Sylvinjo: We are a team of mostly 20-year-olds. Do not judge them as with Italy
Coach Sylvinjo, in an interview after the match, said that he does not agree with the opinion that Italy was not played well.
Don't forget, he said, that the majority of the team is made up of talented players, but they are very young and have no experience in such championships. It takes time.
He said that the match with Croatia will be long remembered by Albanians as an excellent match.
"I think we played a very good game against a great team. Respect for the coach and their players. We were very good in the first half, we had opportunities to score the second goal. Then we conceded two goals in the second, but managed to equalize. The last 5 minutes will remain in the memory of the whole world and all Albanians. Very nice.
We are ambitious, to move forward. This national team has a lot of potential and young players who are getting experience. We will remember during this match. The appearance is determined by the result. If Manaj's ball was entered with Italy, we would talk differently", said Sylvinjo.
