Coach Silvinjo decided not to collect center back Jon Mersinaj in "EURO 2024" with Albania, even though he had sent him an invitation, leaving the red and black footballer on the waiting list. So the latter is already enjoying the holidays, but without taking his attention away from what his friends are doing in Germany.
" Although I hoped to be among the 26 Albanian footballers in the European Championship, I did not receive an invitation. I am not disappointed, I was close, but the coach judged that there are better players and I will wait for another opportunity. I can't change anything, so I don't have to be disappointed ", said Mersinaj first.
He then analyzed the performance of the Rossoneri against Italy, emphasizing that the team led by Silvinho had made a mistake by retreating too far.
" It started great, we scored a goal in the 23rd second, but then a mistake was made, we shouldn't have retired. Italy went forward violently, the Italians were allowed to create play and chances. And when that's the case, that's when the quality shines through, so after 15 minutes Italy turned the score around with two goals and took the lead. I wouldn't want to be misunderstood, because Italy is really strong, it's a team full of great individuals, but it still seems to me that Albania retreated too much and left the game to the Italians.
Albania's greatest strength? Let's be together, definitely! Always when we played well, we were a real, balanced team, which then brought out the best individuals. In attack, we have fast and technically strong players, who often score goals and decide the matches on counterattacks.
The midfield played a good game. All three know how to play, and they are also great workers, they don't stop until the last minute, they are always on the run, they are responsible and disciplined. They are trying hard, as, after all, the entire Albanian team. There is no player who does not do his job and wet the shirt with sweat. Everyone gives their best, it will be the same against Croatia ", said the central defender, who warned the Croatians.
" I expect a good, quality and interesting match! Croatia certainly has a small advantage, it is the slight favorite, but it will have to play very well to win against Albania. My compatriots will certainly fight as hard as possible, I am convinced that they will be a strong opponent. If Albania plays without fear and without much respect for the opponent, Croatia will suffer. And the team that makes the fewest mistakes and is most skilled in execution will win. In competitions like this, chances should not be lost, as Croatia lost against Spain ", said the defender who has been playing with Lokomotiva Zagreb for 6 years for " Jutarnji ".
