Albanian soccer helmsman Silvinho recently revealed that the drums of war for the Euro are about to beat, and he has a feeling that the opening match will bring an unbearable psychological weight to rival Italy. Despite the trials and tribulations of Albania's qualifying campaign, the team is ready and determined to go all out on the Euro stage.
Silvinho further pointed out that Italy, the traditional powerhouse of the soccer world, has always maintained an exceptional level of athleticism. He cited Brazil's draw with Switzerland at the 2018 World Cup as an example of how Italy would struggle in subsequent tournaments if they lost their opening match.
However, Silvinho also confessed that Albania is not under as much pressure as Italy, but is equally immersed in the tension of the tournament. He revealed that the team is in good shape and the players are giving their best on the training ground to prepare for the upcoming challenge.
Talking about his personal coaching career, Silvinho recalled his coaching years in Italy, especially his experience as an assistant coach of Inter Milan, and said that he had gained a lot from that time and gave a very high evaluation to the tactical thinking of Italian soccer.
As the European Cup draws closer, Silvinho and his Albanian soccer team are ready to go, eager to prove themselves on the green field and to face off with Italy and other soccer powerhouses.
