Saturday is approaching and the "fever" of the match between Italy and Albania is getting stronger and stronger. Not only in the red and black camp and the sports opinion in our country, but also in the opposing camp.
The head of Italy's delegation to "Germany 2024", Xhanluixhi Buufon, has recently spoken in more detail about the European group matches, where the "Axurres" will face Albania, Spain and Croatia. The former legendary Italian goalkeeper has focused quite a bit on Saturday's match with the red and blacks, which he considers quite delicate not only because it is the debut, but also for a special reason: the Albanian fans. Buffon emphasizes that 80% of the Dortmund stadium, where the match will be played, will be Albanian fans, as happened in "France 2016".
Albanian fans - " We have the match against Albania at the beginning, which on paper seems to be the easiest match in our group. But that's not the case, I think it will be a very delicate match for Italy. Delicate, because the first is the debut match in the European and all the first matches are difficult, as you have to "break the ice". Second, it is a difficult match, because Albania is a team on the rise and, above all, it will have an extraordinary public support in Germany. I remember that when they went to the European Championship in France in 2016, in their matches in the stadium there were 80% Albanians and 20% the rest of the fans.
And I am convinced that it will be the same on Saturday in Dortmund. Then there are the matches with Spain and Croatia, which as a team have great technical values and are probably superior, but Italy will fight hard with all of them ", Buffon emphasized in a statement on his Instagram profile. Italy does not come to this European tournament in the best possible condition due to several injuries, so the "Axurr" camp is quite afraid of the match with the Reds and Blacks. If the coach Spaleti's team does not win against Albania, then the passage of the group becomes almost impossible for him.
