Southgate will bet on three in defense

England coach Gareth Southgate is now planning to set up a three-defended center line.The mentor is going to test the 3-4-2-1 and 3-5-2 options in the upcoming controls with Germany and Brazil, and the next ones with the Netherlands and Italy.

We have to choose a scheme and try to impose it, to work on it and even to improve it.This may mean some good players will drop out of the squad.We will have to make these decisions in the next few laps. If we want to take the ball out of defense, the option with three central defenders is the best.At the moment it`s too easy to lose the ball so the two central defenders stay alone.Against Lithuania we played with three in the defense and again we were too exposed at the back, so we have to work on it and not lose the ball so easily.However, I think this scheme gives us more stability and easier midfield decisions.We can make changes in some matches and play with two attackers behind each other.Three in the midfield and two central assailants are also a good option.We will certainly rely on three in defense, Southgate said.
