Asani right now is GOAT for albanian national team, he was decisive for our qualification on EURO's. Dallku made false claim and you guys are commenting as it was fact, Asani played on last game of season for his club, they reached their seasonal objective to qualify for Asia Champions League "qualifiers". New championship starts on 1 March on South Korea so he will have enough weeks to reach optimal for EURO's.

Outside of scoring Asani, was easily best players in at least two of our qualifiers and top 3 in pretty all the games he played. Not even remotely close to Balaj.

3 go ahead super goals in Tirana against the best teams in the group, 3 big assists. Nobody has ever preformed like this in a qualifiers..

Balaj still has the biggest goal ever but Asani was MVP of the whole group!

He keeps scoring amazing goals, also at the same time he can even do much better than he's doing. He's being greedy and keeping the ball unnecessarily a lot, losing it, when he'll do better if he lets his teammates carry the ball.

This is his 17th goal in all competitions this season (13 league, 4 cup). 3/3 penalties.

Most of the goals are quality strikes, very few bad goals in there. The key thing is he's showing what he can do when given time, he's rarely been trusted as a player in his career.

He needs to now improve in working with his teammates and passing the ball, but he has clearly made a huge improvement in shooting and finishing, so many incredible goals this season.

I hope Sylvinho doesn't get influenced by stats only and watches the games.

Manaj in this game won 5 duels out of 17.. ! (sofascore)

Lost the ball 22 times..!! Got only a 6.9 rating despite scoring.

Yes he can score free kicks and penalties because goalkeepers there are shit but from open play he's a liability.

Nah hes only taken 3 pens this season and scored all 3 of them. Been very good from 'open play' and had great performances against all big clubs he played.

You know that's not true.

If you were to watch match highlights of him (like the Muci video above) it would be mainly Manaj losing the ball nearly all the time. Sofascore confirms his performances.

His goals and especially game don't translate to higher levels. Even Cikalleshi doesn't lose the ball so easily.
