Albania ended its adventure in this edition of the League of Nations with a 1-2 defeat against Ukraine. After the meeting, coach Sylvinho admitted that he made a mistake in this match, but emphasized that a goal could lift the team to second place in the group.
He said two quick goals killed the game and then it was difficult to get the score back.
" The two quick goals were killers. This also happened to us with the Czech Republic. We have to grow because this is a high level where we play and we have to pick up the pace.
A year ago we won the group as the first and went to the European as a group and today we all made a mistake as a group.
While today we finished the League of Nations, in last place, but one goal decided a lot and we could have finished in second place, but that's how football is. This makes us improve for the future", said Sylvinho.
While the captain Ardian Ismajli, analyzing the 1-2 defeat against Ukraine in Air Albania, stated that the first half was the worst in the last 3 years for the national team.
He asks everyone to take this as a lesson so that it doesn't happen again in the past.
"The first half was the worst match in the last 3 years. We will not always have our own luck. In the second half we had nothing to lose. A very good second half. With 1 point we were in the "play off". We have to learn from this first part, which I am talking about. We must learn from this very big mistake. Fatigue has taken its toll. When you are in front of 20 thousand fans, we should not feel tired. The important thing is that we tried in the second half. We didn't make it, but we can already look forward.
We got the two goals very quickly and fell very badly. It was very difficult, we tried to do our best. In the second half we had nothing left to lose. The worst first half in these 3 years with Albania. We have to learn a lot from this match.
I have the answer for the formation, but I don't want to give it, I am a professional, in the second half everything changed ", said Ismajli.
