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!
Is Mavraj your cousin or what
A player who was half his career at Bundesliga 2 and the other half at relegating Bundesliga sides better than a player who is the best defender at a top 5 Serie A side which every year makes significant runs at European competitions
Mavraj was great for us(Albania level)
Djimsiti is a top 10-15 defender at the world atm

lol Mavraj seemed like Maldini because the previous CBs before him were Admir Teli, Debatik Curri, Nevil Dede...
Didn't even Dallku slot into CB a couple of times?

Yes... Those were the dark ages.
It was so bad that even Andi Lila felt like a big upgrade lol... and finally Hysaj was the upgrade over Lila.

Best defender in the world?? Djimsiti is not even the best defender on our team! That’s Ardian Ismajli
Djimsiti is soft! Listed 6’3” but have you ever seen him score with his head? Buddy was losing aerial duels in the box to Moldovans half his size. He is one of the main reasons our aerial game and set pieces are so pathetic..
Mavraj had more heart both on and off the field, where he spoke his truth regardless of who didn’t like it! He was one of the main reasons Albania cracked top 25 while beating the best teams in Europe (Portugal, France) holding them scoreless.

Who Djimsiti beat?
We own our qualifying group for the first time ever. It's not Gjimshiti's job to score and beat teams, his job is to keep a clean sheet and he did against Poland and Czhechia, at home, our direct rivals.
Djimsiti is the most professional Albanian player and you can see it in every NT match. He's not perfect but he's very stable and consistent compared to the others.
Asllani plays for the biggest club but he still too young and needs to grow physically and mentally that's why he barely plays. Ismajli too error prone, injuries have killed Broja and Kumbulla, Hysaj is very washed, Mitaj is not even a starter in Russia, etc..
Djimsiti is literally the only player that you can trust.

Polonia dhe Cekia te duken nje lloj ty sikur te shtypesh Portugalin dhe Francen?

Djimsiti is just as error prone as Ismajli..
Did you see how he passed it straight to Thorsteinsson 1-1 in Iceland?
Djimsiti and friends were eating 3-4 goals a game against any decent opponent before Ramadani took over in midfield. There is no comparison between him and Mavraj..
I do think Mavraj's performance during that 2016 campaign was better than any campaign Gym had or any defender we've had. I remember him carrying us in that Armenia match on one leg (after his father died) which is one of the best performances in NT history. He never really got the credit he deserved as Cana would always get the praise despite him being washed up by the time that campaign started and a liability.
