81. Advance to the main round 2
After all, Ledesma is only a little over 22 years old, and Serie A has indeed been mixed for some days, but this is really the first time in an intercontinental competition, and the experience is zero, and the other players of Trapani have been together for a long time, and there is no experience at least there is a run-in, and Ledesma lacks both, so he is nervous and his technical movements are a little awkward.
Zeman hurriedly sent a message to the pitch and asked Ledesma to hand over the ball to Pizarro to handle, so that Pizarro was slightly higher in the position, and instead of Ledesma as the main passer, Trapani's midfield position changed.
Basel's style of play was still simple, and they were much more dangerous than Trapani in the first 20 minutes, but they were unlucky when striker Petritsic missed two great chances to score and should have been 2-0 up.
Hugo is very dissatisfied with the situation on the field, even if there are two main players missing, it shouldn't be like this, the mentality of the players is too relaxed?!
In the 24th minute, Trapani, who was slightly disadvantaged, took the lead in scoring, Trapani got the ball and launched an attack, attacking the front, Pizarro intended to make a two-one-one match with Ledesma, but Ledesma did not do this, lightly dodged the players who grabbed Basel, advanced about 3 meters forward, and shot directly outside the penalty area.
The quality of his sudden shot was very high, and Basel's backline and goalkeeper did not expect this move, all of them were unprepared, and the Basel goalkeeper moved slowly, and Ledesma seized such an opportunity to score from a distance!
Debut! First goal! The previous play was a bit bad, and Ledesma didn't expect to be really lucky, scoring on his debut, and this goal was very crucial, he helped Trapani to seal a goal at home, and now Basel must score four goals to turn around, and the hope is getting slimmer.
After the goal, Ledesma excitedly took off the fans and ran to the fans screaming, and the fans applauded vigorously to celebrate the goal.
Hugo applauded and teased his grandfather, "Did you see it, did you see it?!" Grandpa, this is the guy who stopped the ball two meters away! ”
"You have such a grudge against your grandfather?!" Pasilio turned white like a young man, and then applauded Ledesma.
If according to Hugo's idea, since Trapani is ahead, he will definitely slow down the pace and slowly follow Basel, but it is not him who sits in the coach's seat but Zeman, Zeman will definitely not do this, he will let the team reduce the tempo and save physical strength, but he will definitely not be satisfied with the ball in the backfield, he still makes the players have the opportunity to boldly press up and use the numerical advantage to impact the opponent's door.
After Basel suffered a goal, the manager was annoyed on the sidelines, and the players looked a little dazed on the field, after all, four goals are not as simple as a number, Trapani is unstable Everyone knows, but four goals, this gap will make anyone look at it will feel very big.
Basel's anti-optic response was not expected, but Zeman's side moved closer to the opposition penalty area, and Klose and Toney's headers both threatened the opposition goal, but the goal was missing.
Basel's head coach cheered his players on the sidelines, and perhaps his words played a role, Basel got back to some anger before half-time, causing some minor problems for Trapani, Di Loreto and Barzagli were not solid, but Kameni was trustworthy enough to block the opponent's shot.
At the end of the half-time period, Trapani went into the dressing room with a good result, but Zeman still has a lot of problems to solve, first of all, this defensive hole, can not make Hugo satisfy the fans, they give the opponent a lot of opportunities, this is the style, Hugo's Trapani last season also gave the opponent a lot of opportunities, but it is definitely not like this.
Zeman's attack was too high for the two full-backs, especially on Marchi's side, because Klose played the role of a pseudo-center forward, he would often swim into the penalty area, more times than Hugo had when he first gave Klose, who was handed over to the wing?! Naturally, it was handed over to full-back Maggio!
It's a tactical issue, but Zeman hasn't changed, and whoever makes his blood gene is attacking.
In the second half, there was no significant difference between the start of the game and the first, with the visitors still dominating a small margin, and Basel had obviously made some targeted set-ups, doing a good job of limiting Trapani's high pressing.
With the continuous loss of time, the spirit of the Basel players is not so sufficient, because they still did not score after 70 minutes, the difficulty of 4 goals is getting higher and higher, seizing such an opportunity, Trapani began to slowly control the situation, Ledesma gradually adjusted his state, Trapani's midfield began to run smoothly, and the next thing is to follow the scripted attacking routine.
Ribery and Evra's side began to exert frequent power, Evra is a winger, as a fullback, but the attacking factor will not be less at all, the midfield lacked tandem in the first half, Ribery had a limited number of times to get the ball, and the threat was not great, at this point, Ribery began to have more opportunities to take the ball, and Zeman's tactical arrangement also deliberately let him hold the ball in the second half.
Patrice and Ribery's side of the set of edges and bottom is almost Basel no way to prevent, both French, the two seem to be very tacit in cooperation, in the 74th minute, Evra's cross, Toni ferried, Klose in front of the goal less than a meter away, the back point cushion shot, Basel goalkeeper had to pick up the ball from the goal nest again.
Behind Klose's celebration was the disappointed expression of the Basel players, who failed to take advantage of their chances, and were so easily scored by Trapani, the dream of the Champions League group stage was gone!
Zeman began to make personnel adjustments, and the two big players on the front line went off the field one after another, Lucarelli and Mascala came into play, but unfortunately after the team took the lead, the players thought of celebrating after the game, and they didn't help them much.
As a result, in the second leg of the qualifying round held at the Barbera Stadium, Trapani defeated Basel at home and crossed into the Champions League group stage with an aggregate score of 6-2.
At the end of the whistle, the Barbera Stadium turned into a sea of joy, last season's fourth place was an unprecedented result, and this time the Champions League is also the most dazzling day in Trapani's 100-year history, and the stadium's live radio broadcast Chou Dong's "Nunchuck" added a cheerful atmosphere to the stadium.
"Well done! Milek! Hugo had already stepped down from the stands and onto the pitch to give a high-five to Klose, the man of the day.
"Well done! Daniel! Hugo hugged Ledesma, "Today is your first appearance, and you score!" Boy! You are our lucky star! ”
Hugo smiled and narrowed his eyes, and Ledesma was embarrassed to say thank you to Hugo.
With the players, the coaching staff, Hugo and everyone hugged and celebrated, to say that today should actually be regarded as the perfect end of last season, the qualification for the Champions League is in hand, and when shaking hands with Zeman, Hugo said: "Mr. Zeman, fortunately you lived up to everyone's efforts last season!" ”
"If I can't even get past this level, then I really shouldn't stay here!" Zeman's expression was serious.
This look made Hugo laugh, you old man, if you really can't even pass this level, it is estimated that there will be few good games to play, the Champions League can get a lot of money, and the League Cup is only a few dollars?!
In the post-match press conference, the Basel manager was full of resignation, believing that his team was lacking in taking advantage of their chances, and that they should have scored two goals early, in which case the situation would have been completely different.
Basel completed nearly 20 shots on goal in the whole game, this data has some moisture, many of the shots are Basel's long-range shots after being impatient, when you can't grasp it in front of the goal, it is necessary to play a long-range shot, you don't see that Ledesma also scored a world wave in the first half to turn the situation around.
Even after throwing a few long-range shots, Zeman's team still allowed the opponent to get more than a dozen shots on goal, which is not so reasonable in Italy, and many times in the game, the Serie A team rarely has 20 times, which shows that Zeman's team has a bit of a problem defensively.
