Tuchel praises Albania: Strong in counterattacks, I know Broja well

England coach Thomas Tuchel wants to continue his winning streak in the final qualifier against Albania.

In the press conference, he praised the performances of the Albanian national team so far, emphasizing that the red and black team poses a high risk in counterattacks and often changes its structure during the game. According to him, the flexibility in midfield and the quick movements on the wings constitute a significant challenge for the English defense.

"They are very strong on counterattacks, they are very flexible in midfield, they change positions a lot, which will be quite difficult to defend. They like to attack on the right with a lot of speed and dangerous crosses," said the German coach.

Tuchel also spoke about Armando Broja, whom he knows from his time at Chelsea. He said he expects Broja to be activated on the right wing, considering him a player who brings depth, speed and a constant threat towards the goal. The English coach underlined that his team must be careful of the Albanian striker's movements, looking for the right solutions to neutralize him.

"We know that an intact goal can always be broken in football. I know Broja very well because he was my player at Chelsea. He plays regularly for Albania and mainly on the right wing, where we expect him for this match. He brings depth and speed, he is dangerous because he always thinks about scoring. I hope we have solutions to protect him," Tuchel said.

The Albania-England match will be played on "Air Albania", starting at 18:00.
