The England national team will face a real test against Kosovo

The England national team will face something different, like a real test, when they face Kosovo in the 6th match of group A, qualifying for the 2020 European Cup on Wednesday (9/11).

Kosovo is currently the second best team in Group A after England. The Three Lions will not only meet the team, they will also face emotional resistance.

That is something Gareth Southgate does, but many teams can experience it. The England manager certainly hopes his players won't experience it and the team works hard to deal with it.

During the match at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday night local time or Wednesday (11/9) morning, after a qualifying match so far, the Southgate team will face a talented Kosovo who will not let England go. less than the world

"I think tonight's match will be very different, and I think they are a very good team," said Southgate, who managed to make England a 4-0 win over Bulgaria.
Kosovo Defeat Bulgaria and the Czech Republic

In contrast, Kosovo also defeated Bulgaria in Sofia by a score of 3-2 and then followed by a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic. It was these two wins that allowed Kosovo to win surprising success in second place in Group A, as well as a record of never losing in 15 consecutive matches.

This record is undeniably one of Kosovo's achievements, which hopes to enter the 2020 European Cup finals for the first time in its history.

This success also seems to be a gift for Kosovo as a young nation. They seem to have started to find their identity in international football, to run and want to keep running.
Led by the UEFA League of Nations

The latest event at the new UEFA League of Nations seems to be the right time for Kosovo to feel like a team with the same abilities, and work harder for better results.

"They have a relatively new national spirit and that reminds me a little when Croatia began to emerge," Southgate said, as reported by Independent.

"I think they will come with great confidence, their record is amazing right now, they will play with confidence, it is a very good test for us," the England national team coach said. 49 years old.

Kosovo has also experienced special situations that allow it to avoid factors that could cause it to experience a dramatic decline, in addition to a decrease in team achievements such as Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.

This is seen even at their club level, far higher than Bulgaria.

Kosovo currently has captain Samir Ujkani playing in Turin, Amir Rrahmani at the Italian club in Verona, Florent Hadergjonaj at Huddersfield playing at the championship, Bersant Selina playing in Swansea City, Valon Berisha participating in Serie A with Lazio, Atdhe Nuhiu in Sheffield on Wednesday and - among the most dangerous - striker Fenerbahce Vedat Muriqi.

Kosovo remains a big threat to England, even if it does not play without Milot Rashica and Arber Zeneli, two very interesting players at Werder Bremen and Reims, injured. "They lost two big wings, but they still have depth, tactically they are very good," Southgate said.
