Albania will play the next match against Georgia this evening at the "National Arena", valid for the League of Nations. In the conference before the match, the coach of the national team, Sylvinho, said that all the players are ready and that he expects a nice match in Tirana.

"We will try to make the best possible representation. I said this is a balanced group. Ukraine is very strong. Georgia too and the coach has done a good job. Every coach prepares the team to win. I think it will be a very nice match, the stadium will be full. We want to represent the nation as well as possible in tomorrow's match.

During a match you can make 5 or 2 changes depending on the situations. The team was well placed with Ukraine. There is very little time to recover for the players. Today will be the first training after returning from Prague. All the staff and we will decide who are the right players to field.

We will see the physical condition of the players. We have 23 players ready, all are in good shape. It is still very early, maybe tomorrow after lunch we will have a wider picture.

It's been a year and a half since we played the matches with the national team, we started with the 4-3-3 scheme. At that time, Uzuni played as a winger, now we have called him as a center forward. The same thing happened with Bajram, we called him as a wing midfielder and then he was posted in the center. We started with 4-3-3, but it was transformed into 4-2-3-1 and during the game it turned into 4-2-2-2. But it will be decided based on the condition of the players. Bajrami is a player who needs space, we have the opportunities and everything will be decided later.

A good job was done by the staff. The players know that they have to bring a lot of strength and possession of the ball, because football consumes a lot of energy. I want to recall an expression of Klopp. If you don't make mistakes, you don't have to go back to defense. However, Georgia is very strong. Very nice to watch, very organized and I believe it will be a really nice match.

Kwara like Maradona? I don't want to get into such comparisons. He is fantastic, but Georgia has many other good players. He is not the right comparison, but Kvara is a class player. It's an honor to play against him, just like it was when we played against Lewandowski. We have good players too who can reach the same level.

We have been studying and watching the Georgia team for months. All three group opponents are strong, but the difference between Georgia and the others is that in the European, they qualified from the group. It will be a difficult match. I think they as a team have grown a lot. I wanted to give compliments to the team, the coach and the federation of Georgia. Also, we are growing a lot. I think we will have a very good match. When the match starts, 90 minutes must be played.

Manaj, Laçi and Ismajli? I love that we have created this relationship between us where we can discuss and share many things together. Football is like life and it can come back as an opportunity later. Gjimshiti was not part of Euro 2016 and in Euro 2024 he was the captain of the National Team. I have nothing personal with the players. I remember an expression of Ancelotti. A player can get bored with me as a coach, but not with me as Carlo'. I remember that we made a beautiful European, where we could concede 4-5 goals. I see it as a new cycle that needs to be improved. The national team is open to everyone. We have already brought Zeka and Spahiu. I like that the players are given the idea that they need to improve to be part of the lineup.

I can't make comparisons with 2 years ago. Both teams have changed a lot. It will be a tough match. They have very good players and a coach. We will go into the game to put on a good performance. I can't make a prediction, but I believe it will be a very nice match.

I watched the Georgia vs. Rep. game. Czech. The group is balanced. There is no team that can win all the games. Rep. Czechs and Georgia know each other well. This is a very tough competition, seeing that it is played for only three months. But until November we have a lot of time ahead", said Sylvinho. /TCH/
