What’s funny about some of the Albanian clubs President, makes everyone wonder. In a country were poverty has captured the majority of population, a President of the team Gramozi, offers 2.5 million Euro to the Boss of Real Madrid FC, so his club Gramozi of Erseke can play a “luxirous” friendly. Well nothing is wrong with that, but the problem is somewhere else. After a disaster situation during the match, the power goes off on the Stadium and both teams had to wait 90 minutes for the match to restore, so real can win the trophy, with captain Raul raising the Cup with none of the players from either team on the celebration.

Then the magic starts, as Taçi asked all the Gramozi players not to exchange jerseys with the Real Madrid players, due to the lack of short quantity of equipments. A memorable match for the players of gramozi and they are not able to exchange the shirts, because the owner has no money to pay 1000 USD for the uniforms, but he has 2.5 million euros to throw away for nothing.

As we move forward, in Erseke it did snow all last days of the weekend, prior to the match of kategoria Superiore, Gramozi-Apollonia and there was no special equipment, whatsoever for the workers and helpers to take away the 30-40 cm of snow so the pitch can be in safe condition for the players to play. No snow blowers nor snow plow, but shovels and will barrels. Well, we have a president that pays a multimillion Euros for a “fun” match and he can't effort to buy a snow blower, snow remover and snow plow.

Well no surprise. This is the life Albanian club Presidents live. Let’s show off in public and let our players starve and freeze. With this type of mentality and thinking nothing will go forward, nothing will move towards introduction of Albanian soccer in Europe.

It’s shame for the game, but that’s reality
