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!

The exclusion of Balliu by FSHF/Reja is the most baffling thing he's done in terms of lineup selections to me. He's an experienced player in his prime starting for Rayo who are in a great form in LaLiga right now, so a good professional player with attacking skills and pace, who starts for a serious team, and not only those two, the alternative is Trashi LOL

His profile is exactly what we need, he starts in LaLiga and for a decent team too, and the starter is a player who plays in Kuwait. Surely now it is time for him to start.

Berisha starting over Strakosha is just as bizarre.

Fshf just sucks at evaluating players. When Bushi says that a game starts 1-0 with Manaj on the field(just because he played in Barca's pre-season) tells you everything you need to know. Now they drop Manaj after realizing that he's not NT material. Only took them a few years and a qualifying campaign lost though.

Bushi also said that Vrioni is the most talented Albanian forward he's ever seen which should also tell you how stupid he is.

Manaj has regressed over the last few years and ever since that Barca hat-trick has been awful. Playing against third division teams can be very misleading.

I remember that he was better in 2019 and to an extent 2020 in that WCQ group and the games against Iceland, ever since then, has not contributed in a game of note and only score against San Marino. Occasionally I watch his 30 min subs for Spezia and he literally does nothing. It's disappointing because I had high hopes for him and thought he could turn good but his attitude sucks and he's been shit in Spezia in the chances he's got. He was promising in 2019 at 21/22 and starting for his Segunda team but no progress or even regression since then.
He deserves not to be called up, maybe it will knock some sense into him. He probably thought he made it after that pre-season hat trick.

There is Superliga/Albanian 'native' favouritism in the team as you see Doka/Trashi play over Balliu, Broja was left in the stands for that game against Hungary and in the friendlies before the campaign against Wales didn't even get called up over Taulant Seferi (that can't score in Superliga).

The most baffling decision was leaving Broja on the bench when Cika got VOCID, after he saved Reja's ass twice against Hungary. I till can't get over the fact we started with jevgjit duo Manaj/Uzuni in our most important qualifier ever.

Careful..

Field goal specialist Uzuni is a fan favorite on this forum, along with the super professional Hysaj and the midget with a wig on, Bare.

Watching Legia is tough and the gap between them and Napoli in talent is so wide. Legia can barely get it past their own half and can't string together a pass. So many missed passes, so much panicking under pressure and a stupid bicycle kick by the defender leading to a penalty kick. They remind me of Albania.

Yeah Uzuni proved against Poland that he can't play in higher levels. His work ethic can only get him so far. He's too limited.

In other news (not so good):

Mourinho is playing Cristante, a DM, in place of Kumbulla in the conference league. This is definitely rock bottom and he's gone in January for sure.

Ernest Muci has looked like a fish out of water against Napoli in two games. Of course it's not only his fault because the team differences are galactic big but he doesn't doesn't look like someone who can counter attack or look dangerous against good teams.

Eh. He came on in the 70th minute and barely had a touch. He had one good attack where he dribbled past a few defenders and created a chance. I don't know how you can realistically judge him on this game.
