Benardi emphasized that he does not understand if the players are not giving their best, since they gave a much better performance in the European Championship. According to him, something is missing in this period.
"This year the national team has been weak. I don't know if they don't want to give their best, but we saw that in the European Championship they performed much better than that. It seems like something is missing in this edition.”
Tomas emphasizes that there is no longer the "enthusiasm" and organization that they showed before.
"The decline of the National Team started in the European Championship. There is a stalemate that can be related to formation or tactics. The coach is not managing to bring the same energy and organization to the field."
Is the national team divided?
At this point, Maggie brought up another problem: the lack of unity.
"I think they are a bit divided as a team and they don't have that common spirit that they had in the European. Players play in different countries and championships. Eid is in Scotland, Mitaj in Arabia and Laçi in the Czech Republic. These changes affect a lot. Even the way they train is different and, for this reason, adapting to the National Team becomes more difficult."
Changes in championships and training affect how players perform in the national team. For example, Uzuni plays a very good game in Spain, but fails to give his best with the National Team.
Another problem is the lack of playing time for some players, as Tomas mentioned, but again this was considered more of an excuse.
In the end, they emphasized the need for a new tactical approach and for more cooperation between the players to bring the National Team back to its best form.
