In about two weeks we’ll be facing Saudi Arabia with our domestic selection of Albania B team (probably directed by Salihi or Bulku).

Not even B selection. More like Z. Only Albania leaguers are allowed in this lol

Maybe some of these eastern teams like Legia give permission to Muci? But they are not required to either.

I expect a mixture of Superliga players and youth players from abroad. We wouldn’t even be able to call up Ballkani players since they have a conference league match the following day. Maybe other Kosovar domestic leagues will give permission. I doubt teams will be giving permission to their first team players to go unless they are bench warmers like Celahaku

It’s gonna be Xhixha and Ismalgjeci leading the team lol. But I do generally like this and it allows us to see some hidden players. I hope they call up Bajrami, Toci and some of the younger guys as well.

They still manage a way to call up Cikaleshi, Balaj and Roshi lol. Waiting for the inevitable poach in goal or penalty by Cikaleshi or Balaj after numerous misses which cements them in the starting lineup for Euro Qualifiers.

Don't rule out some shady shit happening.

What's the point of this friendly then? Might as well just schedule a joint practice session with the Saudis.

Albania should have done one of these friendlies with Kosovo. Atleast it will have some interest.

The point is Duka's hands probably got greased. The Saudis want to practice without anyone seeing their amazing tactics. LOL.

I bet the other teams won't even bother studying their team.

Saudis are in a crazy bid to host WC30 with Greece and Egypt.

This could be some sort of bribe for Duka to vote for the bid.

Useless match, most of our players have never played together, probably noone wants to bet on it 🤷‍♂️
