Albanian U21 news and results

Good point taken by our boys in Hungary (2-2) goals from Manaj and Latifi both from Endri Cekici's assists.

Hungarians were heavy favourite.

Sick pass by Cekici on that first goal.

If he won't been selfish we would won this match easily, he made two assists but he should understand that team points are most important thing.

Did Rashica play? Can you tell us how he played?

I hope DB gives Rashica and Manaj a chance in the next friendly. Positions of need too. They seem like players that have fighting chances to make the squad for France.

Rashica has solid game and i believe that he will achieve more than anyone else in our U-21, Manaj was very "angry" and had also good game.

All the players in this team are incredibly selfish, especially Rashica who looks to take on 2-3 players at once every time.

I really liked Latifi today.. one of the best games I've seen of him. Even he was selfish though.

The front 4(Rashica, Cekici, Manaj, Latifi) definitely have some talent but now they are playing for their individual self more than the team. If they tried they could get 2nd place in the group.

Anyone knows why the Turkish dude didn't play? He wasn't on the bench either.

Dude i can't believe a player as Vojvoda plays in fourth german division, his agent is probably an idiot because he showed a lot even to our U-21 to find a better team.

De Biasi swapped the entire front three after the Serbia game to face Armenia. By him swapping all the front three players in the space of three days it shows no one has a certain place in the side and he really trusts no one.

Now Manaj, Rashica and Avdijaj are the three who have a year to get themselves a place.

Inter play with three strikers so Manaj has a great oppurtunity and Mancini likes him very much. He becomes a regular in Inter's starting 11 then with the clubs our other strikers play for he surely has to be our number 1.

Rashica looks very promising and starts every game for his club (something which is a myth for our senior players). Adding a few more goals to his game will get him more recognition. However in my view he starts for Vitese which is a bigger club then Roshi's club so it shows a call up is already due.

Avdijaj. He is the wonder kid. Starts every game for Sturm Graz so i guess the only thing that Albanians will use against him is saying he is young. Shalke have a call back option in January so lets see what happens, they're not doing well so maybe they will try and refresh the squad. The usually show faith in the youth.

Cekici and Latifi are also very promising. Not to mention Kace is only 22 and Hysaj 21. If we had a manager who puts faith in youth, commentators and pundits would be calling us a 'exciting and young team' at the Euro's, with a few wonderkids which would have neutrals interested in our team.. Unfortunately with De Biasi we could have Bulku and Salihi and be the Euro's boring side like Iran at the World Cup and so on.

Transfermarkt says Manaj only has 25 minutes in 7 games. Even "sub" would be generous. http://www.transfermarkt.com/rey-manaj/ ... ler/308278

I think he and Avdijaj could go far if they have discipline. (If Avdijaj doesn't pick Austria or something)

Finally the u21's are using the high pressure method used by our first team. As expected it improved our game by miles. I just wonder why they waited so long to use this system though when it's obviously super effective. (seriously why?)
I think now second place is very possible, however a right/center back and a def midfielder are needed as the defence was very exposed at times. Maybe they could use some u21 payers from our first team when they're available. Also, does anyone know why u21 isnt calling up the likes of Albian ajeti and avdijaj to the squad?
