Silvio before the English fight: It's gonna be a tough, but nice fight.

We studied England, that's what Coach Silvio declared at the official press conference on the eve of the first qualifying match towards the World Cup.

This will be a difficult fight, but at the same time very nice. True, we don't have much time to prepare, but I believe this time should be enough to prepare for a match like this”, Silvio said.

Next, the Brazilian spoke of his German colleague, who will debut at the top of the “3 Lions”.

We studied Tuchel, as well as the team of England. We know how he likes to play, there's a lot of good players in the compound, but I think for both teams, everything is very clear. It is 90 minutes to be played, to enjoy, to take responsibility, but also respecting the opponent, as it is one of the best teams in the world”, he said.

Captain Jimshii will have a tough job facing a player like Harry Kane, for whom he has not preferred to stop for long.

I don't think we should talk about the English players. The team has a hard job tomorrow, not just Jimshii or who's playing tomorrow. We have to stop the attack of England as a team. They won't be individual duels, but they'll be team duels and I believe that if we handle them well, it'll be difficult for them”, Silvio said.

England-Albania is played at 20:45 Friday, as far as Group K is concerned, Latvia and Andorra descend on the field.
