Paul Souza in Basel has a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Watzlik

Defender: Sahakashar Suhi Safari

Midfielder: Fabian Freyernegash Zufi
Forward: Streller Gonzalez

This lineup has not changed much from the last round of Basel's home game. It seems that the last draw against Liverpool made Paul Sosa more confident.

But today's game is destined to be different from the previous round. From the beginning of the game, Liverpool's offensive was very fast and there was no temptation at all. The midfielder lacked a playmaker. The way of playing is very direct, either direct long pass to find both sides or Zhang Yuan in the middle.

And the opponent Basel Paul Sosa did not want to use offensive football to give Liverpool a little color as he said before the battle. He chose a relatively conservative strategy, and his attack on the offensive end was also very concise and clear. way of playing.

Since both sides have such styles, it is doomed that it is impossible to be conservative in this game. Paulo Sousa soon discovered that this is not the rhythm he wants, really not what he wants. He hopes that Liverpool can stabilize their minds and attack slowly. In short, the result is that the opponent is not like this, just look for the front point directly. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it. Anyway, Liverpool’s formation is not too high.

Because Basel’s shots are also very simple, and they don’t pay much attention to ball control. Therefore, Paul Sosa found that the defensive counterattack he expected was not played. He is good or not!
Paulo Sousa stood on the sidelines and observed for a while, but he didn't say anything. Taking the initiative to control the ball was not what he thought. Although he also admired the ball-holding style of play, Basel didn't have that kind of midfield strength. Pursuing that way, the consequence is very likely to be intercepted and then Liverpool will play a quick on-the-spot attack. You must know that Liverpool's frontcourt players have that kind of strength.

Hypia has no intention of changing his mind. In fact, the current game is monotonous because of its simplicity. It seems that it is entirely a matter of personal ability. It depends on whose player is more reliable. Hypia is confident that the striker led by Zhang Yuan will definitely be better than The other party is good.

Of course, such a situation also brings hidden dangers to Liverpool. The rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions is fast. Although Liverpool is a Premier League team, they are also not guaranteed to be able to do well in the transition.

The first 20 minutes were spent in such chaos. Both sides had chances, but no one could do anything to the other. The Anfield fans were terrified and sighed with a shot from time to time.

Liverpool fans regretted an attack from Liverpool's side, and at the same time worried about Basel's attack. The attack rhythm is very fast. They can all stand in the defensive position, and there are opportunities for Basel.

"Hurry up and score a goal!" Liverpool fans thought.

So the goal really came, but it was Basel!

In the 24th minute, Fabian Frey dunked Lucas at the front of the penalty area and hit the wall with Zufi. Frey left the goal and the ball went straight to the lower right corner. Basel away 1-0 Liverpool.

The positioning of the Liverpool players is not bad, but after all, Lucas is in such a state after being injured, it is really difficult to guarantee. Today, he finally started again. Hypia originally expected him to play a big role in defense, but it turned out that he was like this again. The point was passed and failed to stop Frey's follow-up, causing Liverpool a big problem.

Zhang Yuan saw the whole process in front of him, shook his head helplessly, said nothing, time and fate? !Why is Liverpool's defense so weak? !I can't figure it out and I can't figure it out!

In such a critical game, Liverpool obviously needed a victory but conceded the goal first. The heart of Liverpool fans hanging in their chests almost fell to the ground.

The morale of the Liverpool players was even a bit low. Many people were thinking about a problem and conceded the ball again!

And this ball was not a counterattack, but a positional battle after Basel took possession of the ball. Basel forcibly tore apart Liverpool's defense line in this way. Their rare positional battle attack in the first half, such a ball hit Liverpool's defensive confidence a bit. Originally, defense was one of the main reasons for Liverpool's criticism this season.

Paul Sosa waved his fist excitedly. Liverpool had never lost a match against a Swiss team at home before, but Basel also had a remarkable achievement. They were not afraid of facing an English team at home. Once drew with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

There is no doubt that the first goal today gave Basel a favorable opportunity!

After occupying such an advantage, Paulo Sousa hurriedly let his team play a complete defensive counterattack. This posture is also deliberately done by him, the purpose is to attract Liverpool's pressure. Now Liverpool must score goals, and can no longer With a single method like before, more people must be invested in the frontcourt, otherwise how can they face Basel's intensive defense.

Sure enough, as Paul Sosa expected, Hyypia's team began to attack aggressively, and the way of attack changed. This was Liverpool's helpless reaction, and Basel's defensive counterattack started. At least it is not what it is now. With a deep retreat, now it is completely a posture of a bus, not allowing Liverpool not to invest in troops, and Liverpool's ball possession rate has begun to increase steadily.

After the team scored a goal, Zhang Yuan became more and more irritable. He was very anxious. Whenever he saw the bus, he had a headache. Breaking the bus always said that it was a worldwide problem, it was a problem for Liverpool, and it was also a problem. his problem.

He seemed very stubborn at the moment. After getting the ball from the outside, he chose direct long-range shots two or three times, and the effect was very unsatisfactory.

"This won't work!" Hypia slandered Zhang Yuan's method in his heart, and he could shoot long shots. There is no problem with this. The problem is that Zhang Yuan's mentality is impatient, and one of them can pass the ball to Sterling!

But after thinking about it, Hyypia just smiled wryly, why is he in a hurry now, the time left for Liverpool is really running out!
Following the whistle of the Dutch referee Kupels, the first half ended and the siege of Basel lasted for more than 10 minutes. Liverpool failed to break through the opponent's gate after all, and the score could only be kept at 0:1 helplessly!

Zhang Yuan returned to the locker room with a dark face. Anyone who is not stupid can tell that Zhang Yuan is very unhappy. No one touches his bad luck. The word-of-mouth in the Liverpool dressing room has always been very good, but today the situation is different. Who knows if Zhang Yuan will go crazy. Superstars sometimes take their anger out on their teammates. They are not afraid of returning home, but now I ask who has such a mood To touch the eyebrows, every player who entered the locker room felt bad!
Hyypia is still encouraging everyone with words. Any tactics at this time are nonsense. The most important thing is to let the Liverpool players regain their confidence and make the army fighting!
"In the first half, sometimes our offense was too messy. Basel's defense was very tenacious. We need to be patient and not impatient. The long-range shots from the outside also depend on the timing..." Hyypia glanced at Zhang Yuan like this Distribution of tactical arrangements.

There is something in the words. Everyone understands that this is Zhang Yuan. In the first half, Zhang Yuan frequently tried to use long-range shots to open the situation, but they all failed. The long-range shots were not effective. He should have given up this attempt long ago. .

Zhang Yuan also heard Hypia's blame, but he didn't lose his temper. There was no reason. Looking back, he was not very reliable. Frequent long-range failures were not just as simple as not scoring goals, but a This kind of behavior of breaking away from the organization. Originally, the teammates worked hard to move, but you just didn't pass the ball, let them run for nothing, and then fired anti-aircraft guns yourself. This will make the teammates feel distrustful. Maybe next time When you want to pass the ball, you can't find a good exit point.

After Hypia finished speaking, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to stand up.

"Can I say a few words?!"
