It will be interesting to see how this Swiss pressing will work against better players. One quality player could bypass three players which would open a lot of space to attack

I don't think they'd be as open, oooo good play from Albania there, they'd be cut to pieces by better sides on the counter.

Captain gone. Two yellows. I'd say that's their chance gone.

That freekick was a bullet, sadly the woodwork was the best defender there.

I think Rodrigues might be someone we will look into signing this summer as a new leftback.

Doesn't he have a low release clause as well? I think it's a good shout.

No idea. My guess is that he played in Germany, Pep knows him well and he is not old, actually, quite young, 23.

Just looked it up. €25M.

But, 23 is a good age and not sure we're getting better for less.

His original contract would be ending in one more season, unless he's signed a new one at some point (which is very likely) - he knows KDB already, and is apparently quite creative... sign him up.

Good money, I think. Sell Kolarov for 10 and get this guy with only 15 spent, not a bad piece of business. I had to look online to convince myself he is 23. He looks 35.

Who would pay 10m for Kolarov?
Personally I think if he goes I think we will get 2-3m tops, but probably just a loan to Italy until his contract is up

I'd have given 2 yellow cards for that 1 incident!

I think we can get £6M for him, just for his left peg alone.

Christ. Don't think Albania will ever score. Sommer has kept The Swiss on it several times now, but the amount of one on ones that the Albanians have missed is ridiculous.
