One Thousand and Forty Is Still Getting Stronger!
Situ Yunbing led his team to Switzerland and challenged Basel as a guest.
In the first round of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Basel faced the champions of the Champions League in the past four years at home. The mood is very complicated.
They want to create a miracle and enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so it is a necessary condition to achieve a dominant result or a balanced result at home!
Nobody believed they could pull off a miracle at Anfield and beat Liverpool, maybe they didn't either.
But if they want to beat at home or get a 0:0 draw, any draw with goals is extremely unfavorable to them, but how to get such a result is definitely very difficult!
If they took the initiative, they might have been eliminated after the first round. It is absolutely impossible for Basel's defense to block the impact of Liverpool's striker in the context of space.
If they compress the defensive space to defend, it may be difficult for them to find a way to break through Liverpool's goal.
When a weak team faces a strong team, thinking too much is easy to make a cocoon, so Basel finally put on a defensive counterattack posture at home and strengthened the defense.
Liverpool came to the away game with all the main force. This weekend they returned to their homeland to play the FA Cup. Their opponent is Sheffield United, so Liverpool can have room for rotation.
Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines directing the game, and Liverpool officially launched a new tactic from this game.
From the start of the game, Liverpool attacked on the right. Mbappe's personal possession time became longer, and Eriksson and Casemiro were escorted near him, with Alexander-Arnold behind him and Kanter in charge of the far end. defense.
The tactics developed around Mbappe will naturally not be as simple as simply handing over the ball to him.
When Basel had to spend more troops to encircle and block Mbappe's possession area, Liverpool's center and left attack had more space.
In the 19th minute of the game, Mbappe was caught in a pincer state in the front right of the penalty area. He had just passed a defensive player, and it was more like he had stepped into the defensive trap set by Basel.
But Mbappe hit the ball back with his heel when he was in a tight siege and sent the ball to Arnold's running line. The latter crossed the ball to find Robertson who assisted him from the left. After the latter stopped the ball, he decisively sent a through pass. ball.
Today, Situ Yunbing did not step on Gareth Bale, but activated Griezmann, who cut into the left side of the penalty area after anti-offside,
When the ball is touched, it is knocked horizontally, and the football rolls to the middle of the goal.
Lewandowski outflanked and fired the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
Liverpool head start away!
Situ Yunbing applauded on the sidelines, but he was not too excited.
Using Mbappé as the core of the frontcourt attack to achieve the effect of point-to-point, this is to replace Liverpool's past style of repeatedly shifting offense and tearing up the opponent's defense. In fact, the purpose is still the same, which is to create a better offensive environment for other local attacks and space conditions!
It is not around Mbappé, the offensive advancement depends on him, and the end of the opponent also depends on him.
That would just wear him out and sap the team's offense.
The reason for not being excited is that the opponent is only Basel, not Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich...
If he could play so easily against stronger opponents, he would actually laugh out loud.
But in the end, be sensible.
Basel conceded a goal at home, a situation that they tried to avoid in their pre-match preparations happened.
Now they can only improve the quality of offense while defending cautiously at home, and try to seize the opportunities created.
But Liverpool may not give them many chances.
After the goal, Liverpool maintained the intensity and pressure on Basel.
The style of play with Mbappe as the core of the offense is more direct and rough!
In the 34th minute of the game, Mbappe was knocked to the ground by his opponent after breaking through with a ball on the right side of the front court.
Before Mbappe got up, Arnold, who rushed up behind him, put the ball right and quickly took a free kick.
The free kick he took came to the middle of the penalty area, and Eriksson kicked the ball over the top to pass to the left side of the penalty area.
Griezmann quickly cuts in to meet the ball and rushes to the top!
The football goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
The goalkeeper is helpless!
The generals in Basel suddenly lost their minds.
Griezmann turned and rushed to the stands of the visiting fans, while beckoning to Eriksson.
The Red Army generals surrounded Griezmann to congratulate him on his goal.
Griezmann, who joined the team last summer with a worth of 88 million pounds, has not become the absolute main force in Liverpool's team after most of the season, although the statistics are not bad.
Situ Yunbing gave Griezmann enough time and took off the huge pressure for him!
These two points allow Griezmann to better adapt to Liverpool and integrate into the team.
Now let Griezmann start some important games, he will play better.
Situ Yunbing knew very well that from next season onwards, Liverpool's striker needs to rely on Griezmann instead of pinning their hopes on Gareth Bale.
