Undoubtedly, 10 red and black players playing in the neighboring country cannot fail to catch the eye of the Italian media. "La Gazzetta dello Sport" has prepared a special article for Albania, seeing Berat Gjimshiti as the star of the team and the surprise that could be Armando Broja.
" Albania is the first opponent of the Italians in the European Championship. The debut will be on June 15 in Dortmund. The Albanians have qualified for the final stage of the European Championship for the second time, after 'France 2016'. They won the group with 15 points and are ranked above the Czech Republic, which ended with equal points, but with the disadvantage of the direct match. In the friendlies played in March, Albania lost 0-3 to Chile in Parma and 1-0 to Sweden in Stockholm .
The coach - "Of many old Italian acquaintances, there is also Silvinjo, who started work at the beginning of 2023 after the departure of Edi Reja. The former Barcelona defender was Mancini's assistant at Inter. He is sitting on a bench that was previously occupied by Xhani de Biazi and Kristian Panuçi. His staff includes athletic trainer Luka Laurenti from Terni, video analyst Alariko Rossi from Siena, as well as Turin doctor Xhanluka Stesina. "We work day and night, thinking about the European Championship. It's a dream for us. We are in a very strong group and that's why we have to improve", said Silvinjo after the friendly with Chile in front of 15 thousand Albanians".
Yjet- "Silvinjo has collected 27 players, where one must be removed before the final list is submitted. The 'Italians' are 10: Etrit Berisha and Ismajli from Empoli, Kastrati from Citadel, Gjimshiti from Atalanta, Hysaj from Lazio, Asllani from Inter, Kumbulla and Bajrami from Sassuolo, Berisha and Ramadani from Lecce. Kristjan Asllani and Nedim Bajrami come from a difficult season. The first was declared champion with Inter, but he stayed on the bench longer. The second was relegated with Sassuolo. The star, judging by his experience, is also the captain of the national team and comes from a triumph in the European League with Atalanta".
Surprise - "Armando Broja, 22 years old, has worked hard this season at Fulham because he was suffering from a serious injury to his knee ligaments. In any case, the striker, who has also been called up by England's U-21 because he was born in this country to Albanian parents, wants to use the European to get the appreciation of Chelsea who has his card".
