2021 European Club Campaign

Should be a good experience builder for Tirana.. they are pretty good technically but Zvezda is the bigger, faster, stronger team and their conditioning was much better as well.

[Dallku]

Based on this performance I'd imagine they have decent chances to qualify for the EL but they do need a little luck with the draw.

[Princ]

Let’s not forget that Skenderbeu lost big time to Dinamo Zagreb back in 2015 before knocking them out in 2017. Tirana gained experience today but it was not by bad luck that they lost.

They NEED to fix some obvious problems.
For starters, Halili needs to bring in some size as a bunch of midgets will only take you so far.

Tbh, I'd rather play technical football with midgets, than anti-football like we usually do where we can't string a few passes together. Looking at highlights, RS only went through on luck. That Muci strike at least should have easily gone in.

Michael Ngo could helped Tirana immensely on defending set pieces. Attacking trio Torrasa,Cale and especially Cobbina would been more dangerous because they would had more spaces with Ngo. Who decided to not keep him is moron, that fucker participated on almost 50% of goals of the team with assist or goal so clearly he will ask more money. They choose to spend money on the macedonian defenders and Avdijaj . Tirana missed a great opportunity but kudos to Egbo for the great job he did with Tirana and especially with youngsters as Çelhaka and Muçi. I think will be hard for Tirana to let this loss behind back and win next game but it depends a lot from the draw.

Those midgets cost us the game today, and are liable to cost us more games in the future, black and white.. Tirana did create scoring chances but so did Zvezda, who was simply the better team on the night.

Tirana played with a big heart but the size, strength, conditioning and experience of the opponent was too much to overcome.

I don't think Ngo would have helped Tirana today. He's just a big strong forward and if there isn't any service he won't do anything. Muci is probably just as good as him. Tirana just didn't have anyone who looked comfortable in the final third besides Torossa. Batha is a pitbull defensive midfielder and Celhaka is another holding midfielder who doesn't look too comfortable with the ball (good defensively tho). Cale is whatever and Cobinnah is obviously a flop. Someone like Cobinnah is so big and athletic that you wonder why he's playing in Albania then when he's near goal he blasts the ball to Elbasan and you think that he's exactly where he needs to be. Someone like Abazaj would have been a good signing for them who would have gave them a dangerous player on the wings.

Overall Tirana looked good defensively besides that one blunder. I think Tirana was surprised they were playing so well and were just happy with that. Then once they conceded everyone knew it was going to be over. I'm surprised Red Star looked that bad.

True. Tirana just doesn't have any European experience. It took Skenderbeu like 5 years of getting knocked out before they qualified. You can tell they were just happy beating Dinamo Tbsili and accepted the eventual lost against Red Star because they were underdogs.

Oh shit, Teuta with the early goal. Up 1 - 0.

I really hope they pull off a win. I can't stand Beitar and their fans.
