As is well known, the group stage matches in Russia will not be played, as decided by UEFA, and therefore no team will be relegated from the group in Division C.
Coach Reja said that there are no favorite teams in this group and Albania will play their chances to win the group. "Since I started my walk here in the match with Iceland, we had a qualitative increase, but also in results, we are here to achieve something better."
Iceland is a strong team, despite the developments it is a physically very strong team. "The main thing is the fight in the air and we have to be careful in every detail, we will try to do our best, but there is no favorite on the field, we have to do our best."
Thank you for following the Nations League game Iceland vs Albania, this afternoon both teams are looking to position themselves as the leader of the group and thus face the next games without so much pressure in their quest to be a competitive team.

AlbertGudmundsson, 24 year old midfielder, this last season played for Genoa in SerieA, in his club he had little participation and could not get rid of relegation, however in his national team with 9 games in the playoffs he scored twice and assisted on one occasion, he will undoubtedly be the player who will lead the selection in the short term in the future.

The competitive Albanian national team was only two points away from playing the UEFA playoff to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, now they are looking to give a great Nations League to prepare their team for the following competitions such as the Euro qualifiers, their participation in the qualifiers was intermittent as they had no problems against the lower teams but when they faced powers like England and Poland, they could do little, This team had a disastrous Euro cup in 2016 and for the 2020 edition they could not qualify, they were not even close to compete against France and Turkey, for this edition of the NationsLeague, not having Russia in competition despite being in the group, leaves the dispute in only three teams and a bad day can make the difference, this team must forget the failures and start preparing with a new generation.
