I would like to thank you all for the updates about albanian football on this forum! I'm a big fan of the national team and wanted just to say my opinion on this last discussion.
I think a mix of technical players and phisical ones can best suit to our Kombetare and generally speaking to every football team. We desperately need technical and creative players, especially in the midfiled and flunks to get the maximum out of Broja, who is the very only potentially "top player" we have. Players like Bare, Asllani, Bajrami even if they make sometimes bad mistakes (Bare) or are lazy (Bajrami) are fundamental for our play. We need players able to hold the ball otherwise we will always be exposed to non stop attacks. I'm not worried about phisicality regarding our roster because it's easier to produce "quantity" players rather than "quality" ones. There will always be a Xhaka, Abrashi or pitbulls like them but it's very rare to have technically gifted players, in fact you can count them on fingers (Skela and who else?!?).
A general consideration on our best formation at the moment (if everyone is available). We need to change the 3 at back in my opionion (even if it will never happen with Reja) and go with a 4312 to get the best out of our players:
--------------Strakosha------------------
Balliu-----Gjimshiti-----Kumbulla----Hysaj
-------Abrashi-----Bare------Laci--------
-----------------Asllani-------------------
-------------Bajrami----Broja-------------
I would love to play Asllani below 2 forwards (like he did against Inter and scored as well). Bajrami (as a typical 10) and Broja (Centre Forward). In non possession phase Asllani can move a step back helping the 3 midfielders.
Uzuni, Cika, Roshi can be options for the last 20-30 mins.
We don't have creativity/speed on the wings, therefore a 352 will never work.
What do you think about it?
Even though I don't really like narrow systems especially for NT the lineup looks good. Would only say :
In my opinion Uzuni is a very important player. Even if he crumbles in front of goal he has a ton of energy, pressing and makes great runs with his speed so at the least is a threat to the backline when we play big teams.
I also think Gjasula is very underrated on the ball and has been great for us recently so deserves time.
