Silvinjo promises a spectacle against Georgia: A new cycle has started in

The coach of Albania, Silvinjo, promised a spectacle for tomorrow's match against Georgia, valid for the League of Nations.

At the press conference, the red and black coach stated that it will be a difficult but beautiful match.

According to him, Georgia has been studied by the staff for several months and emphasized that the team enters the field to win. Among other things, Silvinjo clarified his decisions, while emphasizing that a new cycle has started in Albania.

"We will try to make a good representation. The group is balanced. The coach prepares for victory, at least a draw. If we are not right, we lose. The stadium will be full of fans, we expect a beautiful match. We want to represent the Nation as best as possible tomorrow.

During 1 match you can make 5 or 2 changes depending on the situations. We were fine with Ukraine and changes were made only when needed. Little recovery time, but today we did the first training after the trip and tomorrow we will decide on the players who will be on the field. We will see the physical condition for the lineup tomorrow. We have 23 players ready, all are good, but we will see if we can make a tactical change. Tomorrow will be clearer.

Bajram as a wing midfielder? Since we have been working for 1 and a half years, we started in Poland with 4-3-3 with Uzun on the side, while now he is a central striker. The same with Bajram. In the friendly, we started with the same scheme and Bajram on the side. We will decide based on the characteristics of the players. Bajrami loves spaces and is flexible in different positions. Players have several options.

Air Albania a fortress, we don't even concede a goal? A good job has been done, the players know that they have to enter the field with force. Football consumes your energy and I have to recall an expression: If you are not Messi, you do not need to go back to defense. Georgia is a balanced team. Nice team and I believe the game will be like that.

Kvaratskhelia as Maradona? I don't want to make such comparisons, he is a good player. But there are also 4-5 others that we have studied in each position. It's not a fair comparison, but Kvara is a class player. It's fun to play against him, but we also have players like that who can reach this level.

Sagnol said I don't talk about opponents? Where is the most pressure? We have been studying Georgia for months. We have seen all 3, but the difference is that Georgia was the only one that passed the group in the European. It will be a difficult match, they have grown a lot as a team. I give compliments to the coach and their team. But the same applies to us as we have grown up a lot.

Manaj, Laçi and Ismajli did not play much in the European, while the best of Ukraine? I love that we have created this relationship. Football is like life and is seen as an opportunity. Gjimshiti was not in 2016, but now he is the captain. It's nothing personal, Ancelotti says a player can be upset with me for my decisions as a coach, but not with me like Carlo.

We made a beautiful European with difficult teams, now we will play even harder. We see a new cycle that needs to improve. The national team is open to everyone, wherever Albanians are, they are invited. I like that the players have the idea that they need to improve.

2 years since the last match that ended 0-0. How do you expect the match tomorrow? That was 2 years ago, football moves fast. The two teams have changed, it's hard to compare today and then. I expect a tough game, they are a strong team. You have to work for the game, not the result. It will be a big match, like us they have very good players.

Georgia's victory over the Czech Republic? Will tomorrow be a decisive match for the group? I saw their match yesterday and today. The group is balanced, there are no favorites. The Czech Republic is strong, we played a lot with them. I have to be honest, the team that wins tomorrow will have an advantage, but not a decisive one. There are still matches and we don't know what happens in the future. We have to do our best to get as many points as possible," declared Silvinjo.
