Sylvinho: “Spain is a candidate for the title”
The Albanian coach Sylvinho began by stating that “I feel proud of the players and the country. It is the second time that we have played in a final phase of the Euro Cup. We have been there for a year and a half and they have not painted our faces like everyone thought. The players have believed in the work and have sacrificed. We have competed against three important teams. Spain is a very strong team, it has very good players inside, but also outside. We hadn’t had that before in Spain. It has a lot of technical and tactical quality. They defend themselves very well. For me she is a candidate for the title.” “It was a difficult draw, but we have to get used to this level. We are a very organized team because we have worked a lot. I lost many nights of sleep, but it was worth it,” she concluded.
