Favoured to qualify over Santa Coloma.. lost.

Favoured to qualify over Larne.. lost.
Daja played whole campaign as pussy, against Santa Coloma was playing on extra time for penalties and same thing did also against Larne on extra time. Ballkani was so lucky in their draw, never had easier path and Daja failed to reach groupstage. It was mistake from Ballkani they didn't sack Daja after humiliating loss against Santa Coloma.

I don't think Daja can do very much with almost a new starting eleven. Ballkani should've bought better players with all the money they got from selling their players

Daja is dogmatic manager, he has just one way of playing football, so many quality players couldn't integrate on his system because of Daja stuborness, same thing happened also at Partizani and Tirana when Daja was managing them. Ballkani players are good enough to beat the likes of Santa Coloma or Lairne, he got the flowers when he qualified Ballkani for groupstage and now should take responsibility for the failure.

Partizani and Tirana are difficult clubs to manage, they're run amateurishly.

Daja's style works and has brought Albanian & Kosovan club football it's best achievements ever. Why do you ignore the fact that Ballkani sold to many players and bought average ones?

Daja didn't build Ballkani, when he was appointed he had best team on Kosovo, he deserves credit for achievements on Europe but Krasniqi, Rrahmani, Gripshi, Korenica, Zyba, Dellova, Thaci were part of Ballkani before Daja arrived. His dogmatic style of play makes impossible for many quality players to adapt on his system and it's worldwide known that Daja wants to have a saying for every signing that is made, that was his issue with Halili at Tirana and that was his conflict with Olsi Rama at Partizani. Average players were signed for Ballkani with Daja approval, in end of last season Daja contract with Ballkani expired so why he renewed after players were sold? We can make excuses but Daja is responsible for not being able to build a squad capable beating Santa Coloma and Lairne, if Malisheva loses to those teams should be considered humiliation.

Albanian european campain is done tonight after the elemination of Drita against Legia... The biggest regret i guess would be Egnatia who were on the verge of passing through against Borac in CL and then being beaten up by some random icelandic team in Conference.

Decic were also unlucky to be kicked out of penalty shootout against HJK..

A mix of regrets and unluck for some albanian teams, at some points the draw was tough for teams like Llapi who had to face Wisla in Europa League and then Brondby in Conference...

Borac is a good team..

If not for late penalty, they eliminate Ferencvaros and qualify for UEL.

Vikingur Reykjavik is also an OK team. They tied Malmo and beat Lech Poznan in 2022-23.

Both those teams were favoured to qualify over Egnatia..

Most disappointing was Ballkani who went in as favourite over Santa Coloma and Larne.
