Albania achieved its first victory in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, defeating Andorra 3-0 at the "National Arena".
This victory seems to have pleased coach Sylvinho, who said it was the right response after the defeat to England at Wembley.
He also said that the National Team is already thinking about the next match with Serbia, which will be played on June 7 in Tirana.
"Everything is very fast, this is a difficult group. It was a must to win today to reach and stay in the game and we know the Andorran team well because we have played before, it is a team that plays with heart. After England, we managed to have a good match, although I think we played well there too. We made some strategic changes also because of the players' fatigue, I think we deserved it and it has been some time since we have won such matches and with a good result. Now we look forward to June. The opponents, who were very good defensively, did very well today.
Qualifying for the World Cup is a little different and more difficult, we have to do more to get there. Today we were a little more under pressure because it was a game we had to win and if we didn't get 3 points it would be more difficult going forward. Strategically I think we did a very good job, the players did very well and sacrificed a lot in the match at Wembley, where I remember that England is a team that has played in the finals of the last two European Championships. If you don't run, create plays and defend well you can concede 5 goals, I think the players did very well.
"As for the next opponent, we have to start studying it now, but I am happy that I have many players with different characteristics who have the desire to be part of the National Team and to play that we can use depending on the opponents," Sylvinho told the media.
