Albanians abroad

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Muriqi is not a bad player from watching him on Kosovo he reminds me of a quicker version of cika who never even gets a chance with our nt. Hes better than balaj and sadiku
Dude Cikaleshi is garbage. Muriqi is a physical and more of a traditional player. Cikaleshi is only decent at long range shots.
No way lol cika is good with the ball on his feet as well...cikas problem is he’s a bit slow but he’s still way more talented that any other striker we have

Sadiku on the international level, is the best striker the NT has ever had. No other Albanian forward has performed the way he has for the NT. Club performances is another thing as Tare and Bogdani had better club careers.

Cikaleshi is a fringe player for one of the worst teams in Turkey. Hasn't scored a goal this year. Last year playing in the second division. It's so sad how we still rate this player (in addition to guys like Balaj) who shouldn't even be called up. I think that's another problem with the Albanian media as they still write about these scrubs (Cika, Balaj, etc) like they're stars.

Cika had 2 goals in a game last month against kasimpasa but he hasn’t even got a chance with our nt. Sadiku sucks he’s just a bit better than balaj and nowhere near bogdani or tare.. the fluke goal here and there doesn’t mean anything and if cika had the chances of sadiku whos to say he wouldn’t have the goals too

And Cika doesn't have a league goal this year. Cikaleshi used to get so many chances but he would never score and he's not good at other aspects of his game so when he doesn't score he's pretty much useless. He's not known to track back, he's not fast, can't create, not an aerial threat, etc.

Sadiku was the one who fought for his spot in the team during the friendlies before the 2016 Euro Cup and scored that goal against Romania (Balaj or Cika would have found a way to hit the post). After that he got more time starting and scored some amazing goals. Sadiku was carrying the NT from the stretch after the European championships to the point he got that injury. We missed him big time because we have no goal scoring threats at all.

I honestly hope the new manager drops Balaj and Cika altogether. Call up a random superliga player, call up Kambieri, do something else but why keep trying something that doesn't work?

Sadiku may not be the best striker in the world but for us he is crucial. He spends every single game with the Albanian NT trying to score goals off scraps from our poor midfielders and manages more often than not. To call him anything other than a star for our NT would be nonsensical.

Sadiku is a terrible player... he is not half of the player cika is. Roshi has carried us if anything offensively. Cikas never gotten a true chance with our nt or I’m sure he’d prove a lot of ppl wrong

Even Sadiku at club level is far better than Cika.

Surely the fact that Cika hasn't scored in the Super Lig for nearly 10 full hours of football should say enough?

The Swiss league is nowhere near as good as the Turkish league lol Sadiku has flopped hard at every club outside of the Swiss league..he couldn’t even cut it at legia in his prime... Cikalleshi used to play at basaksehir when they were first in the league. Forget the fluke goals sadiku scores here and there and use the eye test, if you can look at both players and say sadiku is better then fair play

I could not care less what Sadiku does at his club. If he scores for us, that's good enough.

I didn't watch the match but I'm reading that Veseli put on a great performance today. Obviously overshadowed by Dragowski.

Average performance but nothing special. Depends where you were reading? Albanian sport journalists are masters of hyperbole, they are never punctual or factual. It's just arslicking fest.
