Altin Raklli: It will be difficult with Moldova, they definitely need victory
Altin Rraklli

Altin Rraklli is convinced that coach Silvinjo should be given the right in every choice he makes, as he is showing match after match that he is acting in the right way.

The former well-known striker of the Albanian national team has argued why the Brazilian's decisions should not be disputed, no matter how they look from the outside.

In his interview for "Sport News" on "News 24", in the conversation with moderator Trevisa Tufa, he focused on what the coach is giving to the National Team, how close the red and blacks are to a historical record and the situation of the overcrowded attack. where Armando Broja has not yet given his contribution.

Altin, in the last conversation, we were live from Prague. Not only were you convinced that we would not lose against the Czech Republic, but you also found the result in your head, 1-1. We are now keeping an eye out for the next forecast. How is the challenge with Moldova?
Coincidentally, since I'm not great at finding results. Based on the performance of the team, I am confident. It will be the most difficult match, maybe more difficult than the Czech Republic. Moldova is a compact team in defense, very difficult to score. I'm saying 0-1 or 0-2, we don't concede goals there.

No one counts, neither Silvinho nor the players enter the field for "X". A draw would be enough for us. What does this detail show?
It's okay what the coach says, you can't count. 90 minutes is too much and you can concede a goal. As you attacked in the Czech Republic, I do the same this time. The moment you score, the game will be more fluid. The coach is right.

Rraklli, if you look at the list of players, we have eight strikers, the department with more players. Has the philosophy of the national team already changed? Are we already in a new reality?
It has never happened that there are more attackers than midfielders in the list. Silvinho has done something like that. Credit goes to him. We have strikers with midfielder traits. Asani in the present case, it goes back a long way. The number? They are internal situations. In general, such a player should not be left out. I wish it was as they say. A final exception would not be fair and would not be smart. If I were a coach, I would have collected it.

In the eyes of a former player, who knows how the dressing room works. is it a technical decision, or do you prefer not to disrupt the harmony in the dressing room? On the other hand, how does this affect a player like Broja who enters the field against Manchester City and immediately wins a penalty. Meanwhile, the coach of the national team spares him...
They are internal problems. If Broja has asked to play definitely, the coach's decision is normal since no one can set conditions. The matches played so far have been played without Broja. Whether it's damage related issues or something else, we don't know. We have to believe what the coach says.

How difficult will it be for Silvinho to compile the list for "Euro2024"? Not only Broja, but also Marvin Çuni was absent, meanwhile there are eight other attackers, someone is forced to leave out...
We need one more point. A player for example who has contributed a lot of minutes during the qualifiers, normal that will accumulate.

I want to dwell on another detail. Silvinho never changes in relation to the center of attack. He blindly trusts Çikallesh, but Çika is the only striker who has not scored a single goal in these qualifiers. Why does Silvinho insist on this point, what does he see? Should he try something different in these last two challenges?
Silvinho is a new coach, he didn't know the names. He dismantled the players, getting the best out of them and seeing what they could do on the field. Çikalleshi is a player who takes risks, but does well even when he turns back. He didn't score, but he worked hard. With these results, the coach is right with the moves made.

In these 6 matches, I believe we have all created a very clear idea about this team. In your view, where can we improve even more? What can we do better?
I don't know, starting from the last matches, he has reached his maximum. Everything has worked perfectly. We don't suffer and we don't allow spaces, that's the basis.

Let's go back to the challenges with Moldova, what match are you waiting for? It is a rival that brings us luck, but they have never lost at home.
The most difficult match, they definitely need the win. They will leave spaces behind, without question. I don't know if Moldova will be ready to withstand the pressure. We don't have a lot of pressure.

We started with predictions and ended with predictions, with how many points do we end these qualifiers? We are in the quota of 13 points.
We will break the record, we finish with 19 points.
