Albanian National Team [General topic]

[Princ]

Albania should field an ultra defensive team with only 1 attacker at Poland. We must look to capitalize on the roughly 1 in 4 (~22%) chance of a draw.

————Berisha
Mihaj-Kumbulla-Djimsiti-Ismajli
Doka-Laci-Gjasula-Abrashi-Hysaj
————Cikalleshi

Plenty of size, and protection down the wings will make us hard to beat in the air. Midfield is clogged up with pitbulls to stifle the Polaks up the middle.

Cikalleshi is on form and with a great deal of luck, could possibly score a huge goal to give us 3 points.

Against Poland I’d like to see this formation
———————Strakosha
—————Ismajli Kumbulla Gym
——--Balliu Bare Gjasula Hysaj
———————Bajrami
——————Broja Cika

On paper this is our best, most balanced formation using 3/5/2

That team has 9 players who play in the top 5 leagues , that's not a team who should be parking the bus for 90mins but playing a fast style of counter attacking football. I just hope Reja doesn't mess this up now.

Right, even Cika is top 5 caliber but is penalized bc he doesn’t hold a EU passport. Gjasula played in Bundesliga 2 years ago, and is borderline Bundesliga 1/2 player. Midfield has been shit for years but now there are no more excuses for Reja, he has to deliver or out

The players are all going individually to Poland. He will be joining the team either today or tomorrow for sure.

Pse luhen ne Elbasan dy ndeshjet brenda? Why did we build that new stadium if we are not even going to use it?

———————Berisha
—————Ismajli Kumbulla Gym
——--Balliu Bare Gjasula Hysaj
———————Bajrami
——————Uzuni Cika


Best lineup as of now, assuming that Balliu has not quit on this team. Eventually, in a couple of years, Broja and Muci for the Uzuni and Cika. Thereis talent there for sure.
