Southgate: If Albania were to mark first, things would go differently

It was a pretty hard fight for us. Albania had several opportunities to move to the upper hand early in the first half. They played well with and without a ball. That would make the fight very complicated for us. We were able to create after the 20th minute and managed to win”, Southgate declared after the Supersport match.

“Albania is a very good team. But, fortunately, our attackers managed to find space and scored the goals needed for victory”, the English sector stressed.

“was a very difficult match, Albania played well and was organised. They played well with and without a ball. There were several cases from the beginning, if they were to advance, it could have gone differently”, he added.

“Albania is constantly improving and you see what problems it creates. They have a team spirit and they can do good. Who liked me from Albania? I didn't see Albania on an individual plan, but I think the two middlemen in the mall were doing a good run. Protectors are always hard. It was a tough fight”, finished Southgate.
