The Polish national team is waiting for the play-offs, which will decide whether we will play at the world championships in the USA, Mexico and Canada. However, before the decisive match against Sweden or Ukraine takes place, we must defeat the Albanian national team. Polish players will try to prevent this, among others. current Widzew Łódź player Juljan Shehu, who shared his predictions before this match.
The Albanian suddenly started talking about Urban. “After he came…”
The 27-year-old midfielder talked about them in an interview on the Meczyki channel. However, he did not clearly indicate who would win. – It will be a very difficult match for both sides. Very heavy. It won’t be easy for us or you. I think the details will decide. I don’t know. Poland certainly has a small advantage because they play in Warsaw and will have the support of fans. I know what fans are like in Poland when it comes to clubs and the national team. So it definitely gives you an advantage – he analyzed.
The Widzew player was also asked what he knew about our national team and what he thought about it. – As Albania, we will play against Poland for the third time in three years, so I think we know each other very well. I believe that Poland has very good players. There is no need to give names because everyone knows them. You have a lot of quality, and now – coach Urban. I know him from Górnik Zabrze. In my opinion, after his arrival, we play better football as a team. You have made progress with the new coach, he said.
Will the Widzew player play against Poland? “It depends on tactics”
Shehu has played seven matches for Albania’s national team so far – all of them during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. However, he noticed that he plays slightly differently in the national team than in Widzew. – My roles are not similar. In Widzew I have more offensive tasks than in the Albania national team. But of course it depends on the coaches’ tactics and how they want to play a given match. I am a player who feels good in both tactical systems – he admitted and noted that he plays more often as a nominal number six in the national team.
The Poland-Albania match as part of the 2026 World Cup play-offs will take place on March 26 at the National Stadium. Start at 20:45. If we win, we will play the next match away on March 31.
