While mentioning the lost match against England, Sylvinho said that in this match against Andorra, mistakes cannot be allowed.
The coach of the Albanian national football team, Sylvinho, appeared before journalists today at the usual media conference on the eve of the challenge against Andorra, the second in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The coach began his speech with a condolence to the family of sports journalist Siamir Demi, who passed away today at the age of 57.
While mentioning the lost match against England, Sylvinho said that in this match against Andorra, mistakes cannot be allowed. In his analysis of the opponent, the Brazilian said that the opponent plays a lot in defense and for this reason, the main goal of the players in the next match will be to find spaces to score.
" First of all, my condolences to journalist Siamir Demi, sorry. From our side, a hug to all his family. Football is difficult for everyone. We leave the past behind, we learn and start again. Our restart has not been very easy at "Wembley", with a good coach, a team with good footballers. Physical game, rhythm. A national team that has made two finals in the last European Championships, we have seen important, very strong players, the Premier League has an extraordinary step. But it was not a sure defeat, we were there, if they let us, we would have drawn and won. We were in the race until the second goal, then it was over, if you don't prepare well, these people kill you, you score 4-5 goals. When you go to play against Spain, in 45 minutes they give you a football lesson, they score 5-6 to take you home. I am proud that we were in the game until the end, to the second goal. Tomorrow we start again, tomorrow we have a path where we should not and cannot make mistakes, a very difficult match. I saw them against Latvia, a set piece changed the match. We have to find spaces that are not there, it is not easy, to find space to play, to score, to find as much as possible. Today we have a tactical training to find this space.
"The choices are to take the best. At Wembley we defended down with restarts, Uzun in the defensive phase has helped us a lot, he has spent energy, kilometers. Now we need to use something different. Now we can think about changing tomorrow, because it is a different game strategy. England is one thing and at home it is something else ," he said.
Regarding the formation, he stressed that there could be 2-3 changes from the last formation against England. He explained that the changes are made for tactical reasons and not injuries or physical fatigue.
"Football is difficult but we have to find the right space, I know their coach, we will make changes in the strategic aspect of the game. They have a good player who plays strategically. It has to be done and this is the work that is done in the National Team, there will be changes but not from physical fatigue. We work a lot with videos in training, we may have 2-3 changes, we have to move into a match where we have to close the spaces, but in this case we have to be the ones to create chances ," added the coach.
The only one who was recalled and will not be able to play a single minute due to injury will be Ismajli, whom the Brazilian praised for his readiness.
"Players want to do their best. I would be the first to say thank you to a player who is not physically ready to play. If we want to achieve the dream we have to sacrifice a lot. Ismajli had a recurrence of his physical condition and will not be ready for tomorrow's match. He has a greater desire to be with the team, and he has a very big heart ," said Sylvinho, among other things.
