We return to the defense: Consider how Kosovo should play against Czechia and England

Out of three matches, Kosovo has collected 5 points and is likely to qualify at the 2020 European Championships through groups.

The latest defeat, Kosovo suffered a duel with Iceland on September 10, 2017. Since then many things have changed. Kosovo is increasingly matured, while other football players from European leagues have told “Our team, this is Periscope.

But the current moment is a little problematic. Kosovo in the three games played only has faced Bulgaria and Montenegro's undisposed without the main players [Saviq, Jovetic], without coach and without fans. Kosovo's strongest point was the attack, with Rasica, Zenel and Muriqi. The defense isn't that much security.

Canton's qualities are indisputable, but since the team is lined up in the form to counterattack, it consistently allows large spaces in front of the gate. And now, Kosovo will face two nationals of another level, with Patrick Schick's Czech and Yaqa Yanktos and the England of Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane.

With the recent injuries in the offensive phase, perhaps Coach Challandes should consider for these two games another tactical scheme, much more defanzi.

True, the current form of Murkis and Celine is admirable, with both marked in the last week, but the sorrows are also high with the hurt Hekuran Kryeziu and Valon Berisha, who is expected to be the reserve at Lazio.

Thus, not having the same speed and creativity in the offensive phase, Kosovo can be crushed in the defence phase from counterattacks and counterattacks.

Yet, there is a good opportunity. Because Muriqi is a tall and physically powerful attacker, Kosovo should think seriously about playing with long balls through a mobilised and solid protection that would never give up the defanzi positions to allow for insight into opponents. Kosovo's offensive prospects would be reduced, but Kosovo would have been able to win duels in the air through Murkit and organise short counterattacks in time, through the speed and creativity of Celine that could be moved to the centre of the field.

Besides Muriq, as worthy substitutes in the position of the striker that would cause trouble with the game in the air is Father and Noah of Sheffield Wednesday. And besides Muriq, extraordinary game by the couriers has shown Amir Canthman who scored four goals from these positions in just 24 matches.

This is the formation proposed by Periscope:

Muric

Vojvoda-Rrahmani-Dresev c-Aliti-Cloll

Shala- Voca-V. Berisha

Celine

Muriqi
