National Captain Berat Gjimshi took to the conference for media arming coach Sylvinho, on the eve of the match against Croatia, the second meeting of the Euro-2024 Group round for Albania, played this Wednesday at 1500 at “Volkspardion”.
Speaking of media on the eve of this meeting, Albanian defender said Croatia is the favourite at this meeting, but added that no mistakes made to the challenge with Italy should be made.
Gjimshi further added that they need to be more intelligent in the playing field and that when needed to slow down the opponent's pace.
How different is Albania from Croatia? “Croatia is in the favourite role. I believe it appeared in the match against Italy, when we face champion like Italy, every minor mistake affects. We need to improve those episodes so we can do better for Croatia. ”
Have you spoken to Pasalic? For these last moments, no, but when we were on the team, we were joking. What's left in my mind is that Croatia has never played against Albania, I believe it will be nice to play against it and that I'm going to meet it is a good boy”.
What's the team's psychological situation? “is very important, psychological state is more important than physical fatigue. I've talked to some players and of course you have to give me courage, because neither did we. Because I have a little more experience and more years than some players, I try to help some of the players who are younger. ”
We need to understand the pace of the game: “I said after Italy that you should be a little more intelligent in these types of fights and stop the opponent's rhythm. You don't just have to be beautiful in the field, but be a little dirty and finally get what you deserve. ”
After losing Spain, Croatia needs points, how do you think they will oppose Albania? They lost 3-0 to Spain and will certainly seek points, for them it was not easy to Spain as it was for us to Italy. Of course, it's gonna be hard, because both teams are gonna be looking for maximum, then we'll see how we're gonna be tomorrow.
