Might be the greatest Albanian-born player on top of that

I think it's so strange to call it nationality-born. Wouldn't it make more sense if that word was related to the place of birth?

English makes no sense sometimes.

Isn't he Swiss born?

[–] The-Last-Bullet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh shit, yeah thought he was born in Kosovo like Shaqiri

That's Broja bruh. But fr at least on a potential level Broja is unlike nothing that came from Albania. Whether he can translate that to efficiency and a good career is diff thing

[–] elivel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

technically both were not "born" in Albania.

As much as I think Broja has high potential, he's 22 and struggles to get minutes for Chelsea (amongst injuries and other things). At 22 Xhaka was cooking for Monchengladbach and one of the most promising midfielders from the Bundesliga, plus his record for Switzerland is very respectable. Broja still has a long way to go
