Ever since Nedim Bajrami debuted with the Albanian National Team, I have kept detailed statistics for all the minutes he has played in the red and black jersey. Because a fantasist like him has rarely come to our National Team, the last one at his level could have been Ervin Skela.
In the total minutes that Bajrami has played with the red and black shirt, almost 74% of our dangerous actions have had him as the protagonist, either with the constructive pass of the action, or with the final pass before endangering the opponent's goal, or with the dangerous finalization of the action . Not for nothing, the Italian club, Sassuolo, paid 6 million euros for his transfer from Empoli.
And while Bajrami was shining in our national team, he was also shining in Sassuolo, he was the protagonist in his favorite position of the fantasist in front of the opposing area (the classic position of number 10). But at the end of the first stage in Italy, he suffered an injury.
And the Norwegian Thorstvedt took his place. Since then, Bajram's minutes on the field have been fewer. Even when he was on the field, he played more out of his preferred position, playing as a half-forward. And we come to the match against Chile.
In that match, Bajrami played in the classic position of number "10", where he was supposed to, with his natural imagination, serve as a hinge connecting the midfield with the attack. But the lack of playing minutes in that position for his club seems to have affected that we did not see the Bajram we saw during the European qualifiers. Meanwhile, in the match with Sweden, Bajrami played as a wing half-forward (as he has played for Sassuolo in recent months).
But with Sweden he didn't shine, maybe because he wasn't in his ideal position, but because he might be out of shape.
In the coming months, it should be seen where and how Bajrami will play with Sassuolo. If he regains the form he had before January, he is undoubtedly the ideal footballer for Silvinho's 4-2-1-3 system (in position number "10"). Otherwise, one should think about a 4-4-2 system, with four defensive midfielders and only two goal-sniffing forwards...
