Them being slavs has nothing to do with developing good players in this time and age. They might have had a better system on youth development in the 20th century, but that's no excuse as to why Albania is terrible in developing decent footballers nowadays.
It's the same with North Macedonia, Slovenia and now Kosovo(after being accepted in intl. federations), smaller populations, but are far more superior than Albania in sports.
It has everything to do with it because tradition/culture/DNA travels along time. It doesn't go away.
It explains why Kosovars were and still are horrific at sports all the other Yugoslavs thrived at: basketball, volleyball, handball, waterpolo, tennis, etc.. Kosovo has produced 0 top athletes at any of those sports even though they lived in a super pro-sport regime. That's shocking.
And don't give me that "we were held back" myth. Fadil Vokrri proved it was possible to make it. It was a socialist regime where everyone was equal and sports were a top priority unlike in Albania.
Btw what sports is Kosovo good at right now since you want to talk about present... female judo??? LMFAO
Dude, you must be very ignorant on the Kosovo matter! Albanians had barely any rights until the 1974 federal constitutional changes which were taken away in 1989. Fadil Vokrri and the Prekazi brothers are rare case.
Kosovo with its diaspora is proving that tradition/ culture/ DNA is actually bullshit and a lame excuse for football. You also have micro countries like Iceland that seem to have found the recipe on how to develope continually talented players. You're making it sound like Albanians are mentally and physically inferior to other Europians
.
Judo is very popular all over the world, and being world class at it its absolutely impressive. Wtf is waterpolo, lmao?!
