Albania at EURO 2016

[Dallku]

The Avdijaj thing is fake. I dm'd Redi Jupi on Instagram and he told me that Fshf is not interested in him anymore. He knows because he talks to De Biasi everyday.

Looks like it's just journalists trying to fill their newspapers and sites.

And if you don't believe me here's DB's confirming it in today's press conference: http://sportal.al/shqiperi/kuqezi/item/ ... ijajn.html

De Biasi, "His Santity" has the privilege and the power to do that ! Avdiaj's personality doesn't fit the YesMan player DB asks for , Manaj reacting to De Biasi's arrogant statement at processi sportiv was the last thing i could've expected from him but that was at the wrong moment so he backed up .Today FSHF appointed Padovan as chieff of marketing , the entire fa will be run by Italians very soon so don't expect any attractive football in future. May aswell see 10 CB's parking the bus. Albania is training the future managers by the Coverciano experts while Kosova is training theirs with German DFB experts. Future will say if De Biasi is wrong about Avdiaj....

Honestly, we're not built to be a technical squad and a defensive mentality is what we need at the moment to be competitive. While Di Biasi has taken this strategy to the max you can't deny the results speak for themselves. High pressing, counter attacking football is what we should aspire to play as.

But that being said Avdijaj should be getting capped. I've advocated for him since June 2014 call ups but if the guy doesn't accept a call up can't do anything about it. I'm not sure if he's the talent everyone thinks he is.

I wouldn't look too much in the appointment. I'm not sure a marketing expert has anything to do with the style of play and that's more of a reflection of the coach and youth set up

Results do not speak for themselves. Everyone is really being blinded by some flukes. We achieved 3 'real' wins this campaign and that has been achieved before. 2 came against bottom team Armenia (one against 10 men where we were actually losing and the other against a Armenia side with nothing to play for). A The other came away in Portugal, which was actually one of the best performances we put in. The three points we were given in Serbia eneded Serbia's hopes of qualifying and sealed a top 3 finish for us.

With the list De Biasi put out today i really do wonder if not qualifying would of helped our team more than qualifying has. It seems De Biasi has a fixed side and he doesn't even bother watching other players or he honestly is just geting paid and doesn't give a f*** about the National side. Ajeti has had no club for 6 months, called up. Cikaleshi has not scored for 3 months, called up (and will somehow start). Lenjani is not even on the bench most games, called up (i would probably call him up too). Lilaj should not be in the national team either. Rashica who plays every game for his club in a decent league at 19 years old and has 3 goals and 4 assists in 11 games, is not called up. This is a friendly, maybe it would be understandable if these were qualifiers and he didn't call up new players but this is a friendly where new players should be tested out as there is no point in seeing the same shit you see every time, plus Rashica is better then all of the foward player we have at the moment.

Out of the six attackers we have: Balaj, Sadiku, Cikaleshi, Roshi, Lenjani, Gashi, only Balaj plays for his club regularly. We have a team which is built up of bench players with a weak mentality and that is why we are honestly going no where. Cana at 32 is one of the few players we have which consistently starts for club.

List that's called up for the friendlies. Surprise call up is Frederick Veseli, does FSHF still think he plays for Manchester United?

[Genti]

Wtf is Sabien Lilaj doing on this national team? Also another game, yet no Avdijaj call up... Rei Manaj ok but hes not Rashica. Pretty pointless friendlies imo unless DB tries some new offensive tactics.

[Plako]

Disappointed that Rashica was not called.

Very disappointed. Makes me think DB has no plans for him for the Euros which is a shame because he's probably better than anything we have. Hopefully, i'm wrong. Rashica and Roshi on the wings can be a counter attacking dream for Albania...


Here's the list for Kosova's squad. Should be a good scouting match as some of Kosova's defenders are better than the backups we have.

Samir Ujkani
Visar Bekaj
Loret Sadiku
Ilir Berisha
Avni Pepa
Alban Pnishi
Fanol Perdedaj
Leart Paqarada
Denis Markaj
Enis Alushi
Eroll Zejnullahu
Hekuran Kryeziu
Bernard Berisha
Valmir Sylejmani
Besar Halimi
Bersant Celina
Mergim Brahimi
Shpetim Hasani
Elbasan Rashani

Lilaj is a stupid call up. Not because he's a superliga player but because he's been tested for the past 4 years in friendlies and hasn't made an impression. He's also at the point of his career where's peaked and it's just a waste of time. Test someone new...
