Albania national team prepares for San Marino match

Albania national team coach Rolando Maran has addressed the team's recent performances and upcoming fixtures in the Nations League. Following a victory against Belarus, Maran emphasized the need for focus and tactical identity in the upcoming match against San Marino, noting that such games are essential for building team mentality.

To manage player fatigue during a dense schedule, Maran indicated that squad rotation is expected. Players such as Stavro Pilo and Ylber Ramadani may be rested to avoid yellow card risks ahead of the match against Finland. Maran also noted that substitutions, including Kristjan Asllani and Kristjan Gjimshiti, were strategic decisions to manage player workload.

Former coach Armando Cungu commented on the team's progress, specifically praising Ernest Muçi's performance and suggesting he deserves a consistent starting role due to his high-level play in the Turkish league. Maran concluded by acknowledging the difficulty of facing San Marino, citing Finland's recent struggles against the same opponent as evidence that no match should be taken lightly.
