Croatia-Albania 2-2, for Italy it is better to get at least one point against Spain

This time Albania managed to avoid the usual end after taking the lead. The script seemed the same. They took the lead, after which they conceded two goals. When it looked like they were about to lose, Sylvinho’s national team managed to equalize with Gjasula (author of the own goal that had given the Croatians the lead). Croatia had scored the two goals between the 74th and 76th after having gone behind in the eleventh through Laçi. We have already written about Hysaj’s role.

At this point both Croatia and Albania have one point in the standings. Whoever wins between Italy and Spain qualifies for the round of 16. Whoever loses, however, will play everything on the last day. A draw would partially put an end to bad jokes.

THE FEAR OF THE POSSIBLE BISCUITS OF THE SPANISH PEOPLE

Hysaj, European nightmare: Barella scores, and today he had a hand in Croatia’s two goals

Hysaj, European nightmare: Barella scores, and today he had a hand in Croatia’s two goals. Albania then equalized: it ended 2-2.

These Elsed Hysaj European Championships that Sarri and Giuntoli brought to Naples will be remembered for a long time. The Albanian right-back was at the center of a shit storm in Albania after the opening match against Italy. Hysaj ducked Barella’s shot and the ball ended up in the goal. Today, similar situation. Albania took a 1-0 lead against Croatia before conceding twice in three minutes, between the 74th and 76th. First goal by Kramaric whose right-footed shot ended up between the legs of poor Hysaj (not guilty this time). Then, however, the former Napoli player was overwhelmed by Budimir who then undisturbed put it in the middle where the sure shot was deflected into the goal by Gjasula.

We missed you Hysaj, it’s contemporary art you ducking Barella’s shot which ends up in the goal

Elsed Hysaj how we missed you. It’s been a while since we had the pleasure of enjoying your performances, your interpretations of the role of right winger. A shyer, more introverted Cafù who doesn’t like the limelight. We found you last night in the Dortmund stadium. You who are a pillar of the Albanian national team (from this detail we should have understood the tons of propaganda that had been served to us about this team): 86 appearances, the second in the history of Albania; before you the only Cana.

Hysaj we remembered you the other night

Last night we remembered you. When on the left you got knocked like a skittle by Dimarco. And again, at 1-1, when you ducked Barella’s shot in such a way as to allow the midfielder’s shot to end up in the net. Generosity is a forgotten characteristic in contemporary football. All obsessed with selfishness. Instead, Hysaj also knows how to look at his opponent and his ambitions. In Italy they tend not to point out the Albanian’s stunt because the national team must be idolized regardless. A continuous exaltation which ends up disorientating the poor football fan who in the comments does not recognize the modesty of the show and is prey to an identity crisis.

The Corriere dello Sport and the Gazzetta gave him a 5 on their report cards. This is Gazza’s opinion:

More positional football than that… In the sense that he stays very low on the right, and however has to deal with Dimarco and Pellegrini. It’s not easy to withstand the impact. Asani helps little.

We can say that life has the virtue of selecting memories and we had removed it: a strange sensation remained, we didn’t understand what it was. Then the first sixteen minutes were enough to focus on the past.
