Albanian National Team [General topic]

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!

Everyone talking shit about Asani. We just need his left leg. If he can score one goal out of nowhere which he has done many times he can do fuck all during the game.

I don't blame albanian players as Gruda and Hasaj, just look what kind of coverage they get in albanian portals and just compare what kind of treatment croatian or serbian players when they reject their national teams.

This Italian team is very beatable, no standout player and Chiesa is a shadow of his former self.

Glad we don't have albanian coaches who are friends to Cikalleshi and co.

It's a shame because they are misinforming the public who don't follow the sport too much.

ok I can see the argument about Uzuni. It's fair.... but them complaining about Cikalleshi and Bare is beyond sad. And it's because they are friends with them because they've had them on the show before.

I don't remember worse Italy on paper than this one, even Italy of Ventura which failed to qualify had more "worldclass" players on the roster so this is why i "fear" most, if we get result it won't be because they underestimated us. Donnarumma, Bastoni, DiMarco and Barella are their best players but none of them is nowhere near level of players Italy had as Buffon, Chiellini, Nesta, Bonnucci, Pirlo etc etc. They don't even have "scary" striker on their roster.

Yes Processi Sportiv has more bitches as guests than football experts. Just compare it with Dueli Sportiv

They have a decent midfield and defence for our level. Hopefully we'll surprise them cause they historically don't do well on their first game.

These journalists and analysts tend to be very protective of non-diaspora players. If you wouldn't know any better you would think guys like Cikaleshi and balaj were world class athletes instead of the border amateurs they actually were. To them guys like Cikalehsi, Roshi, Trashi, Bare, etc, should all be starting.

But i am still surprised that Cikaleshi has been dropped. If he wasn't dropped for Broja in those must win games in 2021-22 I would have figured he'd be starting until he could physically not. I guess Silvinho has built up some goodwill where he can override the FSHF clan in calling up players and starting 11 choices.
