For the albanian national football coach, Sylvinho, the friendly matches against Chile, which Albania lost 3-0 and Sweden played this Monday, were expected to be very difficult.
Speaking at the Eve of the match against Sweden, Sylvinho revealed that there will be changes to the line-up as he wants to try as many players as possible on the pitch ahead of the 2024 Europeans.
As for the loss to Chile, the head of the "Reds" team explained that there was not enough time to make the right analysis and that when he returns to Tirana there will be a clearer picture ahead of EURO 2024.
Friendly: "We knew it was tough games and after returning to Tirana we will have to think about the Euro 2024 list. We had two friendly matches to prepare for the European. Of course it is inevitable that players don't think about The European, but they also think about giving their best on the pitch. "We as a team are evaluating the form of each player so that we can decide at the end which players will be on the list. "We have to play against Sweden, because we have a very strong opponent and a history of history."
Chile: "We have to work as a team, work hard so tomorrow we can be ready when we get down the pitch. We have to be aware that we have a very strong opponent, like Chile. We knew their strength, Chile have players like Alexis Sanchez, but we wanted to play with tough opponents. But let's not forget that we made a very good qualifying and we have to work again to be in that shape. Of course the players are anxious about participating in EURO 2024 but they need to show themselves and show their maximum so we can get the right result here first.
Formation: "Tomorrow we will have a change in the formation so that all the players have the opportunity to play. We have one national players like Mitaj, Mihaj, Seferi, Asllani, Manaj etc. who have not played many matches together and should be tried. "But we have to think about when we throw players on the pitch, because you can't make five or six changes, because we need results. We do not only look at the players in the match, but also in training how they give and how they fit in, so we have to look carefully at how we decide how they will play."
Sweden: "We'll make the final decision tomorrow on who will play tomorrow. As for the match against Chile, perhaps the 3-0 defeat was not the right result, as was the victory over the Czech Republic in qualifying. But that's how football is sometimes loses deep games that it doesn't deserve. "We have to put the Chile game behind us and do our best tomorrow."
"Will the NL play tomorrow?" We'll see tomorrow."
Do you have a plan B for module change if the match doesn't work out as you want?
“Është normale të provosh, por duhet të jemi të sigurt për ndryshimet që bëjmë. Sa herë që humbet një ndeshje fajësohet trajneri. Kemi punuar me module të ndryshme dhe u kemi dhënë mundësinë lojtarëve si Muçolli, Broja apo edhe Muçi që të tregojnë vlerat e tyre.”
Analiza pas humbjes ndaj Kilit, pse kemi bërë këto gabime? A mjaftojnë dy ditë për të reflektuar?
“Duhet të presim për të parë situatën e çdo lojtari, përpara se të vendosim formacionin. Janë pak ditë për t’u rekuperuar dhe për të analizuar sepse koha pas ndeshjes ndaj Kilit ishte shumë e pakët. Kur të kthehemi në Tiranë do të keni kohë që të analizojmë siç duhet dhe të vendosim për Europianin. Sigurisht që nesër kemi një ndeshje shumë të vështirë dhe të bukur dhe duhet të kalojmë dhe këtë njëherë, për të bërë më pas analizën e duhur.”
