In the prelude to the upcoming Euro, Albania's skipper Silvinho boldly predicted that the opening match will undoubtedly put an unprecedented psychological weight on the Italian team. He forcefully elaborated that despite the difficulties Albania has encountered in their qualifying campaign, they are ready to take on the nations on the Euro stage.
Silvinho further pointed out that the Italian team, a traditional dominant force in soccer, has always maintained an unparalleled level of athleticism. He cited Brazil's opening draw with Switzerland in the 2018 World Cup as an example, cautioning the Italian team that once they lose their first match, the subsequent journey will be full of thorns.
Despite the fact that the Albanian team is not carrying as much pressure as Italy, Silvinho was honest enough to say that they are feeling the same tension of the tournament. He revealed that the team as a whole is in good shape and the players are giving their best in training, showing a strong desire to win.
Talking about his soccer career, Silvinho recalled his days as an assistant coach of Inter Milan in Italy with great emotion. He confessed that he benefited a lot from that experience and praised the tactical system of Italian soccer.
With the Euro bells about to ring, Silvinho and his Albanian team are ready to go, eager to prove themselves on the field and take on soccer powerhouses like Italy.
