Time to remind everyone that our boy Sugar Ray is a certified can crusher! For those that may have forgotten, Ray makes easy work of inferior opponents!

He has registered 6 goals all coming against teams ranked 90th and below (Andorra, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Moldova and San Marino). Get Ray Ray out there and he should do us proud!

Let’s go Albania!

Sylvinho gave chance also to Mehmeti, Muja, Mucolli but it was Asani who capitalised more than anyone else. Players who were left out as Uzuni and Bare, had so many chances in their national team career to perform but they never did it or Cikalleshi you can't compare him with Broja, he never won us games as Broja did in both games with Hungary.

Asani is a special case and not comparable to any other player, with any other coach he might've not been called, Sylvinho called him up trusted him with a starting spot and he repaid his trust with fantastic performances for the NT.

Favoritism was calling Lila over Rashica to Euro 2016 because he was a "team player"
Favoritism is having Cika start all the qualifiers when he clearly can't even hold the ball upfront or win a header against a midget.
Favoritism was calling Balaj years after his Portugal goal.
Asani is one of the few players who deservedly WON his spot at this Euro.

Lila contributed in those qualifiers and was a guaranteed starter for his club. Rashica was an u21 player like Medon Berisha is right now and when he got chances to play in the pre-tournament friendlies he was pretty bad. There is no way Rashica deserved a callup over Lila. You should've used the Veseli over Djimsiti example but even then Djim was a reserve at Atalanta.

Asani favoritism is similar to Balaj favoritism and even much worse. Balaj at least was a full time professional player and the options back then were limited anyway. Asani hasn't kicked a ball since October of 2023.

A lot of fans won't be happy with Asani after the Euros.... I'm just spoiling the inevitable.

Back when Florian Marku was getting ready to take on Chris Kongo, Marku posted a video to his FB of the original faceoff outside of Sky Studios in London.

Armando Broja commented 2 emojis.. got 8 likes.
Jasir Asani commented 2 emojis.. got 58 likes!

I will not forget about this as it left a big impression on me when I first saw it months ago! Just goes to show what Jasir Asani means to Albanians!

Albanians hold Jasir Asani in very high regard for what he accomplished during qualifiers!

Last time Asani kicked a ball was in early October of 2023. His own coach publicly criticized his fitness levels. What is a player like that going to do against Italy, Spain, and Croatia??

It's very unprofessional by Sylvinho to call him up but what's worse is that no Albanian outlet mentions it. They are more worried about their friend Cikalleshi because it hurt his feelings.

I'm no fan of Uzuni cause he's bungled too many open goals for us, but besides his terrible finishing he's actually a decent player otherwise who gives 100%.
The message from Sylvinho is clear..

Your spot is NOT guaranteed no matter
-what club you play for
-what league you play in
-how many minutes you have played for your club
-how many goals/assists you have scored for your club
-how long you have been a part of the NT
-what you have contributed to the NT
-who your friends are

Sylvinho will bring only those who HE believes can give the best performance on the pitch against the given opponents. There is no care in the world about hurt feelings!

While the criticism against Asani is somewhat warranted how can you call that a favoritism callup? Dude literally carried us during the qualifiers and was one of our top 3 players in several games.

It's favoritism because he's getting rewarded for past events not because of what he is right now and his potential of helping the team.

Je i vetmi poster qe vazhdon me te njejten teori qe osht deshmu si gabim sidomos me Ramadanin ka qene kulmi por vazhdon me argumentin e njejte qesharak. Kur Sylvinho e ka ftu Asanin, ti e ke kritiku ftesen e ke pretendu qe Asani osht amater, ai e ka deshmu ne fushe me gollat vendimtar qe ja ke fut kot edhe na kualifiku ne EURO's qe Sylvinho ka te drejte.
