For the launch of the second season of podcasts, the Prime Minister of the country Edi Rama has invited the coach of the Albanian National Team, Sylvio Mendes Campos Júnior, as well as the two deputy coaches, Pablo Javier Zabaleta Girod and Dorival Guidoni Junior, about 24 hours after Albania's victory against Poland.
Asked by Prime Minister Rama, coach Sylvinho explained in detail how he accepted the invitation to coach the Albanian National Team.
Excerpt from the interview:
Prime Minister Edi Rama: Let's come back to the moment when you came up with this idea to come together to train Albania. What prompted you to create this team to train the national team of this small country, a national team that, however, is not among the important ones. What lit the spark?
Silvinho: I think, Edi, since I got an invitation for dinner with the President of the Federation, the first thing is that we spoke Italian. I already had experience at Inter and I spoke Italian. Afterwards, Doriva also told me: "Silvio, be careful, because you have three years since the journey with the Brazilian national team for three years, in the 2018 World Cup." He understood the work very well. A society, a club is one thing and the federation is something else. I had the experience of the Brazilian national team. After that, I started to see Albanian players walking around. I saw that they spoke English, Spanish, Italian. I am a person who communicates and I thought that there I would be able to communicate with all the footballers without a translator, even in the federation with the president. There I had a push, a big push. Then, after dinner, after seeing the federation I got even closer and, indeed, I no longer had any doubts. I talked to Dorivan, Paolo agreed, it was very good for him and after that it was easy.
