Dobra With Albania U21s - Ipswich Town News

Blues forward Armando Dobra is with the Albanian U21s squad ahead of their European Championships qualifiers against Kosovo and England

The Albanian youngsters face the Kosovans in Pristina on Friday and England at Molineux next Tuesday.

Dobra, speaking to the Albanian media, dismissed suggestions that the Kosovo game was an easy match for his side.

"No, they will play hard, we will play hard,” he said. "We will go to win against England and Kosovo.

"We have a good group, we have chances. The coach has told us what to do, how to play and we are going to win both games.

""We are a harmonious group. We want to win both matches, maybe we have a chance to qualify if we win both matches. Let's see how we get on. Both with Kosovo and England are tough matches.”
