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!
Horrendous performance from Daku should have been a hat trick at least
He misses two open play goals against only the keeper before scoring and one after
Manaj is better than him ATM that's the bitter truth
Daku is a bit of a donkey for sure. His scoring record in Russia is pretty bad.
But..... for a team like Albania his physical characteristics and aggression doesn't grow on trees. You need players who can win duels with defenders. Out of the strikers only he and Broja can do that.
Rey Vrioni scored again.... but there is no way you look at this goal and believe it translates to international.. Who tf is leaving him wide open in the box like that? Not even Faroes

I saw the goal and thought the same thing. There is no way he gets that space v the Euro teams, and even if he does won’t handle the pressure to score. The striker position is made more complicated than it should be. It’s Broja first, Daku second. Cika will be in the Euros and will probably get some minutes, but he’s gotta retire from the nt after the Euros. Post Euros we’ve got the Shpendi brothers and even Cuni who should be ahead of Manaj.
He is a good player, he is just very lazy and therefore isn't very effective for us as we don't create many good chances, you have to work for them. The most frustrating part is he can be so much better when he runs and works hard for the team.
The reality is though come next summer he is probably going to sell at double figures, especially if he comes to the euros.

Nah teams with money are not stupid like that. Scouting is too advanced nowadays.
But you're right that Manaj needs the whole team to work for him to get easy chances and that's not realistic for Albania. He's actually a lot like Hamdi Salihi. I think he's best suited for the top clubs of small leagues like Qarabag, Partizan Belgrade, etc.
