Chapter 055: Stalemate
Kaisa can understand Latour's arrangement, who makes him strong in assists? The team has to rely on him at critical moments.
Kaisa's role in the team is a bit like Everton's Wayne Rooney. At the age of 16, he fought in the Premier League, and his starting point was much higher than Kaisa. And his debut is the pinnacle, attracting countless eye-catchers, Manchester United spent £27 million to buy this summer, setting a record for young transfer fees.
Wait, Rooney joined Manchester United later than Dong Fangbiao...... Dong joined Manchester United in January, but failed to make it to the Premier League, and Wayne Rooney only officially joined in September 2004.
Kaisa is actually a little helpless in the face of Latour's arrangement, the team has no other obvious strengths, and it is actually difficult to play this season, but after he joined, everything has changed, which has put him under a lot of pressure.
Basel is not easy to deal with, and the Grasshoppers want to compete for the championship, and they are the biggest opponents. If we can win this game, we will be in the lead in the second half of the season, and there is still room for mistakes, and the hope of winning the championship will undoubtedly be higher.
The key Grasshoppers are also 2 points less than Basel, and the win is 1 point higher, and they can only win.
At the beginning of the second half, Basel made a substitution, and even replaced a striker, ready to attack away.
Kipaffet comes on to replace midfielder Kippefield. Kipafit is an Australian player who played in the 2006 World Cup and was killed by the great Italy, who was not alone.
Of course, Kipafit is also a versatile player, who can play at left-back, left-midfield or in midfield, and his positional agency is almost comparable to that of Kaisa.
After he came on, Gimenez and Rossi were clearly much more active, and Basel had too many points to play. On the contrary, the Grasshoppers' defense is much more difficult and the pressure is not small.
Within a minute, Gimenez had a shot on goal, but it was disrupted by Kaisa. Kaisa obviously felt the pressure from his teammates, and he wanted to win and was afraid of losing, so he naturally couldn't play at all levels.
Kaisa had no choice but to motivate his teammates on the field and take over the duties of the captain. Well, the captain of the main team, Smirjanic, was struggling to defend and he was watching from the sidelines.
However, Smirjanic didn't care, he was not good at boosting morale, destroying the ball and immediately hanging it forward.
Guerrero got the ball and didn't rush to attack, but made a backward pass to Cabanas to break the opponent's counter-attack. Cabanas returned to Guerrerio and exchanged pass success rates.
At this time, Kaisa also assisted, Guerrerio felt at ease, what he was waiting for was at this point in time, I didn't expect it to break the counter-robbery or something just now!
Kaisa consciously strengthens the anti-robbery of his teammates in his usual training, and it will be a popular thing in the future, we have to train more, and his teammates are a little used to it.
"Rush!" Kaisa got the ball and went forward, shaking Gimenez away again.
Gimenez's performance was nothing compared to his pre-match comments, and no one believed he had what it took to challenge Kaisa. It's too bad, not only can't find a chance in the whole game, but even the offensive performance was blown up by Kaisa.
You know, Gimenez is an offensive player and hardly has to defend.
Kaisa didn't see a good opportunity, and he wasn't greedy for credit, and he didn't play casually, sticking to the ball and passing it to Alfonso. Alfonso was strong and leaning on the defender, and out of the corner of his eye saw Guerrerio cut forward and the ball was delivered accurately.
Guerrerio shoots!
It's too positive, and it was obtained by Zubebul. Of course, this wave of attacks made Basel break out in a cold sweat, and the counterattack was too sharp. Especially Kaisa's advancement, which is simply inhumane, with the speed of a striker, and the skill of a winger, you are actually a fullback?
The game is still going on, the two sides still can't create better chances, if the draw ends and Basel is still ahead, they are more eager for a draw and gradually increase their defensive efforts.
In the 60th minute of the game, Latour finally made an adjustment, replacing Cabanas, who had physical problems, and replaced striker Zarate, who was also going to work hard.
Latour is known as the "Heathfield second", not in vain, dare to fight at critical moments, and players often explode with huge combat effectiveness.
But today seemed to have been restrained, and after Zarate came on, Basel's Kipafit gradually retreated to protect the midfield.
The Grasshoppers' offense was a bit crowded, with few options, and Kaisa got off the ball several times, but was controlled by Basel's players and failed to create absolute shooting opportunities.
As the minutes ticked by, Kai gritted his teeth, commanded Jeff, and switched sides to defend. I'll go to the left, and you go to the right.
Anyway, now Gimenez doesn't dare to fight against Kaisa, every time he gets the ball, he changes positions to find Jeff, trying to break through from here. Kaisa's transposition is more like protecting the defensive line.
Even Latour is a little unable to see through Kaisa's thoughts, Kaisa will provoke Gimenez on the field, but Gimenez behaved a lot in the second half, took the initiative to avoid Kaisa's beating, and looked completely cowardly, is it necessary to kill them all?
Basel coach Gross is a little nervous, he has seen a lot of videos, the success rate and accuracy of Kaisa's cross from the left is far better than that of the right, could it be that he wants to cross?
In the face of Kaisa, he didn't dare to be bold, and immediately replaced, and he changed two people in a row to defend Kaisa. And the requirement is that no set-pieces can be given anyway.
In the last ten minutes, as long as this time passes, Basel can get at least one point, and the standings are still a two-point lead, and it will be up to the Grasshoppers to overtake.
Facing the siege of two or three people, Kaisa couldn't give full play to his advantages, so he could only give the ball to other players, "Damn, am I so good?" ”
Kaisa is very depressed, Basel can occupy the top spot, the head coach is very powerful! Even Kaisa's set-pieces began to be blocked, and he didn't penalize many set-pieces himself!
On the left set-piece, Kaisa has only made less than 5 penalties, but two of them have formed assists, and the strong success rate of assists has been focused on by the head coach of the Swiss Super League team.
"You can't use your strength, can you? We've focused on you. Gaga...... "Gimenez was very proud when he saw Kaisa's predicament.
He didn't have a chance at all in this game, and he had to find some game anyway. I was depressed for the whole game, and I was about to see the moon when the clouds opened.
However, a breakthrough by Kaisa brought huge chaos to Basel, and the players who followed him were a little distracted, and Kaisa fell to the ground in response.
The referee blows the whistle, set-piece!
Gross shouted, more annoyed than the players, he defended most of the game, and he was about to pass the dangerous moment, but he didn't expect to come here.
But fortunately, the set-piece position is relatively positive, and Kaisa is not easy to get off the foot. He watched for a moment and conceded to Menezes to take the set-piece. Kaisa ran to the wall and prepared to attack.
Gross hurriedly instructed the players to keep an eye on Kaisa, and at the critical moment, Kaisa could not be allowed to mess up. Gimenez is very proud, his height is better than Kaisa, as long as he defends closely, it is not a problem.
Kaisa didn't run, just stood in the middle of the wall, and Gimenez and the new Kipafit came to take care of him. Gimenez even pressed Kaisa a little to prevent him from jumping high.
At this time, Menezes kicked the ball, which was the point of Kaisa. Gimenez was smug, and Kipafit stealthily tugged at Kaysa's clothes, and then Gimenez headed the ball.
It may be that Menezes took care of Kaisa and drove a very low set-piece, Gimenez easily got it, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and the opportunity to make a contribution came.
