An Albanian revival evening. Life has the virtue of selecting memories and we had removed her memories: only a strange sensation remained

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 last night we remembered you
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 also 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.
