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!

Al Ittihad need to work on their conditioning..

Al Ittihad is known for their offensive output so I was counting on them to score in front of their home fans (especially after going down a goal in the first half).

After the 70th minute, they could hardly get up and down the pitch.

Just rolled over and accepted defeat..

Mitaj was mediocre got subbed off late..

Mitaj wasn't even called up to the squad by Laurent Blanc before he got fired. He's not doing great there.

It's a bad league for him though. While he needs to be playing in high rhythm/intensity he's stuck in a situation with pensioners who don't want to run or try hard.

Mitaj is probably making 3x more in Saudi Arabia than he would be earning in whatever league is his level in Europe (Netherlands, Fringe Serie A team, Good Serie B Team, etc).

Unfortunately, what's best for your development/career is not what's best for you financially. Can't say I blame him because I think most players would do the same. Add another player to the failed golden generation of Albania that could have been special (Broja, Asllani, Kumbulla, Mitaj, Muci, Bajrami, etc)

Mitaj just turned 22. He's got plenty of time. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise for him, because he needs to go back to Western Europe.

Broja and Kumbulla got very unlucky with horrible injuries, hardly anyone comes fully back in football after tearing their ACL. The others have made bad career choices, but their still very young and can turn their careers around.
