Kosova 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!

If only Kosova would have a good and dedicated coach. FFK is stupid for not considering Hasi or Daja for the job!

Muriqi is such a beast. Imagine Cika with that last minute chance.

With the roster Kosova has, Daja would be a fantastic coach. He would make use of their pace and speed. After seeing the work he's done with Ballkani I wish the FSHF hired him instead of the Brazilian.

But the other thing with Kosova is that their roster is so imbalanced. Their midfield is atrocious.

Albanian fans were begging Duka to hire Daja then. He said he was “considering it”.

I feel like Duka just wants to hang out with players he watched on TV

Sylvinho done a fantastic job so far! Why y’all out here throwing shade? :zgerdhimje:

Came in changed to a 4 back formation, benched Bare and inserted Ramadani right off the bat. We have not looked back since!

Give the man a round of applause! Just took a point off Czechia who ran us out the building last time!

Doing the bare minimum after the atrocious job of Reja is not a fantastic job. He's been inherited with probably the most talented roster we've ever had and yet he still manages to start Cikalleshi and Seferi, It took a wonder goal from Bajrami to bail him out.

With the roster we have we should be competing with Czech and Poland. The problem is the bar has been so low for so long that if we don't get embarrassed by any functional team we view it as a success. Lose to Poland 1-0 last year in a must win and it was viewed as a success.

I really don’t get the constant Cikalleshi bashing, we all know he’s past his best. But the reality is until Broja is back there is no other Albanian ST who is guaranteed to be better.

You complain but offer no solutions. Shpendi ? Too young, Daku has been brought in and looked ok, other than that do we really have anyone

Gotta give Sylvinho more credit. He’s only coached 4 games and we’re on the verge of possibly qualifying for our only second Euro ever. The play has improved a lot and we’re creating an identity. Unfortunately Cika and Seferi are part of the squad he inherited so it’s hard to drop them right away but once Broja is back I expect things to get even better particularly in terms of selection.

I think the problem with these journeyman coaches is that they're here for a paycheck and will mostly try to play it safe for that to last! Remember GdB's approach to helping the diaspora kids decide to play for Albania? I had no idea what kind of player Kukeli was before he debuted for Albania and he turned out to be one of a kind for us.

Idriz Voca(starter in Serie B), Zyba, Emërllahu are being overlooked for bench warming cbs for a midfield spot.

The root for all the problems is FFK though, very amateurish approach and terrible coach selection.

Sylvinho has been no different than Reja in offence. Create almost 0 chances, and hope for individual brilliance. We had 1 attempt the entire game yesterday, and it was Bajrami. And not 1 attempt ON TARGET. 1 attempt overall, which was Bajrami. That's horrendous.

Reja's advantage was that he had Broja in good form, but we beat Hungary home/away. Sylvinho hasn't actually accomplished anything like that. Our biggest "win" is a 1-1 draw away at Czech Repubilc.
