In the end it was a question of efficiency. FCB plays at eye level with the champions Bern in Wankdorf. But he leaves numerous occasions before the halftime whistle. The Bernese seize their opportunities coldly and can turn a deficit against Basler, again, into a victory.
The defeat was avoidable
«It was unfortunate. At least we would have deserved a draw, as we performed. But then we got two simple goals that we have to look at again, ”said Timm Klose after his Rotblau debut. The defender tackles the two goals conceded. In both scenes, the defense of Basel was caught by surprise. Newcomer Heinz Lindner in goal had no chance with either of them.
“The result of the debut is a shame. We weren’t the worst team. But we conceded two unfortunate goals. Inattention as in these scenes will be punished with ice. That is even more bitter. That could have been avoided, ”says FCB goalkeeper Heinz Lindner.
Another step
Opportunity assessment is the crux of the Basel game. Rotblau could have folded before the break, if he hadn’t had to. «In the counter-situations we had, we died wonderfully. There were situations where we should have played faster with the better positioned player, ”captain Valentin Stocker said.
Despite defeat: FC Basel’s appearance in the Champions League is encouraging. The Ciriaco Sforza team shows more and more what they can do. “We are getting closer to that. It just means that you have to find yourself first. Hope we can do it quickly. English weeks should help, ”says Klose.
Win back
However, FC Basel must quickly find their way back to the points. Next Wednesday it will be at St. Jakob-Park against Lausanne. A game that you have to win from a Basel perspective. But: “We saw last season that it’s not really about the games that we play against YB. What we do against the other opponents is still very important. We have quality in the team and we have to take it to the field. We have to start winning regularly, ”Stocker said.
