I'm fine if Cika makes the roster. He's probably a good "locker room" guy and helps the comradery.Plako wrote: Mon Oct 23, 2023 8:16 pm
He also seems to have the respect of a lot of the players. If Andi Lila made the Euro 2016 squad because of team spirit Cika will absolutely be there.
However, Sylvinho needs to take the "risk" of starting Daku or Broja over him. And do it now. Go for the double Ws against Moldova and F Islands. And still go for the W in the friendlies.
We made the mistake in 2016 of starting Cana when there was clearly better players in his position. Mavraj was our best CB that campaign. Ajeti and Djim were clearly better than Cana imo. But we went with "our guy" and it bite us in the ass. I know you have to have big ballz to make that kind of change. But it was necessary.
I'm afraid we will fall in the same trap this time. Cika is only getting older and slower. Sylvinho has to realize this.
