Albania has one last match to play in this edition of the UEFA Nations League, but, with two days left until the next match, statistics continue to reveal interesting details about the Rossoneri's performances.
This time, speed is the focus. Sofascore has published the data for Albania's fastest footballers in the first five matches of this season, and at the top of the list is a name that might not be expected: Ardian Ismajli.
The red and black defender has recorded a maximum speed of 36 km/h, leaving behind some of the most offensive players of the national team. In second place is Ernest Muçi with 35.7 km/h, while the podium is completed by Mirlind Daku with 35 km/h.
An interesting ranking, which shows that speed is not only the privilege of strikers and wingers. Ismajli proves that even a central defender can have extraordinary bursts of speed, while Muçi and Daku confirm their physical weapons in the attacking phase.
With one match still to be played, it remains to be seen whether these figures will change in Albania's final Nations League encounter.
