Albania is preparing for the European Championship with the Reds and Blacks who won 3-0 against Liechtenstein in the friendly, while tomorrow is the friendly with Azerbaijan.
The former footballer of the National Team, Redi Jupi, in an interview for the "Sport News" show on News 24, analyzed Silvinho's list, also mentioning special elements.
Jupi, you liked the National team in the test against Liechtenstein, it was within your tastes, what you expected, that Sylvinho appeared satisfied...
This can lead to good matches. With weak opponents, you can't always play well. Even modest teams can do well. We had a good match, some players that we expect from them, expressed themselves well. There were also some players who won't get minutes in the European Championship, some seem to me that it is too much that they are on the list. He has made his choices.
Who are the redundant players?
I don't mind talking names because I am a man of strong convictions. It is not good to mention names of players who will go to the European. Looking at the performance, some were not activated, I think that those players who have been discussed a lot should have been part of the group (Cikalleshi, Uzuni, Bare). In order not to play, I would rather keep these three.
The interest was great to see Broja and Asani in action, two players with very few minutes on foot, how do you rate their performance?
Broja is the guarantee of the national team, we complete and very good players are few, they can be counted with the fingers of one hand. There are definitely some problems, it's better that we don't have any. That was the guarantee.
Things change in Asani. There could be another choice. This is the coach's choice, that's how it went in the qualifiers, that's how it's going in the European. Remember De Biaz's list? One of them won the European League (Gjimshiti), one became champion with Napoli years (Rrahmani)?
Arbër Hoxha or Taulant Seferi, Daku or Broja, do you think there are still dilemmas for the offensive trident? That Asan looks safe on the right…
I wouldn't be sure about Asani. I would put Uzun in the starting line-up, he is not on the list at all. The number is indisputable, the others then according to the condition they will be. We have some stationary players, Gjimshiti, Mihaj, Asllani, Bajrami and Broja. Others, then, it is not that they make any big difference. We will play based on the opponents.
But Manaj Jupi, in the last two outings, has not lit up properly, is he expecting something more?
He didn't convince, probably Silvinjo, he kept notes about it. It got lost in the hierarchy, I think. Daku, even without playing, I think he has gained hierarchy towards him.
Now that you saw the team in this first outing, after the list, how do Silvinho's decisions look?
I'm sure there is a problem with the list. Great discussions take place. There is no morality in football, you need points. You get points when you are morally calm. The list was 23, then it became 26 players. First of all, there is a criterion, Silvinjo, will not be in charge of Albania forever. Before the job, you will be rewarded for qualifications, which went very well. Cikalleshi, although 33 years old, played in the qualifiers. The case of Cikalles, you have a player who is active and has contributed, while you don't call him. Uzuni, plays in La Liga, has a very good psycho-physical condition. No matter how many times he has played, physically, Uzuni has never been absent.
We have one last test, the one against Azerbaijan, what else can Silvinho try, he is not the type of coach who likes changes, where do you think there are still dilemmas?
I don't think any tests were done. In the first challenge, the players who will play against Italy played, except for Gjimshit, who is known to be there. Collected late. I hope he hits you with the choices he will make.
Redi, a good part of the players, come a few minutes on foot, or in a bad shape with the respective teams, players like Hysaj, Bajrami, Broja, Asani, etc., do you think they will be ready in time?
I think when you make a choice, the criterion of minutes, makes you take one player and not another. I will bring in the players that I know what they can give tactically. If he thinks that Asani and Uzuni are there, it is his choice. Eid for a year and a half has shown that it is irreplaceable. The choices are easy.
Rivals don't look very good either, Italy for example, do you continue to stick to the idea that we can get points?
The match with Turkey was real drama for them, good news for us. I have the impression that they chose Turkey because it is a similar rival to us. They were not a solid team. If we hit the game, if they play like the last few games, we can do something.
