Forward: Stray Gonzalez

The line-up hasn't changed much from the previous round at home in Basel, and it seems that the draw against Liverpool in the last game has left Paul Brown. Sosa is more confident.

But today's game is destined to be different from the previous round, the game began, Liverpool's offensive was very fast, there was no temptation at all, the midfield lacked an organizational core, and Hyypia did not pay attention to ball control at all, and the offensive style of play was very direct, either directly with a long pass to find both sides or Zhang Yuan in the middle.

And the opponent Basel Paul. Sosa didn't want to give Liverpool a little bit of color with attacking football, as he said before the game, he chose a relatively conservative strategy, and his attacking attack was also a very simple and clear style of play.

Since both sides are in this style, it is destined that this game is simply impossible to be conservative. Sosa soon found out that this was not the rhythm he wanted, it was really not what he wanted, he hoped that Liverpool could stabilize his mind and attack slowly, but the opponent was either like this, or directly looking for the point in front, it didn't matter if he couldn't find it, anyway, Liverpool's formation was not too high, and it was a big deal to block in the midfield and backfield, and then intercept the ball back.

Because Basel's ball is also very simple, and he doesn't pay much attention to ball control, so Paul. Sosa found that the expected defensive counterattack did not come out, as if neither side wanted the ball, and it was never detouring to get the space to shoot, whether he was good or not!

Paul. Sosa stood on the sidelines and observed for a while, and did not say that it was not what he thought about taking the initiative to control the ball, although he also admired the possession style of play, but Basel did not have that midfield strength, and the hard pursuit of that way, the consequence was very likely to be tackled and then Liverpool played a quick on-the-spot attack, you must know that Liverpool's frontcourt has that kind of strength.

Hyypia has no idea of changing, in fact, now this game is monotonous because of its simplicity, it seems that it is completely a fight for personal ability, it depends on whose player is more reliable, Hyypia is confident that the forward line led by Zhang Yuan is definitely better than the opponent.

Of course, this situation also brings hidden dangers to Liverpool, the pace of offensive and defensive transitions is fast, and although Liverpool is a Premier League team, it is also not guaranteed to be able to do well in the conversion.

The first 20 minutes were spent in such chaos, with both sides having chances, but neither could help the other, and the Anfield fans watched in horror and sighed from time to time with a shot on goal.

Liverpool fans are not only sorry for a goal attack on Liverpool's side, but also worried about Basel's goal, the attacking tempo is fast, although Liverpool has enough personnel in the backfield, but with the movement up and down, they can not stand in a good defensive position every time, giving Basel a chance.

"Let's score a goal!" Liverpool fans thought so.

So the goal did come, but it was Basel!

In the 24th minute, Fabian. Frei hit the wall with Zuffe after smashing past Lucas at the edge of the penalty area, and Frei left the ball went straight to the bottom right corner to give Basel 1-0 Liverpool.

The position of the Liverpool players is not bad, but after all, Lucas is in the back of the injury, this form is really difficult to guarantee, today finally started again, Hyypia was counting on him to play hard in defense, but he was passed by this again, failed to stop Frei's follow-up, causing Liverpool big problems.

Zhang Yuan saw the whole process in front, shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything. Why is Liverpool's defence so weak?! I can't figure it out and I can't figure it out!

In such a crucial game, Liverpool obviously needed a win but conceded the first goal, and the heart of the Liverpool fans hanging in their chests was almost falling to the ground.

The Liverpool players are even more demoralized, and many people are thinking about a problem, conceding goals again!

And this goal is not a counterattack, but a positional battle after Basel has the ball, Basel is so forced to tear apart Liverpool's defense, in the first half of their rare positional battle attack, such a ball is a bit of a blow to Liverpool's defensive confidence, originally defense is one of the main reasons for Liverpool's criticism this season.

Paul. Sousa flicked his fist excitedly, Liverpool had not lost at home to a Swiss side before, but Basel also had a remarkable achievement, and they were not afraid to face England at home, having drawn Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in recent years.

There was no doubt that the first goal was scored today, giving Basel a favorable advantage!

After taking such an advantage, Paul. Sosa hurriedly let his team fully launch a defensive counter-attacking style of play, this posture is also deliberately done by him, in order to attract Liverpool's press, now Liverpool must score, can no longer be as single as before, must invest more people in the front, otherwise how to face Basel's dense defense.

Sure enough, Paul was not born. Sosa's anticipation, Hyypia's team began to press on the attack aggressively, and the way of attacking also changed, which was Liverpool's helpless reaction, and only then did Basel's defensive counterattack not retreat as deep as it is now, and now it is completely a bus posture, and Liverpool cannot afford not to invest troops, and Liverpool's possession rate began to climb steadily.

Zhang Yuan became more and more impatient after the team scored a goal, he was very anxious, he had a headache when he saw the bus, and he always said that it was a world problem, a problem for Liverpool, and a problem for him.

At this time, he seemed very stubborn, and after taking the ball on the periphery, he chose to shoot directly from a distance two or three times, and the effect was very unsatisfactory.

"That's not going to work!" Hyypia slandered Zhang Yuan in his heart that he could shoot from a distance, which was no problem, the problem was that Zhang Yuan's mentality was impatient, and one of them could pass the ball to Sterling!

But after thinking about it, Hyypia smiled bitterly, he was not in a hurry at this time, there was really not much time left for Liverpool!

With 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 door after all, and the score could only be helplessly kept at 0:1!

Zhang Yuan returned to the locker room with a black face, as long as he was not stupid, he could see that Zhang Yuan's heart was very unhappy, no one touched his moldy head, there are not many players who are afraid of whom, and Zhang Yuan has always had a very good reputation in the Liverpool dressing room, but today the situation is different, who knows if Zhang Yuan will go crazy, superstar, sometimes anger to teammates, not afraid to return, but now try to ask who has such a mood to touch the eyebrows, saying that every player who enters the locker room feels uncomfortable!

Hyypia is still inspiring everyone with words, what tactics are arranged at this time is nonsense, the most important thing is to let Liverpool's players regain their confidence and make the army fightable!

"In the first half, sometimes our attack was too messy, Basel's defense was tenacious, we need to be patient, we can't be impatient, and the long-range shots on the periphery also depend on timing......," Hyypia glanced at Zhang Yuan.

This is something in the words, everyone understands that this is Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan frequently tried to open the situation with long-range shots in the first half, but they all failed, the long-range shooting effect was not ideal, he should have given up this attempt a long time ago.

Zhang Yuan also heard Hyypia's blame, but he didn't go crazy, there was no reason, recall that he was not very reliable, frequent long-range shot failures are not just as simple as not scoring goals, but a kind of behavior out of the organization, originally teammates worked hard to run, but you just don't pass the ball, let people run for nothing, and then put their own anti-aircraft guns, which will make teammates have a sense of distrust, and the next time maybe you can't find a good point when you want to pass.

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

"Can I say a few words?!"
