Albanian players in training (archive) |
Towards "Euro 2024," something that the entire public opinion, fans, players, staff, and federations are demanding for sure.
To recap 2016 when the Red and Blacks faced the challenge with the Czech Republic, which will be played on the 12th in Tirana, and then in November, we have two matches against Moldova away and the Faroe Islands at home, where in all three challenges we need a minimum of five points to secure qualification. But, let's go back to the October clash, where the team will add another name like Broja.
ATTACK CHANGES
Armando Broja has not yet made his debut under Silvinja's orders, due to the serious injury the striker suffered. However, we are now in a situation where the 22-year-old returned to the field with Chelsea's blues this weekend and is expected to play in the upcoming two matches, increasing his chances of getting minutes in the national team's match against the Czech Republic, especially considering Sokol Cikallesh's condition, who is currently injured in the hip and the return is projected for 2 to 3 weeks, seriously jeopardizing this match.
However, depending on how Kavaja's condition progresses, another alternative is Mirlind Daku, physically strong to handle duels with Czech defenders. Another name that is putting Silvinja in a "dilemma" is Ernest Muçi.
The 22-year-old footballer is going through fantastic form at Legia Warsaw, becoming a key protagonist in recent matches. In the matches of September, given the characteristics of the opponent, Silvinjo did not reserve a single minute for Muçi, while the left wing was shared between Uzuni and Seferi, who were also responsible for the defensive phase and pulling back.
With Uzuni having a concern in his hip, even though there is enough time until the day of the match, it is expected to see whether Ernest Muçi will start the match against the Czech Republic, forming the duo with Broja from the U-19 National Team four years ago or the Brazilian will once again trust the winning formation if Cikalleshi manages to recover.
