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!
All in all to summarise this is what happens when you give a coach too much credit and laude him into God status and never as much question his decisions.
Journos leave him alone and don't as much question any decision he makes simply because we qualified for euros.
The players got us here just as much as De Biasi did and now we have Xhimshiti who De Biasi strung along up until now and didn't pick him in the end for a guy who hasn't as much kicked a ball in contribution to our qualification.
It's sad because most nations picked a surprise youngster in their squad and we left our best one in Rashica out.
This is because we fed De Biasi's ego. We don't really have anyone to blame if we dont like his picks now because we let him.

He started vs Portugal/Denmark too and played well.
De Biasi really did Xhim dirty but maybe Veseli is pretty good??
Veseli has played 32/33 matches this season while Xhim has appeared only during last three Atalanta gamed (lost) , he had 1 mistake per game but had been good playing for us. should've left Mavraj home seriously.

Not angry at all at Veseli's inclusion. Just pissed at DB's I'll bring the "players that brought us there" bullshit.
If you're going to stab people in the back, at least take out Lila.
At the end what did Lila do during these qualifiers? When he played the team was horrible. God he played even in Roshi's place as a winger. Fucking De Biasi's Yes Man. He has made them puppets....
Lila can be a donkey(like giving out silly fouls just outside the box) but he's a great locker room guy and on the field he does give 110% effort. De Biasi has already made it clear that he loves players like that.
Maybe Xhimi thought that he was guaranteed to go and wasn't engaged in the training as much as he should have.. who knows.

It is kinda of shocking honestly leaving out Djimshiti who played an important part in the second half of the qualifiers where we usually choke the most in.
Germany left out Marco Reus who scored 20 goals this season, but hey we can't even drop the almighty Albanian messiah Roshi who played 5 mins this whole season. Any other coach in the world would of have dropped him and by that logic if GDB dropped Djimshiti cause he only played the last 3 matches in Seria A, Roshi should of been cut aswell.

Xhimshiti also strikes me a a good locker room guy. This is really baffling.
