Albania was defeated 0-2 by England in the final match of the 2026 World Cup qualifying phase, with the Rossoneri having already secured the play-off phase.

National team coach Sylvinho, in a statement to DigitAlb, analyzed the match and stated that he had not studied any of the potential play-off opponents.

"I'm very proud of my players. We played a very strong game against a team that is aiming for the World Cup final. It's a difficult team to draw against."

We have improved the team. It is a great job done by the staff and the players. If you look at it, England has changed since the first game. It is a team that has not yet conceded a goal.

It's England that doesn't allow you to react. It's a team that if you open the game after conceding one goal, you can concede three more.

It seems like there's not much time with the National Team, but time flies. I still can't think and we have to see the draw this week to see who we'll be up against.

It is true that there have been difficult moments. The team we see now is the work of me, Dorivé and Zabaleta. There have also been big changes. There have been changes in positions and new players. That is why it has been a difficult period.

I don't know any teams from the second pot. By now I'm used to analyzing the teams we've had to deal with in this group.

"The number? No, the player is never a problem, but a solution. I haven't spoken to the doctors about his condition yet. It's always good when a player returns with his club and is active," said Sylvinho.
