Lech can be a real threat

FC Basel's coach, Urs Fischer, answered all the questions directed at him by the media representatives gathered at the pre-match press conference. What did the coach have to say before his team faced the Polish Champion in the III round of Champions League qualifications?

The absences

The players who did not travel with the team to Poznan are recovering from injuries. It's the best squad we currently have and this is how we want to win.

Lech Poznan

We have watched Lech's five matches. The team from Poznan seems to be well-knit and in most of the games they play in a similar arrangement. As soon as Lech loses the ball, they attempt to take it back from the opponent. Kolejorz knows how to move from defense to offense in a quick manner and they are very well organized. We have to watch out, because if we give the ball to Lech, they become a real threat.

The favorite of the match

Let's wait for the first match to finish, because after all it's a two-leg clash. Only after the game  in Basil will we know which of the two teams is better because only one of them will advance to the next round of Champions League qualifications.

I believe that tomorrow's match will be balanced, and therefore the second leg will decide about the final result. For us a draw wouldn't be a bad achievement, however as a team we aim at a win.

The squad for tomorrow

In FC Basel's recent match against Grasshopper Zurich there were multiple changes in the squad. Ahead of tomorrow's game I will have to talk to a few players and discuss their current disposition. I don't know yet what lineup will face Kolejorz, however I do not that we will aim at a win.
