Although he was determined to fight to the death, when it was really implemented, Hollier unconsciously returned to the old path, focusing more on defense and winning the game, rather than giving it a try, using offense to solve the problem, and actively seeking a chance to defeat Tottenham at the White Hart Lane Stadium!

Compared with the last time, Hollier only made two adjustments to the starting lineup. One was to replace Fred as the starting center, intending to let the Norwegian center attack Tottenham's defense line; the other was to replace veteran Wiltod with Gov to enhance the impact on the wing, making it difficult for Tottenham to concentrate its strength to defend Karu in the middle!

I have to say that Hollier's abacus is indeed very good. If the game can really be carried out according to his ideas, then Tottenham, who sent many substitutes, will definitely be embarrassed by Lyon's slightly simple and crude but extremely practical means, and the probability of a home game will be much higher. However, Hollier did not grasp the key to the problem, that is, whether Tottenham will cooperate with his tactical intentions so that Lyon can play the game as he arranged before the game!

Sure enough, the moment he saw Lyon's starting lineup, George instantly understood Hollier's intentions and immediately explained some of the weaknesses in Lyon's lineup, allowing them to deal with Lyon more targetedly in the game!

As for whether the players can understand and use the knowledge he told in such a short period of time, George is not very worried. Because Klose and Arshavin are both players with high ball quotient, they can fully understand seven or eight points even if they can't remember them all. In this way, even if the team cannot completely block Lyon's offensive due to rotation, they can completely solve this strong enemy with a sharper attack!

Mendeta, who commands the overall situation in the midfield, can prevent Tottenham from being taken away from the familiar rhythm by Lyon in the game. Dempsey's excellent forward long-range shooting skills can force Lyon to not concentrate his troops to defend Klose. Arshavin and Ronaldo on the wing are both good at passing and shooting, and Carl and Bynes can also provide high-quality crosses to deliver shells to K God... To be honest, Tottenham's offensive system is not something Lyon's second-rate defense line can handle!

This is true. Although Juninho is in excellent form today, using the opportunity of free kicks in the frontcourt twice in the 21st and 54th minutes of the game, Lyon's poor wing defense became a stumbling block for the former Ligue 1 overlord to win the first victory in the group stage. Facing the offensive trident formed by Klose, Ronaldo and Arshaven, the full-back combination of Revier and Tanat was once again completely beaten, becoming the culprit for Lyon's final defeat by 2-3 away!

The iron triangle of the back defense formed by Chris, Casapa and Kupe is indeed a very outstanding combination. Hollier's ability to train defense can be called master level, but Lyon's defense is still repeatedly beaten by Tottenham. Among them, although Tottenham's overall strength is stronger, in fact, the problem of Lyon being dragged down by defense is mainly due to Revier and Tanat who are guarding the wing!

It is normal for Tanat to withstand Ronaldo's impact. After all, not every player can maintain his competitive state at first-class level like Maldini when he is 36 years old. Hollier and Lyon fans are also very clear about this, and naturally they will not make too high demands on German veterans.

Revier, who serves as the main right back, is different. At the age of 26, he is in the golden period of a player's career, but he has not been able to solve the problem of strong offense and weak defense, which seriously affects Lyon's right-side defense quality. This is particularly obvious in the Champions League field this season. Lyon's four group games lost are basically because Revier's poor defense on the right, which gives his opponent a lot of opportunities to easily cross or cut in and shoot. Therefore, for Revier, Lyon fans can be said to love and hate him - they both like his wonderful performance on the offensive end, and they also hate him for being asked by his opponent when defending!

The reason why Lyon did not expose such a serious problem in his previous life was because Abidal was on the left for Lyon at that time, so Hollier only needed to divide his troops to defend and block Revier's hole to solve this problem. But now, there are two loopholes on Lyon's defense line at the same time, and the quality of defense is naturally difficult to compare with that in his previous life.

Klose became the biggest contributor to Tottenham's home victory. K God first opened the team's first record just ten minutes into the game, and then assisted Al Shavin to score a goal before the end of the first half to surpass the score. Finally, five minutes after Juninho's second equalization, he received a header from Carl's cross, scoring a goal for Tottenham to secure the victory!

"It seems that we should be prepared for Klose to leave the team in advance." Seeing Klose such an outstanding performance, George was mixed. Because he knew that the better K-God performs, the greater the hope of Tottenham winning the Premier League or defending the Champions League this season, and the smaller the possibility of retaining the Germans next summer!

Although Klose has not yet mentioned his future plans with George, George is also very clear that with enough team honors, Klose will inevitably seek breakthroughs in personal honors and team status in the future. In this way, K-God will naturally not be willing to share playing time with Drogba again!

In another group match between the F Group F, Real Madrid, who was visiting the Friuli Stadium, capsized the gutter on Udinese and was tied by the home team. Although Raul scored his 50th goal in the Champions League in the game, surpassing the legendary star, "Golden Arrow" Di Stefano, becoming the number one person in the Champions League total scorer list, Real Madrid's defense line dug again, and Jaquinta seized a chance to rise to the top to tie the score for Udinese, helping the home team get a valuable point from Real Madrid!

With two wins, one draw and one loss in four games, Real Madrid, which is more than five points behind Tottenham in the group standings, has become extremely slim to compete for the top spot in the F Group. However, Heathfield's coaching position has not shown any signs of instability, but has received support from more Real Madrid fans!

Real Madrid fans are not stupid. It is not easy to know that Heathfield led the Galaxy battleship in the trough to hand over such a report card, and to keep the team in the offensive football style. Therefore, they have always been harsh and have shown great patience and are willing to give this German coach more support!

Lyon lost all four games in the group stage and was seven points behind Real Madrid, who was ranked second. Lyon can be said to be completely disappointed at this time. This means that Lyon, who has not scored a single point so far, has missed the semi-finals of the Champions League and can only compete with Udinese for a ticket to the League Cup!
