Ardian Bajrami's selection for Switzerland has once again opened the "old wound" of rejection by the national team. The defender, who was part of Silvinjo's list, decided not to continue with Albania, even though he had played three friendlies with the first team.
But let's stop at some other names who have refused to wear the red and black jersey. Among the most famous is Mërgim Mavraj, who at the beginning of his career was waiting for an invitation from Germany and refused the late Josip Kuzhe. Then, after 2012, he joined De Biazi's national team and was part of "EURO 2016". In 50 matches with Albania, Mavraj scored three goals and held the captain's armband for some time.
The list continues with Elvis Kabashi, Mërgim Brahimi or Fiorin Durmishaj, who also saw their future with the jersey of teams like Switzerland, Italy and Greece. As a talented player, part of Juventus, Kabashi was also preferred by Albania, but he also refused to join, hoping for Italy, but that did not happen, writes "Shqiptarja.com".
Other players have also preferred to play with the big national teams, such as Adnan Januzaj and Shkodran Mustafi, but there are currently those who continue to hesitate, like Brajan Gruda, who also sees his future with Germany.
