[Int. Friendly] Spain vs. Albania - 26/03/2022 - 19:45

[CanaYouDoIt]

He's spent most his career playing the Belgium, Italian and Spanish leagues. Not a bum but a guy who's played in professional leagues his whole career

Exactly. Someone with that kind of experience is not an amateur. He might not have the legs or the mental tangibles to do it often but the talent and experience is still there.

He doesn’t realise trying to make that argument hurts his position but that’s the type of guy he is

[Princ]

Your position is destroyed!

North Macedonia just knocked out the 6th ranked European Champions with 2/15 top league players (one is the goalie), and a bunch of them teammates of Ramadani.

[CanaYouDoIt]

You quite literally make no sense it’s unbelievable.

[Plako]

Alexander “The Great” Trajkovski scored one of the best goals I have seen with my eyes last night.

Valued only at €350k, it is not the first time this “semi-professional” scrub from the Saudi Arabian league has ripped the net of Italy in their house. He tied the match 1-1 back in 2017 WCQ, taking a point home to Macedonia.

Alex shows up when it matters!

That's a former Serie A player with a lot of games for Palermo. It's like Pandev. Too old to do it consistently but the individual quality can strike at any moment.

If he was a career Saudi Arabia player he wouldn't do shit.

Yeah, Alioski moved from Leeds to Saudi for more money too last season. He's definitely quality.

Alexander “the Great” Trajkovski played 2086 minutes through 2 seasons in the Serie A half a decade ago. He scored same number of goals as Manaj (4), in double the playing time.

2020-21: Segunda Division 29 bench, 2 lineups, 0 goals
2021-22: Danish Superliga 7 bench, 3 lineups, 1 goal
2021-22: Saudi Arabian league 4 bench, 2 lineups, 0 goals

Wdym ? Albania 1-0 Portugal in the same manner, except that Portugal created less that day

That was 8 years ago.

We have since then not won a single point vs any top team, a single
In fact, don't think we've even scored a goal against a top team in a competitive fixture in 8 years. Lol

Lets look at the games in that time we've both played against "big" teams like it matters anyway.

NM:
2014 - 5-1 L Spain
2015 - 1-0 L Spain
2016 - 4-0 L Spain , 3-2 L Italy
2017 - 2-1 L Spain, 1-1 Italy
2018 - 0 good teams
2019 - 0 good teams
2020 - 0 good teams
2021 - 2-1 W Germany , 3-0 L Netherlands, 4-0 L Germany
2022 - 1-0 W Italy

10 G - 2 W 1 D 7 L

AL:
2014: 1-1 D France, 1-0 L Italy
2015:1-0 W France, 1-0L Portugal
2016: 2-0L France, 2-0 L Spain
2017:2-0L Italy, 3-0 L Spain, 2-0 L Italy
2018: 0 good teams
2019: 4-1 L / 2-0 L France
2020: 0 Good teams
2021: 2-0/5-0 L England
2022: Spain tomorrow (L)

14 G - 1 W 1D 12 L

Don't count the friendlies and we have 0W 0D 12L.

We can't score any goals against good teams. And it is a problem because you don't qualify without at least winning a few points from good teams.

If we stole a win from England we come 2nd. Hungary went to their turf and won a point. But it was impossible for us. We have a problem against good teams.

Other teams such as Hungary and NM are around our level generally but have much greater upset potential.

They were the ones who came 2nd in their group and then beat EURO winners Italy to get to the playoff final.

Not us.

They had an easy group . Not us.

[Dallku]

Cikalleshi-Broja is a dogshit partnership. They played together against England and couldn't touch the ball one time.

Broja needs a Che Adams type of partner. Someone who runs non stop. For Albania only Uzuni can do that on top.
