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!

I love that the highest praise is simply them being "professional". Such a high bar
Honestly at international level that's all you need to qualify and be competitive.
Albania's achilles heel has always been the fact that we had too many "amateurs" and very few top 4 league players. Albania improved a lot when Mavraj(Bundesliga level) and Hysaj(Serie a) joined the team. That's not a coincidence.
Looks like Ismaijli to Empoli. They seem to really be high on him.
Roshi to Boluspor in the Turkish First Division. He had a good NT career but his time is up
I cannot wait to see Broja playing in the EPL. Young man has the chance to make us all proud by scoring some big goals against the best teams in the world.
It will not be easy, as even an experienced striker like Aleksandar Mitrovic only found the back of the net 3 times in roughly 1400 minutes last year. The Serb had registered 26 goals in the championship the previous season.

Time to see what Broja is really made of.
If he can get 5-10 goals playing consistent mins then that’s a fantastic year for someone his age .
Dinamo was kind of bad that year, I think they didn't win the league that year? But anyways that was super impressive and Skenderbeu didn't even win the Superliga (Kukesi won). Just goes to show what some professionalism and confidence will do. They kept their core together through the years (unlike all albanian teams) and had massive experience going through years and years of qualifying. The stage wasn't too big for them.
Opposite of these current Albanian teams. Every year Albanian teams have excuses and always get crushed by teams they're supposed to lose to. Partizani didn't even bother putting up a fight against Basel, Vllaznia was expecting a loss against a Cypriot team, Teuta is just happy to collect prize money. Albanian teams have the mentality that they're the underdogs so they always play timid and scared.
