"New cycle in Albania", Sylvinho: We have been studying Georgia for
Sylvinho

The coach of Albania, Sylvinho, praised Georgia, on the eve of the challenge in the League of Nations. According to him, the challenge at "Air Albania" will be very nice, referring to the opponent he is facing.

The Red and Black coach stated that it has not yet been decided for the formation that will go down on the field, as the condition of the players will be seen tomorrow as well.

"A good job was done by the staff. The players know that they have to enter the field with intensity. Football takes a lot of energy. Unless you make a few mistakes, you don't need to go back. Georgia is a well organized team. They did a very good European, passed the groups. They are a good team, organized and it will be a nice match.

During a match you can make several changes. When substitutions were needed against Ukraine, we made them. It is a short recovery time for the players and it is difficult. Today we did the first training, after returning from Prague. Tomorrow we will warm up the muscles and then we will choose the formation.

We will look at the physical condition of the players. It is difficult. We will talk to the players. We have 23 players ready. If a player has not recovered sufficiently these days, it will be decided. "Tomorrow after lunch, we will have a clearer idea," said the red and black coach.

Asked about the scheme, Sylvinho stated that Albania has the opportunity to play with 4-4-2, while he refused to make comparisons for Kvaratskhelia. He said that the staff of the National Team has been studying Georgia for several months.

"It's been a year and a half since we started with the National Team. In Poland we started with 4-3-3. In Warsaw, Uzuni played on the wings, but now we have called him in the center. The same with Bajram who started as a winger and moved to the center. We realized that we can also play with 4-4-2. We have 2-3 options as the players play. We have the options that we know how they work.

I don't want to get into comparisons. Kvara is a very good player, but Georgia has other very good players. I have been studying them for a month. Kwara is a class player. It's a pleasure for us to play against him. We also have good players who can reach that level.

We have been studying Georgia for months. All three opponents are strong, but the difference with Georgia is that they passed the European group and did well. They have very good players, it will be a difficult game. I think they have grown up a lot. I want to compliment everyone, they have grown a lot as a team. I can say the same about us, we are doing very well. The stadium will be full of supporters for us", he said.

Sylvinho emphasized that there is nothing personal with certain players, while he said that he sees the start of a new cycle in Albania.

"There is nothing personal with any player. Ancelotti has said that a player can be upset about decisions, but there is nothing with the coach. We did very well in the European. We had tough teams. In this match, we go strong. I see it as a new cycle. We brought Zeka and Spahiu. I like that the players have been given the idea that they have to give their best to be in the lineup.

I can't make comparisons with the last game. I can say that it will be a strong match. Can not predict the result. We will enter to make a good match.

I watched the match with the Czech Republic, it was a difficult match. The group is balanced. There is no team that can win all the games. The winning team has some kind of advantage in the continuity of the competition. Every match you win gives you an advantage. Until November, we have a lot of work ahead of us", concluded Sylvinho

The Albania-Georgia match will be played on Tuesday, September 10 at the "Air Albania" stadium.
