Basel's football market has always been good, and Basel's fans have always been rated as one of the most loyal fans in Europe. Usually the attendance rate of this stadium is at least about 70%, which is already a very good attendance rate.
During this match, a special fan appeared in the stands of St. Jacobs Park, and that was the tennis king Roger Federer. The tennis king who was born in Basel has always been a die-hard supporter of Basel.
The game started at the whistle of Slovenian referee Skomina.
In the eyes of Basel, Real Madrid, the strongest team in this group, has undoubtedly occupied a qualifying spot. If they want to advance to the knockout rounds, the two-leg match against Udinese will be very crucial, so they are in a strong position in this game. must.

………………
Falling behind at the start, Basel quickly adjusted their tactics and began to closely mark Bruno. Wherever he went, a Basel defender immediately followed him.
Eight minutes into the game, Bruno received a pass from Alan. He stopped the ball with his chest and was about to turn around. He was fiercely hit diagonally by Basel's center back Fabian Scheer, knocking him to the ground. .
Udinese's free kick in the frontcourt.
Bruno chose to shoot directly. The football did not pass the wall and was blocked by the wall.
Alan got the ball and faced the pressing of the Basel players. He immediately passed the football back. Guillerme, who got the ball, continued to pass the ball back. In this way, he passed the ball back all the way, slowly attracting the Basel defense line.
Then, Udinese reorganized their attack.
This time, Bruno dunked beautifully past Fabian Frei and then swept the ball wide.
<divclass="contentadv"> As soon as Widmund took the ball, he was pressed by Basel left-back Safaree. The Swiss chose to pull the football back, and then suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, trying to bypass the opponent. .
However, Safaree seems to know the characteristics of Widmont very well and has already taken steps to intercept in advance.
Seeing that the breakthrough was unsuccessful, Widmon had no choice but to pass the football back.
Kanter came over to receive the ball. He didn't let the football stay at his feet and passed it directly to Bruno.
Bruno took the ball with his back, and behind him was Safaree, who after finishing defending Widmon, turned to defend him.
Bruno controlled the football at his feet and prepared to challenge Safari.
At this time, Elneny sneaked over from the side to help Safari defend Bruno.
He took advantage of Bruno to put all his attention on Scheer and stretched out his foot to sweep the ball!
Safaree smiled, and Elneny was also slightly excited. He stole the ball from the feet of the European golden boy. The feeling was just different.
Double-teaming Bruno all the time, this is the way the Basel coach rearranged to defend Bruno.
………………
Bruno caught a glimpse of Elneny sneaking over from the corner of his eye. He used his knees to figure out what he was going to do, but he pretended not to notice the other party's intention.
Bruno is naturally no stranger to the Basel midfielder who later joined Arsenal.
Then, everyone saw that when Elneny swept his foot over, Bruno leaned back, held Safaree on his back, pulled the football towards the inside of his body with his right foot, and then lightly lifted the football with his toes. Jumped slightly.
Elneny's kick swept away, and he himself rushed over because he threw too hard, staggering and almost falling.
At this time, Bruno raised his left foot and tried to stop the football again.
This is the opportunity!
Safaree was first surprised, then overjoyed, because he saw an opportunity to steal the ball.
The encirclement between him and Elneny was a layered defense. Elneny made a sneak attack from the front, causing Bruno to panic. He had a second attack from behind!
This is double insurance defense!
When Bruno is disturbed by Elneny, he will take action immediately!
Safaree wrapped one hand around Bruno's arm and put the other hand on Bruno's back. At the same time, he stretched out a leg from Bruno's back, intending to poke the football away when Bruno stopped the ball.
The timing of the attack was well grasped!
"Pretty!"
Basel center Strehler near the center circle was overjoyed. He could already imagine that Bruno had the ball stolen. He raised his hand in front, indicating that after stealing the ball, he immediately counterattacked and passed the football to him.
You know, Udinese is pressing heavily at this time, and the backcourt is very empty. Once the ball is stolen, it is a good opportunity to counterattack!
………………
Safari was excited. He was already thinking about stealing the ball, quickly passing the football out, and launching a counterattack, but the next moment he found that the ball was missing!
It turned out that when Safaree was about to steal the ball, Bruno tried to stop the ball with his left foot out of sight, but instead knocked the football, and the football reached his right foot.
Immediately, Bruno spiked the ball again and pulled the football over, barely avoiding Safaree's steal from behind!
The whole action was done in one go, as if he had already known that Safaree would steal the ball from behind!
Immediately afterwards, Bruno held Safaree behind him with one hand, pulled the ball with the inside of his right foot, and his body quickly turned in the direction of the football!
Safari was shocked!
He didn't expect Bruno to avoid his stolen ball with such dexterity under such circumstances, and even wanted to complete the turn after pulling the ball!
He must not be allowed to turn around successfully!
As for how strong Bruno's ability is, many teams, including Real Madrid, have used their failures to provide the best explanation.
Therefore, Saafari knew very well that Bruno must not be allowed to get rid of it, otherwise Basel's goal would be in danger.
If the second goal was conceded so quickly, Basel's game would be over.
In desperation, Safaree directly grabbed Bruno's jersey.
"Foul!!!" shouted BBC commentator John Mortensen.
Bruno has successfully turned around, and Safaree is now blocked behind him, but he cannot start because the latter is holding on to his jersey.
Bruno leaned forward suddenly, exerting force on his waist and abdomen, trying to get rid of Safaree's pull.
In this case, Safaree's pulling was very obvious, and the referee Skomina had already put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow the foul whistle.
