Inter fans seem to dislike him.


They are not like Albanian fans who are just happy with backwards and sideways passing. They expect to have the ball so they demand creativity and compare him to high level creators.

And what's annoying about Asllani is that he's not good defensively to be playing the way he does. He needs to be creative or else he becomes useless.

Next game they start Iniesta again and were down 0-1 against Urawa Reds until they subbed him off in the 72nd minute scored 2 quick goals and won..

And he made no mistakes at all. Probably 99% passing accuracy if I were to guess.

Unfortunately he will only be judged by his creativity. Just playing it 'safe' all the time doesn't cut it at a club like that. He's a master at playing safe but they want him to create chances and show more personality.

Yeah, they just don’t see enough impact or confidence yet, especially in a role that demands both.
He shows more confidence for Albania though. He scored a couple of goals as well.
Anyway, we are not Inter, so we don't have the luxury to discuss about him. We have more problems in other positions.

With Duka at the helm since 2003, Albanian football has been in a nosedive. His only saving grace is the diaspora.
He's definitely to blame but the clubs themselves are so poorly mismanaged and corrupt that it all can't be attributed to Duka. The Tirana teams which represents like half of the countries population are complete trash and constantly get embarrassed in Europe. All the Albanian teams are short sighted and turn their entire roster and staff off every single year. All of these teams have issues with honoring contracts. They don't invest in youth set ups. They sign over priced foreign players. They don't invest in their infrastructure. They sell their best players before the European competition starts for peanuts. These owners just use their teams as a way to funnel money and they don't care about the results.

It still boggles my mind how a team like Partizani or Tirana hasn't had a monopoly in the league yet is insane. A village team like KF Ballkani has done more and produced more players that both Tirana teams have done in the past 20 years which is crazy.
With kars like Olsi Rama in charge what do you expect - Egnatia is being run well at the moment, a nice stadium, building a new training complex and selling players for good fees then reinvesting the money.

At least he is honest unlike the others and with only an Albanian mother it was obvious but at least he doesn't pretend he is patriotic and the FA is in the wrong, tells it like it is and I respect him for that.

Lol, what's the point in this exactly?
I remember this guy from a few years ago and there was interest then. Seems like back then he was a bit better and would have been called up if the player was interested. Now there's really no point because it seems like he's on the decline and would be the third choice at right back.

Albania does need a new right back soon as Hysaj and Balliu are old. We're a year away from a Lorenc Trashi type of player playing at right back.
That is the problem though. We are relying on luck, some random diaspora player coming up. There is no clear strategy on youth player development. At least on the left side we got really lucky with Mitaj. But even there, if he is out, we get Naser Aliji
When you can't produce any domestic players we have to be reliant on diaspora. Literally any professional player in the diaspora has a chance with the Albanian NT due to how bad player development is in Albania. Albania has to be the worst in the region in player development (maybe Montenegro is worst) and even Kosovo produces twice the players Albania does and they've only been recognized by FIFA for like 8 years now.
