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!

Is Asllani a physical player?
Is Asllani good defensively?
Is Asllani a creative player?
Is Asllani a good shooter?
What exactly is Asllani good at?
For Albanian standards??? He's great in all of that.
For world standards??? He has other qualities. He's 2 footed, good passer, comfortable on the ball, very composed/intelligent for his age, and can take set pieces. That's why Inter values him so high and why he would start for most other teams.
Albanian ranking from best to worst:
Broja
Djimsiti
Asllani
Mitaj
Muci
Hysaj
Bajrami
Kumbulla
Balliu
Ismajli
Strakosha (in decline)
Laci

the rest are amateurs/liabilities
Inter values him so high that he only plays when the game is already over..
Such an intelligent passer that he rarely messes up the customary pass backwards.
Two footed so can pass to the defenders or goalie with both feet.
Great composure so he takes set pieces into the 2nd deck.
Only name missing from this list is super professional maestro Keidi Bare..

Are you serious? How many 30-40 meters passes has Asllani given? He's the only one able to switch the play from wing to wing.

I remember only one high through ball from Asllani behind the Georgian defensive line, Manaj couldn't get to it because it was to high. I say let Ramadani, Laçi or the cbs to switch play from one side to the other and Asllani take a more free and creative role.

Balls to who?? Manaj makes no runs behind the defense. He's the laziest striker and was just standing still the whole time. He tries to play like some big target man but he's too short.
No one else was doing it either. The only Albanians who make runs behind the defense are Qazim from midfield and Muci.
We are not missing Bare whatsoever, I still don't forget when he played a through ball to the Polish striker, we have midfielders that at least don't make fatal mistakes now or stupid giveaways.

Last night we saw why Asllani won't get minutes under Inzaghi,
Because the best player in the world at his position (after Rodri) plays over him.
Bayern offered 70 million for Calhanoglu but he rejected the move. Unlucky for Asllani becayse he would naturally have more minutes if it happened. How can 21 year old Asllani compete with a 70 million player at his prime??
Everyone on Inter's bench would be the best player for Albania. You're talking about a team that went to the Champions League final a year ago.
If Julian Alvarez was Albanian, Albanians would claim he's the worst player ever because he was Haaland's reserve.
He needs to leave then if he won't play, he's 22, he needs to be playing regular football to reach his potential.
Staying there to warm the bench in hopes maybe they give you a role in the future won't get him anywhere. Or at least request a loan.
I'm sure they would be happy to sell him 20mill or something and he goes to a mid table club where he can be a guaranteed starter.

Yes, Asani is such an amateur, not like he's one of our most productive players.
No Ramadani either? Even though established Serie A player?

I read the interview Asllani gave after the Georgia match for tv Klan and he literally complained that he was tired vs Georgia because he plays so little for Inter and two full games with Albania in such a short time were to much, lol. Did you see the shot he took, the "through ball" for Manaj and the free kick he took, those are signs of tired legs?!
