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!
Trying to stay optimistic and this might be a blessing in disguise for Broja tbh. That was a brutal injury and maybe he's not 100% yet. His legs need some rest.
Another injury like that and his career is over.

To be honest I'm not understanding the hype around him so far as him really turning into a top player anymore. He may be the best option for Albania just due to his speed and dribbling qualities but he's not some sort of saviour.
We need other improvements and just playing him wont fix anything.

Fulham left Broja out of the squad.

It’s unacceptable for Fulham to treat Broja like this. At this point it’s better Chelsea just recalls him immediately but they probably want to pocket that 4 mill pound fee. Nothing for Broja to do just stay patient and find a club that will trust him next season. He needs to be given a run of games to earn his confidence back, getting peanut playing time ain’t gonna do it.

Albania is not Brazil so the options are limited by nature. Broja might not be great by world football standards but by Albanian standards he is great by default. That's just the level and it used to be a lot worse!
On the ball, Broja is already the best player in the world!
Off the ball, he struggles. Either way, you cannot leave a player with these physical attributes in the stands. Even a few minutes off the bench is enough for him to change the game.
It's sad seeing Broja, Kumbulla, Asllani all share the same fate. Do well at lower levels, get prematurely called up to a big team, get benched (and two of them injured) and waste precious development time.
But Broja is on a whole other class to whatever striker we have
Shameful to read negative comments about AB online from Albanians..
First of all people, not only was the defender grabbing his upper body, but he also made contact with his hip (hip checked him). You cannot do that from behind, throws off the equilibrium and it is a yellow card/penalty 10/10 times!
AB has already carved up the best teams in the world. Tore up EPL 20 years old and almost single-handedly qualified us for the World Cup. With his physical attributes, there is not another player in the world who I would rather have playing for Albania!
AB is not without flaws. He clearly needs to improve off the ball, but to call him an average player is absurd. Wherever he goes, Broja stands out from the rest and don’t take it from me, even teammate Raheem Sterling said it while they were both at Chelsea. This is the best young man to ever put on our shirt, and we will not get another like him in a long time, if ever.
Albania is very lucky to have AB! Only player on the team who has put a huge smile on my face over and over again in such a short career!
