Everyone was surprised yesterday, when Silvinjo, in the 27 names published for the European preparations, did not include important names.
No one expected the absence of Sokol Cikalles, the striker who led the national team as a starter in 7 of the 8 group games, running, sacrificing, fighting for every ball and scoring an important goal from the penalty against Moldova, this draw, which also sealed European qualification.
But why was Cikalleshi left out?
This is probably the question that every Albanian fan asks, even though there may be prejudices due to his age (34 years old), on the field the striker has proven the opposite and for as many minutes as he stayed on the field, he did not stop at any moment .
According to "Panorama Sport", there was a strong runoff between Rei Manaj and Armando Broja to be part of the list.
However, the lobbying of the two attackers to be part of the list was very strong due to many factors and as a result, the "lesser evil" was chosen, leaving the European, Sokol Cikalleshi, out of the list.
Myrto took an early break, missing the last few games with Granada to fully recover from a tendon problem, but learned yesterday that he is not part of the list released by the Brazilian.
This season the Berata striker has scored 11 goals in La Liga, a significant figure for a striker playing for a relegated team.
However, the fit in Silvinho's group after his arrival has not been the best.
There have always been some unspoken dissatisfactions from Uzun, especially for being benched by the Czech Republic twice and Moldova.
This was also noticed by the coach in the gatherings and could be a factor that penalized the 28-year-old.
Keidi Bare, who has been in almost every meeting with Silvinho, was also left out of the list, despite not being preferred as a starter.
The same situation for Veseli, who was called up but did not play.
Meanwhile, the two Arbnors, Muja and Muçolli, have not been selected by the coach, the latter also suffers from an injury and is not ready.
As for Muja, the transfer to Turkey seemed like a step back, but if we look at the list, midfielders with defensive features and genuine defenders have been added.
