Albania will play a very important match, such as the one against the Czech Republic, valid for the European qualifiers. On the eve of this match, coach Silvinjo gave an interview to the international agency "Reuters".

He said that Thursday's challenge is an opportunity to take a big step towards the European Championship. Among other things, the Brazilian also spoke about Jasir Asani, stating that he has been wonderful for the National Team and added that he would not have found him if he did not live in Albania

"We have three finals ahead of us and we have to face the same attitude we have had so far. It all starts on Thursday. We are aware of the enthusiasm of our fans, but the players know that this is the external scenario, something we cannot control. They are absolutely calm and conscientious.

A win on Thursday would be a huge step towards our long-awaited qualification. It is extremely important, but still not decisive. We had a real chance to come back with a better result from that game, but the most important thing we took from the debut was that we connected with the players and they immediately understood what we wanted. Of course we want to be a well-organized team, score big goals, build beautiful games, but I insist on the idea that this team must preserve its identity, that is, its fighting spirit. Will, courage and attitude in every game. This is something the players understood from the beginning. We had to live in Tirana to develop our work. We travel a lot, we meet with the players, but the database we have from the Federation in Tirana is invaluable.

There are millions of Albanians... living all over the world. We were looking for a left-footed right winger and found Asani. We liked what we saw right away and he's been great for us. Our philosophy is to attract players with our work. Let the results, the project and the structure we are building speak for us and touch the heart and soul of the Albanian players abroad, so that they feel the call to return home", declared Silvinjo.
