Albania manager Edy Reja praises Kumbulla’s leadership
Despite being a regular starter for the Albanian national team, Marash Kumbulla hasn’t been granted consistent playing time by Roma boss Jose Mourinho.
Albania’s manager, Edy Reja, recently gave an interview to Corriere dello Sport, where he praised the young center-back’s sense of leadership and maturity.
“He marked the strongest striker in the world with impressive maturity. He did not suffer Lewandowski and even when he faces physical and strong strikers he is not afraid of one-on-one confrontations.”
“With me he plays in the three-man defense, he also did it with Fonseca but in the national team he often acts as the central figure of the department.”
“He is maturing, growing considerably. From what I see, I think he can easily adapt even to the 4-man defense because behind there he can do everything. He had problems with COVID, then an injury, but with us he played two games, both excellent, one better than the other.”
阿尔巴尼亚国家队主帅雷亚称赞库姆布拉:
面对世界上最强大的前锋时,他表现出来的成熟令人印象深刻,他没有在防守莱万时受到折磨,即使面对身体强壮的前锋,他也不怕一对一对抗。对我来说,他踢三后卫,在丰塞卡执教罗马时也用过这种战术,但在国家队他经常担任后防核心。他正在成熟,还在继续成长,在我看来,他也可以轻松使用四后卫,因为在后防线他无所不能。他此前曾感染新冠,之后又遭遇伤病,但在国家队他踢了两场比赛,两场表现都很出色,而且一场比一场更好。 |
