Silvinho's Albania is readable, the numbers "condemn" the Brazilian technician

The optimism that the players of the National Team and coach Silvinjo preached in the press conferences before the match with the Czech Republic, were not seen for a moment in Prague.
Apart from the 2-0 loss, what stood out more was the team's apathetic behavior on the pitch, the lack of a leader and the lack of a winning mentality.
The opponent had prepared this match down to the smallest detail, they were motivated to the maximum and this was also the justification of coach Silvinjo and some players after the match, practically "we lost because we are very strong".
"The opponents now study Albania and see how they have been waiting for us here for a year, this is an advantage. Two years ago they didn't know who was playing and now they know what we've done, now we have to improve more." said the coach, among other things, after the match.
Conditioned by some absences, Silvinjo put on the field the formation that everyone expected with the duo Ismajli-Kumbulla in the center, but Chory found it easy to act between them, his second headed goal proved that Gjimshiti is an irreplaceable player in team.
We didn't do better in the offensive phase either, only two shots in the box, but these came after the opponent's double advantage. We had a hard time keeping the ball on our feet, making more than two passes, only 39% possession.
Against the Czech Republic, it was the second defeat in three games in this edition of the League of Nations. Contrary to what was expected, where everyone hoped that after a European with rivals like Italy, Spain and Croatia, Albania would be more mature, Silvinho's team has only suffered regression with the game that has already become readable for the opponents while the coach is reluctant to do something different.
After the European Championship, we suffered 2 losses in 3 games, 2 goals scored and 4 conceded. The challenge against Georgia after 2 days is another difficult meeting, a match where we are again doomed not to lose, otherwise the League of Nations for this edition would be a failure.