At the same time, combined with the further maturity of Sane, Lewandowski is over 30 years old, and the replacement of Liverpool's striker can be carried out in an orderly manner.
Gareth Bell, who relies on explosive power for food, suffered a serious injury the year before. Although he can still play his remaining heat in the team, his playing time will gradually decrease in order to perform better in the game.
At the same time, it is also obvious that Gareth Bale seldom sees Gareth Bale forcefully overpowering opponents in the game, and more is relying on experience to run interspersed to seize opportunities.
An era will pass, prepared or not.
A new age will come, with or without awareness.
Basel fell behind by two goals at home, and their mentality began to become impatient.
More fouls were committed and two of their players were booked before the end of the first half.
During the intermission, Situ Yunbing made some adjustments to his style of play in the second half.
In the second half, players from both sides returned to the field and changed sides to fight again.
When Mbappe has already played a threat in the first half, Basel's marking of him will be tighter, which is absolutely foreseeable.
The adjustment made by Situ Yunbing means to strengthen Arnold's aggressiveness in assists on the wing.
In the 59th minute of the game, he was still on the right side of the frontcourt. When Mbappe was in a tight siege, he lightly passed the ball to the area in front of the bottom line on the side. Arnold quickly went down to the bottom line and stopped the ball before adjusting. ball.
Mbappe quickly cut inside after the ball was out. Although Arnold's pass was blocked by the Basel defender first, it flew to Mbappe by accident. The goalkeeper was caught off guard!
Although the goalkeeper subconsciously saved and touched the football, it still failed to change the ending of the football flying into the goal.
Liverpool lead Basel by three goals away!
This almost announced the elimination of Basel!
Even if there is still half an hour left in this game and there is still a second-round contest.
The game has been opened up to this point.
There is no need for Liverpool to be obsessed with the tactical arrangement before the opening. The overall speed of passing the ball is accelerated, and there is no problem with more players playing freely.
Situ Yunbing also started to make substitutions, and Sane replaced Mbappe.
Basel was suppressed by Liverpool from the beginning of the game. It was indeed in a struggling and uncomfortable situation for a long time, trying to perform, but the gap in strength made them feel powerless.
In the last few minutes of the game, it seemed that the game was about to end, but Basel made a pass error in the midfield, which allowed Liverpool to play another wave of wonderful fast breaks. Under the inside foot, the latter's spike changed to an inward cut to form a single-handed attack. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Sane chose to pass the ball to Griezmann who followed up. The latter easily pushed the empty goal and succeeded.
After Griezmann's goal, he took the initiative to hug Sane.
Liverpool once again showed the outside world the team's team and team spirit on the field.
The home fans look mournful, facing the 0:4 score on the scoreboard, they are really ashamed.
Unfortunately, there are no miracles in Basel today.
In the Champions League, a stage where hard power speaks, it is already a great success for Basel to qualify for the group stage, but it may be difficult to surpass the mountain of the defending champion.
In fact, even if today's opponent is not Liverpool, but the top of other groups, even if Basel can maintain the suspense of promotion at home, they will probably die in the second round.
So if you want to say how much regret they will have, I am afraid it is not necessarily true. It is a relatively weak team in the top 16. Elimination is only in line with the most basic expectations in the world. There will be upsets, but not every day.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to shake hands with the Basel coach after the game, briefly exchanged a few words with the opponent, patted the opponent's arm as if encouraging, then turned and walked towards the player tunnel.
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing praised the team's performance and was also satisfied with Mbappe's performance today.
"It may seem to the outside world that even if Liverpool come to the away game, we have a high probability of winning and won the game very easily. The current result also confirms that most people's predictions before the game are correct.
However, it is difficult for the outside world to understand the pressure brought by Liverpool's frequent schedule this season and the physical consumption of the whole team. As the defending champion, it is only their duty to perform well.
But in fact, I am very grateful to the players for their dedication. In order not to disappoint the fans and themselves, they have never wavered in their determination to pursue their goals. In the process of moving forward under pressure, we have worked hard to maintain the best performance. It is not easy .
The outside world may not realize that Liverpool is still improving, because as long as Liverpool wins, everything else doesn't matter.
But as the head coach, I have put forward new requirements for the team, and they are working hard to implement them and reflect them in the game. This in itself proves that we still have not lowered our requirements for ourselves!
We are still getting stronger! "
