The captain of the national team, Berat Gjimshiti, appeared at the media conference alongside coach Sylvinho, on the eve of the match against Croatia, the second meeting of the EURO 2024 group round for Albania, which will be played this Wednesday at 15:00 at "Volksparkstadion".

Speaking to the media on the eve of this meeting, the Albanian defender said that Croatia is the favorite in this meeting, but added that the mistakes that were made in the challenge with Italy should not be made.

As he returned once again to the loss with Italy, Gjimshiti said that the National Team will play dirty sometimes, considering that the opponent can be stopped with a foul.

How different is Albania from Croatia?

"Croatia is in the role of favorite. I believe it was shown in the match against Italy, when we are facing champions like Italy, every little mistake has an impact. We have to improve those episodes to do better against Croatia."

Have you spoken to Pasalic?

"Not for these last moments, but when we were in the team we joked. What remained in my mind was that he told me that Croatia has never played against Albania, I believe that it will be nice that we will play against and that I will meet him, he is a good boy".

How is the psychological state of the team? 

"It is very important, the psychological state is more important than physical fatigue. I spoke to some players and of course you have to give courage, because we didn't have those expectations against Italy either. Since I have a little more experience and more years than some players, I try to help some of the players who are younger."

We have to understand the pace of the game: "I said after Italy that you have to be a little more intelligent in these types of matches and stop the opponent's pace. You don't just have to be beautiful on the field, you have to be a little dirty and in the end you get what you deserve."

After losing to Spain, Croatia needs points, how do you think they will be against Albania?

"They lost 3-0 against Spain and will definitely be looking for points. It was not easy for them against Spain, just like it was for us against Italy. It will definitely be difficult, as both teams will be asked to do their best, then we will see tomorrow how we will be".
