Sylvinho: We've grown a lot. We want to seize this opportunity.

It's fair that Italy is named favourite in the match against us, but football is crazy. So anything can happen“

The Group B, which includes Italy, Albania, Spain and Croatia, has rightly been named the strongest and most difficult in Germany's European.

We didn't really expect to get into this group, because we want to face the best. We are a new National, and it is only the second time Albania participates in the European. After the Euro 2016 debut with Di Bias. Albania has grown a lot, but we must learn more. We're fully loaded, we all want to use this option“.

There is no shortage of a bat for Roberto Mancin, the current Saudi Arabian technician who led Italy towards winning Euro 2020. Sylvinho was his assistant in Inter.

I thought: Thank God Mancini is no longer in Italy's pankina... It would be strange to face him. It will be difficult for us to fight against Italy. As Brazilian as I am, Italy has made me cry in 1982 with Paolo Ross. But I love Italy“very much, Albania's coach said.
