Statistics speak for themselves , three. That's how many matches Basel has gone without conceding a goal in recent weeks. This is no coincidence; it's a result of a strategic adjustment by the coach.

During the game against FC Zürich, the defensive organization was evident. Every player knew their role; communication was both audible and visible. Particularly notable was M. Akahomen's performance as a center-back, who won several crucial duels, contributing to a composed defense. The mutual trust among defenders is growing , it's palpable.
The statistics (see table) illustrate the effectiveness of this tactic in numbers. Fans are now wondering if Basel can maintain this style until the end of the season. "We must keep our focus," says the coach. "Every point counts, and we need to remain strong defensively."
