The coach of Albania, Sylvinho, after the minimal defeat against Georgia, declared that he was facing a strong opponent, which is difficult to score.
Sylvinho stated that Georgia and Albania have the same style of play.
"It was a 50-50 match and it was decided by one episode. It was a tactical match and the team that concedes a goal loses the match. With such a team it is difficult to draw when you concede. They have fast players. They have done the same to the Czech Republic. We have similar styles. We stay on the defensive and when they start they are strong on the counter attack. When you concede a goal, it is difficult to recover.
Even for them it was a difficult match. They have players with high technical qualities. They defend very well and counterattack very quickly. When you concede a goal, it is difficult to equalise.
The best possible result would be a draw. We conceded a goal. We are a team that fights hard until the end. I can't say anything to the players. The best result would have been a draw.
It is very simple. Neither Seferi nor Uzuni are central strikers. Uzuni is a player who uses the spaces and it was not such a match, to use his speed", declared Sylvinho.
Albania was defeated 0-1 by Georgia and holds the second place in Group B1, in the League of Nations with 3 points.
