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!

He's only a starter in Eredivisie, pretty mediocre if you ask me.

I posted it because he's Macedonian and they are comparable to Albania in terms of population, infrastructure, etc but they are still producing way better offensive talent. It's annoying.
Enis Bardhi is one of their products too.

By the way , the son of Igli Tare (Etienne Tare 15 years old) is now part of Lazio Primavera . It would be nice having him develop and become the striker we need for the NT aswell. Althrough most of the time the expectations on the sons of football players fail , they never become as good as their parents but i’m quite sure his dad will furnish him all the good opportunities and loans to show himself : https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/lazio-t ... -primavera

Ps. Tare has another son Noel who plays at Lazio aswell, younger though...

Btw his bio in Italian says he is from albanian minority in N Macedonia. Still this guy got capped by his major NT at the age of 17 against Spain while playing with his club Rabocniki . This hasn’t happened in decades for us , noone calls a Superliga talent or under 19 diaspora players at the NT to get capped or promoted. He was scouted by Fenerbace and then boosted his career.... Actually the Albanians of Macedonia are producing better offensive talent than the FSHF system has ever produced the last two decades. Elmas, Aliji, Bardhi, Seferi and plenty of other youngsters filling our/their youth teams... The system is rotten , things have to change otherwise there is no future.

A player that we lost that we don't talk about is Vedat Muriqi. This guy is an absolute beast. Very physical, good hold up player, good in the air, good enough finisher, tries defensively. He's Bekim Balaj on steroids.

Who needs Muriqi when you have Balaj and Cikalleshi :)

Muriqi is cikalleshi more than Balaj, Cika is no anti footballer like you say, he’s good with the ball on his feet and a good passer and shooter too... steroids don’t make you better with ball on your feet and more talented, they just make you physically stronger quicker and higher stamina.

Muriqi has 5 goals in 20 games for Kosovo. That's pretty poor for a striker.. especially considering that 90% of their games have been against semi-amateur level opponents.

Turkey is a competitive league??

LOL

It's a glorified village/retirement league. I'd say on par with Greece(even though Greek clubs have much more success in Europe the Turkish).
