Altin Rraklli is convinced that coach Silvinjo has clear ideas on what he expects from the footballers he has collected for the March friendlies. The former well-known attacker of the Albanian National Team, in his analysis for "Sport News" in "News 24", has focused on the work that every attacking footballer needs to become part of the plans of the Brazilian technician.
He explained that for new names on the list like Broja e Manaj, this is a good opportunity to stand out, but they had to fit in with the rest of the group.
Rraklli, what do you expect from these two friendlies? Can Silvinho try something different? What can they be used for?
These matches come at the right time for some players. For example, for the return of Broja and Kumbulla, while Hoxha must show himself. Now it is more of a game that the coach makes, to give them the opportunity to develop their values. These matches will be good for Albania, on the eve of the European Championship.
We have 4 new players in this collection, new for the coach. Players like Rei Manaj, Broja, Hoxha and Kumbulla, can these players change the balance? Can they be included in the lineup?
Our good fortune is not that we have good players, but that we have footballers with character. We have players who accept the coach's decisions. They have to fight with the whole team, they have to help the team on the defensive side. We have succeeded thanks to the group. If the players who have returned after a spell are fit again, it would be a big win.
Do these comebacks make the National Team stronger?
Rivalry definitely makes a team stronger. At the end of the day, the coach is smart and able to select those who are physically fit.
Rraklli, it seems as if we will also play the European in attack, if we refer to the list as well. Can this happen, can we play in attack against teams like Italy, Spain and Croatia?
There are 10 attackers on the list, but from what we have seen in the qualifiers, only those who have played at the top have done something like that. So either Cikalleshi or Daku. We cannot say that we have strikers on paper and they will play as strikers. Broja is a typical striker who always plays only with the ball. Silvinho has to work with him to make him go back. Wing forwards are not typical strikers, they are half-forwards or even midfielders. The list is more of a simulation than an exact one.
Of course, we can't take away Silvinho's franchise, but in your view, how can the trident of the attack be? Who would you rather see in attack?
I would try Broja and Manaj. I would try each one of the matches. Muçi should definitely be from the wings. So the players who have had little space and who definitely want to play, I would give them the opportunity.
It is a bit of a strange situation that the players who brought us to the European Championship, players like Asani and Seferi, do not have minutes. Daku and Muja did not gather. Could these two friendly tests be a new starting point, it seems like it's all starting from scratch...
As far as I know Silvinho's mentality, when the moment of decision comes for the European, mediation is needed through those players who gave the qualification and those who were not part. Decisive will be the current best form. If Manaj will continue to score and Cikalleshi will not be in shape, Silvinjo will choose Manaj. Daku and Muja have shown themselves, they do not need to play in these friendlies.
The entire discussion takes place only in the Altin attack, the rest is not expected to change...
We have Asllan and Bajram in midfield who replace each other. It will be a choice between experienced players and those in form. I wish that the players who have been in the National Team all this time, get the right minutes. Players who are overworked in the championship, there comes a time when they do not do well in the national team, as they are tired. Asllani is playing with Inter, but he can't take all the physical load that the others at Inter have, who have been playing 3 times a week. It is a double edged knife.
What match are you waiting for against Chile?
Both Chile and Sweden are strong rivals. Chile plays hard and is a wild team, plays a lot with the ball. Sweden has the physical power.
In "Sport News" you made spectacular predictions, how do you predict this challenge?
Against Chile, since we are playing at home, I think we will win 2-1.
We play in Italy, we play like at home...
I know, that's why I said it. I believe in victory.
I see you have the jersey and the pleat behind your back. Are you getting ready for the European?
Yes, yes, I'm ready. I have opened the house for people (Laughs).
