I'm not even sure this is coming from him. Mehmeti has been one of the most outstanding players in the Championship so far, there is no way any sane manager will deny him an invite over Superliga players unless there is something else going on.

It is 100% some kind of conflict.

Either way, whoever is responsible for it needs to go.

Mehmeti has some history of behaviour issues in his career, I'm not saying that's why for sure, but it seems obvious that the situation is nothing to do with football or form.

It is either a personal problem with Sylvinho or the federation.

Official reason given by Silvinjo in the press conference is that we have left wing covered. Looking at the list, there is Hoxha and Bajrami at lw. This time Muci is not there. Often times all 3 are called up at the same time, so this time with Muci being dropped, deff no logical reason not to call up Mehmeti. Also total bullshit about left wing reason as Mehmeti can play right wing too. He’d rather play Broja out of position there again and Asani as backup. There is a lot of fluidity in modern football where a player like Mehmeti for example can play lw, am, rw with no problem, so deff feels like the Mehmeti issue goes way deeper than this.

Silvinho has always been a fraud. He’s probably even worse than Edi Reja at this point.

He’ll play to secure a 1-0 defeat in Serbia and count it as a victory. We’ll see sugar Ray out there getting bullied and destroyed. Broja will be played out of position as a winger again. Serbia is such a slow and oversized team but yet he won’t play somehow find a way to play slower than them.

What a disaster this campaign has been.

Honestly it's probably a technical reason like that. And in Mehmeti's last game for the nt he was very ball-hoggish. He refused to pass the ball. Sylvinho probably took that the wrong way and doesn't value him.

For Albania It's a problem because the attack is an issue. The front 3 of Hoxha-Manaj-Broja are not giving you anything. They are even struggling against Gilbraltar and Latvia.

Can't be a technical reason for 2 years. Mehmeti has grown a lot since then and he's doing fantastic in a difficult league like the Championship. If Silvinjo can't even use him in a friendly v. Gibraltar or Jordan, then when is he going to play? Anyways I believe Silvinjo will be gone once these qualifiers end. A reset will be needed in 2026 and I'm sure Mehmeti will be involved again then.
