Albanians abroad

Gjasula has been turned into a CB after his coach realized that running in midfield is important.

He could be an alternative to Kumbulla for that center CB spot. He sure can't play on the sides because he's too slow and would get shredded. He has the physical characteristics of a traditional CB but does he have the mentality and tactical awareness? His team conceded 3 last game.

Asllani has been turned into the mascot after the coach realized that he is not actually Iniesta..

I say Kristjan should get rewarded with a starting spot in a must win game at Israel. Who is with me?

Asllani played so well in preseason and he’s not even getting subbed on. What’s with these coaches ?

And yes he should start, anyone who questions that is a fucking moron

He realized that by giving him 20 garbage minutes this entire season?

He ran the most kilometers per game last season in Serie A.

So he's a mascot for a big club which 99% of players can only dream of...

So is Tedi Cara in better form than Armando Broja because he scored a goal for Partizani and also plays more minutes than him?

Form comparison can only be applied if players are at a similar level. Based on that logic you can claim someone from Sunday league has better form than a professional benchwarmer.

Except that Albanian players ARE at a similar level, excluding Broja. Not only in my opinion, but this has been repeated by the coaching staff as well.

Maybe after reading Albania Team FB all summer, fanboys will believe that Asllani is Iniesta. I assure you that nobody serious sees it this way..

You can't sit here and tell me when you watch Ramadani (who does) and Asllani you think they are at the same level.

Or if you watch Djimsiti vs Dermaku
Or if you watch Hysaj vs Doka

There are levels to this, all these quotes from mediocre players in totally the wrong context mean nothing to me.
