The teams of Romania and Albania play a game of life and
death, the third and last group A, since only worth them the victory if they
hope to get into the second round of the European Championship.
A draw would eliminate the two teams since Romania has
only one point, which managed to Switzerland in the second round, and Albania
has lost its two games.
In principle the Romanian combined would be worth to win
to advance to the second round because what he does Switzerland against France,
the 4 points could be enough for him to finish among the four best third of the
six groups that make up this competition. Albania, however, in case of winning
would be at the expense of a miracle.
Statistics puts the group coached by Angel Iordanescu as
favorite because it has never lost an official match against Albania. Of the
eight times they have faced six Romanian victory ended and the last two in the
qualifiers for Euro above with a tie.
However the Albanian side that has brought Gianni de
Biasi France has shown that fails as a simple helper. Against Switzerland lost
by the minimum and almost had a dislike to France. The two French goals in the
final minutes did not detract in any way the great work you are doing the
Italian coach in front of the Balkan team.
The match will be like a final for both teams so the
psychological aspect will be essential, as recognized by the Romanian striker Florin
Andone in preparation for tomorrow's clash. "We will try to be patient and
play calmly thinking that they also need the victory," said the striker
Cordoba.
Iordanescu could change his starting XI with respect to
that played against Switzerland since two of the then holders, Mihai Pintilii
defensive midfielder and left-back Razvan Rat, drag minor muscle problems.
Yesterday exercised separately with Filip Steliano.
Romanian coach itself may have the goalscorer, Bogdan
Stancu, fully recovered from a concussion he suffered against Switzerland. The
striker headed Steaua Bucharest with Bale, Morata Payet and the list of top
scorers in the tournament with two goals from the penalty spot.
Albania, meanwhile, is presented with a significant drop
since its titular defensive pivot, Burim Kukeli, it is sanctioned card
accumulation. This important absence is that of Ledjan could unite Memushaj
that, as a precaution, not involved in the last training session because of
discomfort in a twin.
While Gianni de Biasi recover the central Lorik Cana, one
of the pillars of the team that missed the game against the Swiss team being
sent off for two yellow card on his debut against France.
The Albanian team plays in order to continue making
history in the Balkan football as if it would win his first victory in the finals
of a European Championship.The hypothetical passing round would be his greatest
triumph in an international tournament.
