The deputy coach of the Albanian National Team, Pablo Zabaleta, explained the change that was made in the red and black attack with Manaj from the first minute, as he emphasized that there would be no difference in the tactical alignment.
" It is a friendly match, but we do not approach the match as a friendly match. For 10 years all the matches are good enough that you have to go with the mentality to play at 100%, that's the mentality to grow. Today is the opportunity to show a good performance against a team like Chile and hopefully we can get a good result.
This time we had three options. We think it is a good match for Manaj to play as a starter. Cikalleshi has always been there, we know what Cikalleshi can give us. In these friendlies it is possible to see the youngsters, Manaj is playing well in Turkey, so we decided to give him minutes and see how he will perform with us.
I think that playing against Chile is something similar to what we will find in the European. They are good, they have good technical players, they keep the ball. If we look at the teams we face in Europe, they are similar in this aspect, they want to keep the ball and it is a good test in this aspect.
The scheme is the same. We go with 4 backs, 2 midfielders, an organizer who is closer to the center of attack and the wings. The players know what they are doing, nothing changes. It is important to insist on the concepts we know how to do. It is the first match after many months, it was the opportunity these days to show videos and prepare in training, to show them how we want them to play. We hope there is a good performance and they have fun tonight .
What the hell ? We see him more as number 10, behind the striker, but he can also be on the wings. In the last matches at Besiktas, he has changed his position there. But he's clearly good at playing between the lines, getting back, he's got a good outside shot, he's scored from distance. But let's see, it's good to have a player who can go on the wings and in the center ", said Zabaleta to "SuperSport" before the match.
