Basel has a trap – AS.com

Can not fail. That's him party motto tonight in Basel against Switzerland, since the initial script pointed to what will be against Germany, Tuesday, when let's play the pass to the Final Four of the Nations League.

Hence the warning that yesterday left on the table Own Luis Enrique: “Switzerland is a team that don't speculate, what press and it is very complete.

The guess-riddle is clear before today's game. What players will stay in the starting eleven of those who started last Wednesday in the friendly against Holland? One that could have done it is Gayà, but his header with Hateboer in Amsterdam, which forced him to be replaced by Reguilón, take out of the equation. Luis Enrique announced that he will not risk with the Valencian (who yesterday trained outside the group to avoid blows) and does well. Cucurella was called urgently from the U21, concentrated in Marbella, although in principle the best placed for starting form is Reguilón, Bale's privileged partner at Tottenham. Another who chooses to stay from holder is Morata, which left a very good feeling in the first part of the game played at the Johan Cruyff Arena. “Luis Enrique asks me to run, but believes in me And that's why I am here.

The Swiss, who add six games without knowing the victory, they come from losing in the friendly with Belgium (2-1), although not everything is bad news for Petkovic well the bosnian He recovered in that duel to Renato Steffen and Manuel Akanji, absent in the previous call due to their positives for coronavirus.

In the party of Going, only the goalkeeper's jaimited Sommer (spiced with Xhaka's slip on that same action) truncated Helvetian illusions. Tonight, everything points to Shaquiri, that in Valdebebas he rejoined his team after a year out, form the beginning. its left-handed has regained control in recent weeks and is key on the offensive side of the team. Seferovic could be your best partner in attack, where Gavranovic and Embolo they also knock on the door. Xhaka, meanwhile, will return to be the baton to move a team that Spain must win to continue depending on itself. Otherwise we should start pulling the calculator before the last day. With how bad mathematics is.
