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!

If Djmisiti played for Kosovo he would be hailed as the next Maldini.

Yeah I noticed the difference between Albania and Kosova fans. Albanian fans put their players down and Kosova treats them as heros. Maybe that explains some of the results of both teams. Albania ties Andorra at home and Kosova beats Bulgaria away :)

We literally labeled Mavraj the Albanian Bonucci. And guess what Mavraj had an amazing stretch from 2014 - 2016.

We also label Cana as a gladiator. Roshi gets treated like CR7. Andi Lila was treated like a god LMAO. Balaj was a rock star

We’re no different

No point in downgrading a real man like Djimsiti.. some people even had him in formation of the year for Serie A.

Djimsiti was right on the pitch when we gave up two goals at home to Andorra but you will not hear me say a bad word about him when our midfield is garbage water..

Not true. Mavraj was never appreciated even though he was our most solid and consistent defender for years. I remember his debut against Iran (1-0 win). That's when the defense started looking solid for the first time. Even so, fans never truly appreciated Mavraj. Maybe because of his strong religious views? He also rejected Albania (3 times) before he joined and wasn't a flashy defender. He was quietly solid, not fast but positional and read the game well. He was better than Cana on defense but guess who was more loved and appreciated?

When was Andi Lila(a literal meme created by fans) treated like a god? Lol. Balaj was never rated by anyone but fans obviously showed love for his goal against Portugal. FSHF/coaches treated him like a rock star more so than fans. Anyone with a brain knows that he shouldn't be in the NT.

Plako is right. Albanians generally have pessimistic views about the team and its players. That's because experience.. Decades of disappointments will do that, but because of it we also have much higher standards for Albania.

Kosovars are exactly the opposite. They could beat San Marino and hype Paqarada like he's Roberto Carlos.

Mavraj was instrumental in our 2016 Qualification. Probably our best player along with Berisha and Xhaka.

Andi Lila literally gets paraded around. He's in commercials, on talk shows, journalists sucked him off and he constantly got called up for years. Imagine dropping Rashica for Andi Lila lmao. And we wonder why diaspora players reject us.

And Roshi literally gets treated by a god from the journalists and from you guys. He can give up two goals against France in a few minutes and you guys will do mental gymnastics trying to protect him lmao.

That's the media and FSHF (Duka and his minions) but most fans never fawned over any of these guys. The only player who was truly treated as a royalty by fans was Lorik Cana. Picking Lila over Rashica was the mos infuratiating decision by FSHF in ages. Will never forget that travesty.

Albania fans are extremely bitter and pessimistic, unlike Kosova's fans. That is due to decades of disappointments.

Btw speaking of Roshi, he's lowkey killing it in Russia. 9 goals as a winger this season.

Not bad for someone who's way better for NT than for club.

Lila gave us the assist against Romania. Our only win in a major competition :)

Say what you want about Andi Lila but he contributed big time to our growth and success under De Biasi. Fans never appreciated him but he was always in shape, had good size(could play multiple positions), and was solid defensively.. he was once our fullback of choice before the days of Hysaj
