Every coach will say that I have a way to limit Zhang Yuan, Messi, and Ronaldo, but in fact, many times there is no way, because they are not in a team alone, like Liverpool Sterling is a fast horse, Coutinho is also a dexterous player, even if the state is not good, Basel needs to be distracted to deal with them and prevent the front three from tandem.

However, even if Zhang Yuan can still bring a threat to Basel, the first goal is scored by Basel at home, in the 18th minute, Lovren was shaken by Elneny, Elneny hit the far corner on the left side of the penalty area, Mignolet could not save, the ball refracted by his hand or drilled into the door of Liverpool.

Basel at home leads Liverpool 1-0, Rodgers's face is even more ugly, this is a real personal mistake, Lovren was proposed by Rodgers to buy, but in such a crucial game there was such a fatal mistake, Rodgers felt very uncomfortable.

After conceding the goal, Liverpool's morale was even more depressed, even the attack in the front court was playing more and more lifeless, Zhang Yuan felt isolated in front of him, Coutinho and Sterling now chose to go it alone, Zhang Yuan did not doubt their attitude, but he was very suspicious of their way, but he really didn't blame them for anything, for fear that he would say too much, but it would affect their enthusiasm, some things should still be said by Rodgers, but Rodgers seemed to be a little confused and didn't say anything.

At the end of the half, Liverpool suffered another blow, in the 44th minute, Basel got a corner kick on the right side, after they took a corner, Skrtel made a serious mistake, inaccurate judgment of the landing point, obviously the end, but the ball was pushed towards the goal, Mignolet hurriedly turned sideways, with his hands to save the ball, but several Basel players in the penalty area arrived at the same time, Basel captain Strehler fell to the ground to make up for the shot, and once again sent the ball into Liverpool's net.

Liverpool, who are playing away, has fallen behind 0:2, and many fans in front of the TV have despaired.

Zhang Yuan couldn't believe his eyes, standing in the forbidden area and looking up at the sky of Basel, what the hell, what's going on?!

There are frequent low-level mistakes in defense, frequent passing errors, and actually falling behind Basel in terms of ball control, Zhang Yuan can't believe that this is the real strength of his team.

However, the numbers speak for themselves, with Basel dominating and Liverpool dominating.

At half-time, the good-natured Rodgers couldn't help but shout at the team's performance, everyone lowered their heads, Lovren and Skrtel felt wronged, and they also regretted their poor performance.

In fact, such a poor performance is not without reason, it is not only Rodgers who is under great pressure, Liverpool's players are also under great pressure, Basel itself is a strange opponent for Liverpool, facing Basel who dares to play and rush, Liverpool players are inevitably nervous under heavy pressure, mistakes are not impossible, but Basel uses it very well.

Zhang Yuan also sat in the locker room with a gloomy face, thinking in his mind, what can I do?!

How can we salvage this defeat for the team?!

At the beginning of the second half, Paulo Sousa did not mean to let go, and continued to ask Basel to fight, Brendan Rodgers's rebuke on Liverpool's side did not have any effect, and the players continued to want to help the team in their own way, some people could not do it, and some people could do it.

Coutinho and Sterling are still working tirelessly, but the effect is not good, Zhang Yuan is also trying, when Coutinho lost the ball again, Zhang Yuan finally couldn't help it, he grabbed Coutinho and said to him: "Felipe, we can't play like this! It's too loose! The three of us must form a tandem between them, otherwise one person alone will not be able to pose a threat to them!"

Coutinho looked at Zhang Yuan and nodded, his player, when he was in good shape, the passing and shooting outside the penalty area were impeccable, but the various goals lost in poor condition, the shooting was even more outrageous, and it was only beginning to look like today, with the impatience of the mentality, the players in Basel know more and more how to defend him, and Coutinho's threatening ability has decreased a lot.

Zhang Yuan spoke, Coutinho was not happy to listen, but there was no way but to listen!

When Zhang Yuan was no longer lonely and an effective connection between the three was established, Basel's life was sad again.

In the 59th minute, Zhang Yuan got the ball in the midfield, under the cover of the two wings, led wildly all the way, and made several gestures to divide the side, but it flashed, so that Basel couldn't figure out his thoughts, and when he reached the periphery of the penalty area, in the face of the interception of the two central defenders, Zhang Yuan divided the ball.

Raheem Sterling showed his solitary side again, obviously defending, and he forced it to shoot right under people's noses.

He was lucky enough to cut through Gonzalez's crotch and head straight for Basel goalkeeper Waklik's back corner, who reacted quickly to keep the ball out, but Coutinho cut in from the back post and picked up an empty chance in the box to get Liverpool back a point.

Liverpool's morale was lifted a bit after the goal, and Paulo Sousa finally changed his team's tactics, retreating from the whole body and starting to swing the bus in his own half.

Liverpool took advantage of this momentum to start attacking wildly, Paulo Sosa is not a vegetarian, Liverpool for a while, really can't take the opponent, everyone has made a lot of attempts, long-range shots, breakthroughs in a small space, shots, too many times blocked.

Rodgers also brought on Balotelli in the 70-plus minutes, replacing Raheem Sterling, Coutinho became a striker, and Zhang Yuan and Balotelli played a two-centre-forward strategy.

Liverpool's full-backs began to frequently insert assists, and crosses began to increase, but Balotelli and Zhang Yuan did not take much advantage in this regard, and had headers on goal, but under the close defense of Basel's two major central defenders, Schal and Susi, they did not play particularly well.

Liverpool were unable to equalise until the final whistle blew at St Jakob's Park, where they lost to Swiss Super League champions Basel, which was not a good result for Liverpool, who were determined to go far in the Champions League, and even less for Brendan Rodgers.

'We played hard today but the team wasn't in great shape and the players looked tired in successive games! They were obviously more prepared than we were! I'm disappointed with the result, we had a lot of chances in the second half but we couldn't take them!' Brendan Rodgers summed up in his post-match press conference.

"Mr. Rogers, is it true that if you lose this game, you will be out of class?!" a reporter asked.

"No! I've never heard anything from the top and I have a good relationship with the team!" Rodgers said.

"Will you resign?!Liverpool have been in a bit of a bad situation lately, with you already nine points behind Chelsea at the top of the league and a less than satisfactory result in the Champions League!" the reporter continued to dwell on the subject.

'I'm not going to quit, I'm going to keep going!' I have confidence in the team, I have faith in myself, and I'm sure soon we'll be less regular!' replied Rodgers.

Far away in Shanghai, China, Qian Huan just watched this game, this game Liverpool's entire team looked like they wanted everything they wanted to win, but the team failed to do it, Qian Huan felt that it really needed to change.

"Ian, you are in charge of the competitive side of the team! Now the situation of the team needs someone to take responsibility! You know what I mean! Mr. Rodgers's performance really disappointed me, we spent a lot of money to build a championship division, instead of fighting for the fourth place in the league every year and studying with the prince in the Champions League! I think he is very unsuitable to continue to be the head coach of the team! What do you think?!" Qian Huan's tone was not discussing.

What else does Ian Al on the other end of the phone have to say, this fucking can't let me get out of class by myself, the grades are like this, and I'm really looking for a scapegoat, and the head coach is undoubtedly the best.

He hurriedly agreed, telling Qian Huan that he would have a good talk with Rogers, and everyone broke up amicably and peacefully.
