Do you see the pattern with strikers like him, Uzuni, Cikalleshi, etc only scoring against these kind of opponents? It's because that's their club level as well. Basically it's all second division level so when they play against the Moldovas they are in their comfort zone.

No matter what anybody says, your club level always translates to the NT. Players play exactly how their club level situation is.
Cikalleshi scored at Poland and Czechia..

Uzuni scored at Spain..

Manaj is at his peak now and just gave assist on game winning goal at Ukraine..

AB has had his success coming off bench against tired opponent..

Who he scored against as starter?

Clear pattern with AB club career last few years..

Team takes a chance with Broja -> Team gives him minutes off bench -> Broja impresses in cameos against tired opponents -> Broja earns chance to start -> Broja starts but can’t cut it -> Broja relegated back to bench -> Broja moves to lesser team

and repeat..

Moral of story..

Broja is a great super sub!

As Edi Reja first said, Broja is more effective when opponent is tired..

I've seen countless players' careers ruined by injuries, so I'm not sure where Broja will end up. But without injuries, I have no doubt his potential is to be a striker at a top club like Chelsea.

When it comes to potential, I have not seen another player with more.

I think there is just something missing inside Broja..

His conditioning has always needed work and that is probably a big reason why he does not succeed as a starter.

Desire, determination, grit, a sense of responsibility, etc are just not there.

In the 2nd half, opponent tires so the game opens up and he can take advantage off the bench..

Even if this is true it's irrelevant... because the other strikers are not effective when the opponent is tired or not tried. So Boja has to play by default.

Arijon Ibrahimovic played today for Bayern in the Bundesliga. I heard rumors he applied for albanian citizenship. Could he be someone for the NT? For germany he has Musiala, Wirtz and also Gruda in front of him.

It’s probable that he will join Albania, reports in the last months have indicated so. He’s more likely to join than Gruda, we’ll have to wait till the March games to know.

Uzuni 2 goals that’s 11 in 1157 minutes for him..

Lecce was tied 1-1 at Roma until the coach subbed out 3 players at halftime including Ramadani. 😂😂😂

Ate 3 unanswered goals 2nd half and lost 4-1..
