Canavaro invited to Tirana: Albania Has Experienced Players, Italy Take Care

Italy's former world football player, Fabio Canavaro, was invited to hold an open lecture on U course EFA PRO, at the football house in Tirana. The winner of the Golden Ball in 2006 shared his experience as a football player and also as a coach as he gave his opinion on [...]

After the lecture, the former defender failed to comment and the European Championship match between Albania and Italy, stressing that this confrontation is of enormous importance.

“I always think that the first match of a World or European is the most complicated, because it comes from a working period, the teams don't know how they are and certainly you play a team like Albania's is not easy, because it's a new team, strong, with a trained coach and it's certainly going to be a pretty tough fight for Italy to be”, He said.

Cannavaro analysed and representative “Azaturre”, but above all, stressed that you enjoy a maximum consideration for Coach Spalletti.

“Italia is a team with a new coach, with players having different experiences. Spaletti is obviously a coach with great international experience, but the first fight will be hard, because you know in Italy you lose a fight and then it becomes drama”, Cannavaro said it.

The 50-year-old then stopped at the Albanian National, for which she enjoyed a maximum respect, remembering and the performance that the redsmen had in qualifying.

There's no need to ask anyone about Albania, as long as you see the preliminary campaign your representative made. It's not about fear here, because respect is great, because your national has players all playing abroad, they have international experience and many of them play in the Italian championship. In the final phase of such a tournament, no one makes you a gift”, Cannavaro said it.

As far as Albania is able to do its surprise in this year's European, former Juventu and Inter football player was convinced that the red people have all the right to hope and believe they can play after the group phase.

Of course, why not? Football players go to the field, not history. They play teams that are super prepared and there's no team in the world today, at these levels, so it's not technically and Tactically prepared, and so why should we underestimate Albania?! I've had Albanian players, I had Wessel when I was running Benventon. And from this representative I like some, because you have a lot of players playing in Italy, they're two very good defenders, former world champion said. Supersport
