With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

The issue is Latvia is happy with 1-1. They just bunker and we don't have the technical ability to break down bunkers. Not with Faroe Island, not with Latvia.
If they were 1-0, they'd actually take risks, and we'd have more space. But conceding that goal, fucked us.
Remember we also gave them a penalty as well.
The main issue is conceding goals in the first place against bad teams, that is a recipe for disaster.
I like how Muci is playing, he is bringing energy and taking the space through the middle, we are far too touchline based in this system and it hasn't worked in both of our games.
The wings are being heavily locked in every game and the space is between the lines. We need players like Muci, Bajrami etc.
It's crazy how much we suck against bunkers. Even against amateurs. I remember when we had that victory lap against Faroe Islands in Tirana, and ended up 0-0.

Asllani's performance was good, other than that I can see the other players do not understand how to provoke movements or openings in closed lines, they should watch him.
Feinting, little body movements, drawing defenders towards him.
The qualifier is not over by any means btw. Considering that both us and Serbia lose all games to England we can come 2nd if we beat them in the return leg.
