Altin Lala recently spoke about the matches that the Albanian National Team will play against Andorra on Thursday and England on Sunday. These matches are valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The former captain is quite optimistic that the Red and Blacks can reach the World Cup, while he also sees a draw between our national team and the "Three Lions" at "Air Albania" as very possible.
" The matches against Andorra and England find us at the best possible moment. Silvinjo knows the team very well. There have been quite a few matches played in the first phase of the season, most of the players are constantly activated, this is important. First of all, we have to focus on the match against Andorra, then England has its own specificity. If we win the first match, the second will be more prestigious. Even from the bench, players can come who can increase the performance of a match, if X player does not work. Everyone is replaceable. 2nd place is a great achievement for us. Against Andorra, not an easy duel .
Indrit Tuci? He is a physically strong player, who also has stability during the game. A quality player.
Ernest Muçi? From the skills he possesses and what he presents on the field, there are very big differences. He must be constant, believe in his qualities. The pressure on our national team is very great. We must start from the first minute to put pressure on the opponent, until we score a goal. These games are also won with duels. The difference between us and Andorra comes from the players. They (Andorra) will defend with many forces, while we must play agile and cross the balls from the lines.
"To believe that we can reach the World Cup. We must believe in the qualities we have, then hope to achieve the goal, why not. Against England, a match to measure strength. Maybe we can get 1 more point ," Lala emphasized for "Ora News".
As is known, Albania will play against Andorra on Thursday in a transfer, and 3 days later against England at "Air Albania". These duels are valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
