His words are sharp, even if Albania in the qualifying rounds through a lot of trials and tribulations, but the team has already been gearing up, vowing to be in the big stage of the European Cup in the full force of the attack.
Silvinho did not forget to mention Italy, a traditional powerhouse in soccer that has always maintained an unrivaled level of athleticism. He cited Brazil's draw with Switzerland at the 2018 World Cup as an example, warning Italy that a loss in the first match would make the subsequent journey even more difficult.

Talking about his soccer career, Silvinho recalled his coaching years in Italy, especially his experience as an assistant coach of Inter Milan, he was overwhelmed with emotion and praised the tactical system of Italian soccer.
As the European Championships draw nearer, Silvinho and his Albanian team are ready to go, eager to prove themselves on the field in a thrilling battle against soccer powerhouses like Italy.
