TIRANA, March 26 /ATA/- After the Albanian representative soccer team attended Sunday afternoon’s training session at “Tropikal” resort, the coach Christian Panucci gave a news conference.
As always, this Sunday, the team coach Christian Panucci along with the captain Odise Roshi appeared before the media.
“All I can say is that the team has worked hard during these days. The season is at a critical point when players leave their clubs to gather for the representative team. For the time being, we are focused on beating Norway as we did with Turkey. Concerning the starting line-up, I am dubious about different positions. On the other hand, there are players who have just started the season just as there are others who have remained out of action. Above all, I rely on those who have had some playing opportunities with their clubs,” he said.
Regarding the attack, the coach said: The choice is confined to Balaj, Sadiku and Cikalleshi.
As to the runoff Aliji-Lenjani for the winger, the coach said he would decide in the evening. Tomorrow in the friendly against Norway, I will include Ramadani, who has put the hat of a leading player. Regarding other young players, Panucci said he had six replacements at his disposal. Since the time I took over the national team, the squad is much stronger.
“We need to flex the muscles. The play on attack is getting better. Before winning the match, you have to play on the defensive and then on attack. The recent elements included in the team show strong qualities, which is a good thing for competition among players. “
