"Albania must play a serious match, with maximum concentration. These are matches that help build the team's mentality. You need special patience. In this way, you know what to do. You need a lot of respect for San Marino, we will take the appropriate measures for any situation that may arise". Rolando Maran is ready for the challenge with San Marino, to continue with the second consecutive victory in the Nation League. Perhaps the Italian coach's mind is on Finland, but it is a match to be won tomorrow and in the press conference before the challenge, Maran insisted on this point, knowing how the game will develop. "When you have ball circulation, especially with a team that will have the tendency to close in defense, we must have space so that you can move, let's say, the opposing defense. To create space, in order to avoid making any mistakes that could lead to a problematic result".
What Maran is keeping secret is the formation. The Italian is clear in his ideas, but not so much as to reveal it even to the players themselves: "I practically have an idea of who the starting 11 could be. We still have about 24 hours before we play the game. I am convinced that everyone will enter the field to make the best possible match. Not even the players know yet, it would be disrespectful to find out in advance from the media."
On the other hand, it is understandable that changes need to be made, because there are 3 matches left to play in a week and there were 4 in 11 days. "It is something different and the fact that 4 matches are played in a row for the first time - explained the concept Maran -. When I made the list of players, I took into account the physical conditions and characteristics. Both of the opponents, but also of the players. There may be a change, but not in the physiognomy of the team. It is important that we grow in value, I am convinced that whoever plays will be motivated to do their best. The 28 players gathered have maximum commitment. There may be some change, as the conditions favor it, but not in the physiognomy of the team".
