“We started the match in a shameful way.” Ran Ben Shimon owned the defeat by Ireland (0-3) at the final whistle, and his side go into Thursday’s third League B game with zero points. The Israeli press demand his resignation<\/a> after two defeats in two games, one goal scored in 180 minutes, six conceded; one daily now writes that a defeat would seal the national team’s fate. In Debrecen, where Israel play their “home” matches, the coach should still be on the bench.<\/p>\n

His record: eight wins in twenty-two matches. “The responsibility lies 100% with the players”, replied Dasa; Solomon called it “a shame”.<\/p>\n

What the recent matches say<\/h2>\n

Israel’s come from World Cup qualifiers and friendlies; in this League B, the only competitive win between the two belongs to Kosovo, that 1-0 against Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A reshuffle, not yet a system<\/h2>\n

On the eve, Ben Shimon has still not settled his shape or several positions: a back four or three centre-backs: the official sheet picks four. Two dailies in agreement expect Tai Baribo to start in attack<\/a> and Dor Peretz to return; the dailies were right on those names, and the eleven splits the rest: Nachmias and Shlomo start together, Dasa does not, Solomon and Abada are in (ynet<\/a>). Relearning your zone three days before kick-off costs: the half-second lost on a marking opens a goal.<\/p>\n

Kosovo arrive with their core: Zhegrova, Rashica, Muriqi and Asllani are all present, and the federation called up Erblin Osmani, 17, trained at the Bayern academy<\/a>, along with Dion Kacuri. Muriqi wears the armband for this window.<\/p>\n

What is missing on both sides<\/h2>\n
