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!

say what you want but that goal was pure hustle and classic poaching on the part of Lenjani. Lenjani is by far our biggest offensive threat erratic as he may be. The fact that we're discussing Lenjani vs. Roshi to determine who's a bigger threat goes to show how much shit we are.

Not saying Roshi will ever not be a failure at club level, but we've seen him take on defenders time and time again. Lenjani has better technique, but Roshi's speed and athleticism are at a top level.
Against Romania or Armenia, I think guys like Gashi could work better, but against France/Switzerland he's a guaranteed starter. And I judge wingers by assists/dribbles rather than fluke goals.
It's funny we shit on Balaj for his fluke goals, but for Lenjani they count
Roshi cannot dribble to save his life, his only advantage is his lightning speed which is very important in games where we sit very deep and counter (Portugal and Denmark). If he could dribble he'd be an undisputed starter. nobody in that team can dribble tbh.

Balaj has 1, Lenjani has 3. That is a big difference. It is 3 times Balaj's goals. Especially in our squad where the top scorer has 4, Lenjani's 3 is a lot.
The only time i remember Roshi taking a player on was Balaj's assist and maybe at the end vs Portugal. If Roshi is a player who takes defenders on then i am baffled.
As for Gashi against weaker teams then i think that is not a good idea, against Qatar and Luxemburg he was awful, he had countless chance vs Qatar and missed all. I really do not like him, and atleast with Roshi i always have hope he may use his speed at one moment and do something, with Gashi i just want him off the pitch.
Balajs one fluke goal lenjani could never dream to score and outside of lenjanis goal vs Austria . The Denmark one was just lucky as shit deflection off a defender and and the Qatar one even you could have scored. And roshi looks to take defenders on with his speed every time he touches the ball. He is not a good dribbler but neither is lenjani.
I'm not saying lenjani should be able to score a goal like balajs cuz at the end of the day he's a fullback but it just shows how a fluke goal cannot define you as a player. If it was like that salihi would be ibra level

You and ledzep suddenly decided to say that Roshi was our best attack without any backing.
Lenjani has been as good if not better. He has one goal and one assist to his name for these qualifiers, while Roshi has two assists. Nothing suggests Roshi is our best attack.
All this athleticism/speed bullshit does nothing for me as long I don't see goals and assists. Things that an attacking player is supposed to provide.
