Before the World Cup preliminaries against Albania, England defender Dan Byrne said in an interview with ITV that Albania has players who can create threats.

On England under Tuchel

– We have come a long way since Tuchel’s first game. This is a great opportunity for the players who are playing today to put themselves into the framework of the World Cup.

About England's excellent defense

- This is important, no matter what game you play, you want to keep a clean sheet. From that perspective, I don't think anything will change. If we can finish the group stage without conceding a goal, it will be very positive for us.

About facing Albania

- We know they are dangerous and we need to dominate the game. They have secured a play-off spot and they will be motivated. They have players who can create threats - like Broja from the Premier League, who is always strong. Aslani is an important player for them as well, so someone has to defend and try to contain him.
