“We will remember this game”, celebrated the coach of the Albania national team, the Brazilian Sylvinho, after the draw in the last minutes against Croatia 2-2, this Wednesday, in the second round of Group B of the Euro Cup.
“It was brilliant, incredible”, said the Brazilian, whose team took the lead, suffered a comeback and sought an equalizer in stoppage time. “We played well in the first half, but it was very difficult in the second”, given the Croatian pressure, analyzed Sylvinho.

Now, with one point, Albania appears in third place and still dreams of qualifying for the round of 16 and, to do so, they must achieve a positive result against Spain.
“We will remember this game. We are proud of our fans, who came in large numbers. The country must be proud of the game and the result”, he assessed.
“We have to take advantage of this type of tournament, we are only at the European Championship for the second time”, recalled the coach.
Albania, who lost the first game to Italy 2-1, will face Spain with a chance of advancing to the round of 16 next Monday, at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Merkur Spiel-Arena, in Dusseldorf.
