[WC 2018] Albania - Spain - 09/10/2016

[Simboli i Diellit]

We can try go like Kosova

Hysaj-Djim-Mavraj-Aliji
Xhaka - Basha
Roshi - Grezda - Latifi(Lenjani)
Balaj

Or having a balanced/packed midfield

Hysaj - Djim-Mav- Agolli
Xhaka - Basha - Memushaj
Roshi - Balaj - Aliji

[Genti]

I can see DB playing Lila at RW. Something like this

Roshi Balaj Lila

Abrashi Kukeli Xhaka

Agolli Gym Mavraj Hysaj

or if he wants to have 9 defensive players with 1 lone attacker which is his dream

Lenjani Balaj Lila

Abrashi Kukeli Xhaka

Agolli Gym Mavraj Hysaj

[Leandro]

we're gonnna see probably lila on RW, roshi on LW and fucking kukeli. or he's gonna give grezda his debut against fucking spain

DB is a coward. There is a 99.99% chance Lila will play this match.

Spain is a nightmare matchup for Albania.

Theoretically, but Loro Borici will be completely waterlogged. You can't play tiki taka in that condition, and it favors more physical teams.

First, EURO finalists France and Portugal playing in Elbasan with people watching them from balconies, now, Iniesta & co travelling through Bubq and Laç with a crappy bus to play in Shkoder.

Gotta love qualifiers

From day one i have said this is our nightmare game. Whoever said it will be the longest 90 minutes is correct, especially as long as we are level. There is no team in the world we are should avoid more than Spain. Tika taka small players high press is completely the opposite of what we want. Spain, Argentina and Brazil are the three teams in the world i feel we need to avoid at all costs, the rest we always stand a chance.

Ajet missing is a big, big blow. We saw how amazing he was vs France.

How should we play? I think De Biasi would know best for this defensive bunker type game.

The pitch is in great shape (unfortunately). Idiots should not have taken care of it.

Crowd the middle of the pitch and force spain to go on the sides to try and cross it in. I'll rather defend endless crosses rather than that whole tiki taka shit in the middle.

Either way I'm oddly optimistic as I don't think we'll get embarrassed. I think it will be 1-0 Spain

Damn fucking right, Po ne na ze turpi se ça do shkruajne Thpanjollet e leshit. We should learn a thing or two from the Central Americans when it comes to home field advantage.

DB wants to start Hyka and Kukeli, and replace Balaj with Cikalleshi.

We're going to play like shit, but it's going to rain so much that Spain will be hindered massively. At the end of the day they're probably going to score in 60th, and then in extra time, and we'll give DB credit for holding out, and excuse him because it's Spain and we were going to lose regardless.
