National team captain Berat Gjimshiti said that Albania could try to become the first team to score against England in World Cup qualifiers when they face each other on Sunday at "Air Albania".
"The important thing is that we play well and since England haven't conceded a single goal so far, why not be the first to score them," the captain said at the press conference.
"It will be a match like all the qualifiers. We will go out on the field and give our best. We have reached the play-offs, but it is an important match. We will give everything on the field to make it difficult for our opponent."
I don't know the statistics. I think match by match. It's good when you look at the statistics for a win. We have an opponent who plays to win. We have confidence and we will give everything to make it difficult for them. With our weapons, I believe we will have a good match tomorrow.
It's not just about me stopping Harry Kane. Everyone has a problem with Kane. We will defend as a team and attack as a team. Everyone will give everything. They haven't conceded a goal, but we hope to score tomorrow.
Of course we are thinking about the play-offs. For now let's focus on England and watch the draw. We can learn something from big national teams like England.
I don't know if we are the best defense in the history of Albania. This is judged from the outside. I can't say that. We have a very good organization in the National Team. It doesn't matter who plays. We have increased the quality. It's not just the defense, but the whole team defends.
"Harry Kane moves a lot and doesn't stay close to the defence. He's technically strong and has quality. It's a difficult game to play against him. Even if Foden plays, the quality is there. We have to be careful and talk a lot."
