The number "frightens" the National Team, Silvinjo raises doubts: I

The coach of the Albanian national team, Silvinjo, spoke at a conference on the eve of the "play-off" phase matches for the World Cup qualifiers.

During his statement, the Brazilian coach stressed that there is still no accurate information on the physical condition of striker Armando Broja. He said that the final assessment of the Burnley player will only be made after his arrival in the Rossoneri squad.

Due to the lack of attacking options, Silvinjo has selected players like Ernest Muçi and Anis Mehmeti, valuing their ability to find the net. The coach underlined that Muçi will be considered as an offensive option, while Mehmeti is seen as a winger who has improved significantly.

"We shouldn't complain. Let's look ahead. I have confidence in the players I have gathered. We have been thinking about this for a long time. We have to adapt to the situation. I see Muçi as a striker. On the field, he is a player who scores, finds the goal, has offensive and less defensive traits. We brought Mehmet to the national team. He is a player who has grown and improved a lot over the years. I see him as a winger. Both are players who find the goal. When you don't have real strikers, you have to find players who score. The player who has scored the most in the national team over the years is Nedim Bajrami, followed by Asani and Asllani. You don't necessarily need a 9 striker. They are players who can do well.

We've been after Pilo for a while. Aliji had surgery and has done well with the national team. We have to look at him and appreciate him. I see it as an opportunity given to the players.

"As for Broja as a center forward. He has time out. I don't know yet. I link it to the evaluation we need to do. I don't know the situation yet. We will evaluate them when they come to the training ground. It is important that those players enter the field who put the opponent in difficulty. Even those who come off the bench can make the difference," declared Silvinjo.
