He’s been taking all Inter crosses from both sides and two goals came from his crosses. Inter will be playing in Serie A, Italian Cup and Champions League. Inzaghi said that Asllani can even play alongside Brozovic which means he’ll play 20-30 games this season. There is a lot of hype around him and considering his age he can improve a lot. Raising expectations althrough counterproductive in some sports it’s good for his developement. He’s the future of our NT midfield.

Albania has had Asllani and Bajrami before. They were called Lala and Skela. Never could take us to that next level though.
For as decent as those 2 were, I don't remember Lala getting signed to Inter at 20 or at any point in his career and Skela was a journeyman.

Give these guys the next 10 years and you'll see we're gonna achieve more than we ever have and legitimately this time instead of relying on Serbs to be animals.

It’s fascinating to see someone like Asllani go from being a relatively uknown to a potential key player for Inter in two seasons. It’s even more fascinating that he was never given a look for the youth teams and Bushi never started him until he was getting minutes for Empoli.

Imagine playing a guy like Dobra or Celhaku over him. Yikes.

Tbh he went from youth football to serie a starter in a matter of months. Just skipped the u21s like Kumbulla did .

Albania youth selections are bad. Most of the kids they recruit never become professionals and they often ignore those who do.

They even ignored Uzuni and he was in their backyard. Myrto has 0 caps for Albania u17 and u19.

A player to potentially keep half an eye on:

https://www.transfermarkt.us/jason-ceka ... ler/390661

He was a stat machine in the lower divisions. Got an assist in his first 2nd Bundesliga game. More importantly, he's a winger..

There are no highlights of him on youtube but appears to be a small, speedy winger...

Lala and Skela lacked experience of warming the bench at Inter, so they must not have been as good as these new bonafide superstars.

Albania had broken top 40 before the Serbia result was even counted. This group today could not break their way out of a wet paper bag.

Inter haven’t even started their season 😭😭😭😭😭

Bro being a bench player at a elite team is better than starting for relegation scrapping sides . Zinchenko is Ukraines best player by far but has barely started any games for City . And Asllani is 20 you fool …

Got to keep an eye on Cuni too. He’s more like roshi but raised in Germany . Scored 4 the other day , on loan to a 3.Liga German side , so if he continues to bag goals that’s another guy we should bring in .

Try Shabani once he gets over this ACL too
