Remember the name: Armando Broya - The Albanian Diamond | Israel today

2022-06-10T12:06:00.668Z


Born in England, he excelled in the Chelsea youth department and is considered Albania's great hope for the World Cup in 2026 • The talented striker is waiting for the Israeli team tonight


Armando Broya recovered from Corona and yesterday held a full training session ahead of the game against Israel, in which he is expected to take part.

This news is not particularly good for Alon Hazan's team, as it is the biggest star in Albanian football today, but it's great news for many clubs across Europe.

According to reports, the teams interested in acquiring the 20-year-old striker who belongs to Chelsea are West Ham, Newcastle, Everton, Napoli and Inter, whose representatives will most likely watch tonight's game.

The list is probably longer, and not in vain.

Broya was born in England.

He grew up in Berkshire, which is a 30-minute drive from London, and at a very young age joined Tottenham's children's department.

When he was 9 he moved to Chelsea, and went through all the stages of development as a footballer in the young divisions of the Blues.

There are stories about Broya who from the first moment had something special in him.

One of his coaches at a young age limited him to three touchdowns on the ball so he would not pass them all, and all the other coaches attest to an exceptionally competitive guy.

"No matter how many good players there were around him, he always managed to be the best of them all," recalls one of them.

As the son of Albanian parents, who as can be understood adored Diego Armando Maradona, Broya very quickly became a player who generated interest in the Albanian association.

Enzo Eliaj, the representative of the Albanian national team in England, was asked to watch him play at the age of 15 and determine if he is worth a summons to the national team.

"I can not explain to you how fast he was. Also in running, but mostly in thought," Eliag told The Atlhetic in an article reviewing the player's career.

Of course, at the end of the game, the representative of the Albanian association began a campaign of persuasion that was spread over several months, but ended with Bruya choosing to represent Albania, not England.

In the last two years, the striker has been loaned to Vitesse Arnhem and Southampton, in whose midfield he has scored quite a few goals, and at the same time has become the great hope of Albania.

It premiered in September 2020, and last year scored three goals - all in the World Cup qualifiers.

Englishman with Albanian blood

Broya, who is proud to represent his parents' homeland and recently declared "I am English, but also Albanian with Albanian blood", is today the biggest star of the team.

Local journalists explain that he is like Robert Lewandowski to Poland in terms of interest and ability, and they claim this when the player is only 20 years old.

They expect Broya to take the Albanian team to new heights, and the big dream is the World Cup.

The game against Israel tonight is just the beginning of what should be a very successful story at the end.
