Bad Champions league outing for Liverpool
FC Basel beat Liverpool 1-0 in Switzerland
Liverpool Manager Brendan Rodgers said It was far too soft, the goal that they conceded and it's not the first one. they lose the contact again. The first contact, and it was a very disappointing goal to concede after all the work and all the talking and all the training ground work that they have done so far he said.
"I think it was a game where we never got going in the first 25 minutes. Technically we were, we gave it away too easily and didn't make the passing combinations and then we grew into the game. I thought then we were the better side, we started to shift the ball better and create some chances. We started the second half well, went close on a couple of occasions but when we concede a soft goal like that, it's difficult. Away from home this is a club that's had a great record against English teams but certainly tonight this was an opportunity for us to at least at the very least, to get a point from the game." ~ Brendan Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers said his main objective is to qualify Liverpool to the next round but he is very sure that they will qualify .He said it was a very Disappointing result for them but their next game will be a great occasion for them at Anfield. He said he is looking forward to that now because..in this competition in particular, home games are very very important
"As I said once, we get Daniel Sturridge back and Joe Allen, who's never been mentioned, who's a huge miss for us in terms of his pressure and his intensity and possesion of the ball. Once we get the likes of him back in and the other guys, Emre Can, Glen Johnson, it just makes us a much stronger squad." ~ Brendan Rodgers
FC Basel coach Paulo Sousa said he started with what the game needs and ambition and courage, would like to pass all the time in his game, he said looking to be protagonists to creating, to be offensive, working hard for the team that result. He his happy like all of us, happy because, like He said before, they need to perform at their best and they performed to achieve the glory in the end.
."We were looking to create difficulties for them, probably we surprised them also with integration of some players with different characteristics, where we can, where we needed to have speed velocity and power also because we need to have power. But at the same time intensity in all the game. Provoking, defending well, pressing well but at the same time also to have lots of dynamics which allowed us to achieve a goal as quick as possible. Creating them difficulties and hopefully we score one goal, we have especially in the first half, good opportunities with a better touch, a final touch, final control and the final decision - if it's perfect, we can achieve a better result." ~ Paulo Sousa
