With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!
Portugal lost against France 1:0 on 85th , this must be the first loss since last sptember So they will come focused and willing to get full pts. Kaçe-Basha should definitively play along with Roshi as RW. Hysaj should be ready for the game and Djimsiti will probably sit on bench. Our midfield with Kaçe-Basha(Kukeli)- Xhaka seems balanced to me

This trio in midfield must happen. Anyone with half a brain would know Kace has to start. It's as if De Biasi prefers inferior players. His love for players such as Bulku, Dallku, Vila, Cikaleshi and co is so wierd. Kace plays every game for a good team in a decent league, will be playing in the Europa League, is considered as one of their best players by PAOK fans at 22 years old and had played very well whenever he plays for us especially in the last game where we beat France and he scored. Just wierd as f*** really.
Cikaleshi is not scoring for his club which are doing really badly in Turkey and he came on as an 88th minute sub in their last game, and has also been very poor in every game he has played for the National team. On the other hand Balaj has 4 goals in 7 games for his club and has impressed when playing for us. I will never understand De Biasi's logic.
Di Biasi starting players that fit his system. Pressing, defense, aggressiveness, etc. Abrashi is a bit better than Kace defensively and presses the shit out of opponents but Kace seems to be pretty decent at that as well. I honestly don't know whats going on there. It's why Villa was starting for the longest time(because he was like a track runner out there), why Lila kept on starting in the midfield(he's a little pitbull) and Bulku probably just had nudes of DB or something.
I don't think Cika is bad. He works really hard and to his defense he gets 0 service. The only player that was able to connect with him was Lenjani and he was later subbed. I don't even think Cavani would have done any better.

I understand the 'starting players which fot your system' but in no way is Kace a slouch, he is very agressive and runs all day long, the only excuse De Biasi can have is that he is a small player. He is much better than the other midfileders and i think everyone agrees he deserves to start.
Cikaleshi js the definition of a player chasing shadows. It just seems as if he runs around doing nothing all game. Balaj is in form and should be starting.
Hysaj, Kace, Balaj and Roshi in for the next game and i feel we will have a squad which can pass the ball around a bit.
Super tough game against Portugal. One thing for sure is that we can't play the same way as against Denmark. More quick players are needed and size doesn't matter.
