George naturally knew the situation of Lyon at this time. The fastest update was, so after realizing that Tymink's dictatorship was not strict and even loose, he immediately gave instructions to the players on the sidelines, ordering them to increase the intensity and frequency of physical confrontation so that the opponent could not attack according to their usual routines!

George's adjustment immediately worked. Once the ball was obtained in Tottenham's half, the Lyon player would be taken care of by Mascherano and others, seriously destroying the rhythm of Lyon's game!

When it comes to coaching defense, Hollier is indeed a good player. When Liverpool coached, he had the best defense in the UK, and the few goals conceded in the league were the fewest in almost every season. But the problem with this famous French coach is that his tactical thinking really attaches too much importance to the construction of defense, and his offense relies entirely on fast counterattacks and the personal abilities of several stars in the frontcourt!

In Liverpool, relying on Irving, who was in his peak period, Hollier led the team to win five championship trophys in 2O1, and even almost led the Reds to win the English championship in the O1-O2 season; in Lyon, the French coach once again made good luck and met a young Juninho who was also at his peak period and was also capable of deciding the victory or defeat of the game!

In George's previous life, it was precisely because of his fringe international player of the Brazilian national team that Lyon was able to jump from a mid-range club to become the overlord of Ligue 1 and become Real Madrid's biggest victim in the Champions League. However, now, due to Olas' stupidity and Johnson's targeting, Juninho is destined to be unable to shine in European football like he did in his previous life. With his outstanding performance against the Galaxy Battleship and Lyon's brilliant record, he has been sought after by fans and the media!

Due to Hollier's tactical arrangement, the quality of Lyon's offensive depends to a large extent on Juninho's swing. Therefore, when Tottenham concentrated its efforts to encircle Juninho and did not give the Brazilian a chance to organize the offense calmly, and he was reluctant to give him a free kick in the frontcourt easily, it was only a matter of time before Lyon's failure!

In the free kick, Juninho is completely worthy of the title of master. The free kick he took not only has a very weird arc, but also can often kick an S-shaped free kick called "violating the laws of physics" by the media, but the ball does not have a spin when flying, which increases the difficulty of the goalkeeper saving!

Despite being targeted to such an extent, the referee did not take much care of Lyon's penalty because of this at home. Juninho still seized the few opportunities to threaten Tottenham's goal in the 27th minute of the game. Lyon got a free kick in the frontcourt. Juninho, who was responsible for taking the penalty, suddenly shot a cold arrow 32 meters away from the goal. The ball successfully crossed the wall and Cech's fingers, but unfortunately hit the crossbar in the end and bounced out of the baseline, missing the goal!

Unlike players like Pirlo and Beckham who need to be within 25 meters of the goal to kick a deadly free kick, Juninho's effective range of free kick can reach more than 35 meters. This makes the opponent have to be more careful when defending Lyon's attack, and the difficulty of defense also increases in geometric range!

Fortunately, the strength gap between Tottenham and Lyon is not something Juninho can make up for. After escaping by chance, Tottenham players who have a new understanding of Juninho's free kick skills have become more tight in defense against the Brazilians. Mascherano's close tightening, and Gerald and Alonso's assisted defense and blockade made Juninho almost unable to receive the ball on the court!

As for whether this will give other players on the court the opportunity to take advantage of? Sorry, are you talking about Virtod, whose physical functions have been greatly degraded, or Maluda, who can be completely deterred by Macon alone, or Fred, who is not even as good as Fabiano and was rated as the weakest 9th ever in the Samba Legion in his previous life?

Compared with Lyon, who is struggling on the court, Tottenham's situation is much better. Although Juninho was almost taught by a free kick, Tottenham, which is at least one level better than Lyon on both ends of offense and defense, has always firmly grasped the initiative of the game, and the extremely oppressive offense has forced Lyon players to almost breathless!

Because Monaco took the lead in poaching Abidal, Lyon recruited veteran Tanat as the left-back position. This German veteran was indeed a strong player when he was young, and being able to play with Lizarazu is enough to show his strength. But now, Tanat, who is already thirty-six years old, has no way to deal with the repeated attacks of Ronaldo and Macon on the right!

As for Revier on the right, there is no need to say more. The French right-back is powerful on the offensive end, but his job has been unsatisfactory. Otherwise, he would not have been summoned from the top giants who became famous early in the morning. He did not even have the chance to play substitutes for Sanior and Toulam in the national team!

With the defense line on the wing was completely blown up by Tottenham, the initiative was firmly controlled by the opponent, and there were also big killing weapons like Gerald and Drogba in the middle, no matter how capable Kupe could, he could not guarantee that the goal would not be lost!

In the end, with Drogba's double score, Tottenham, which was even stronger, beat Lyon 2-0 at the Gerland Stadium. While continuing to kill the former Ligue 1 overlord at the end of the group, he ranked first in Group F with a record of three wins!

After slapping Lyon away without any blood, Tottenham, who returned to the UK, arrived in Manchester on time on the 10th round of the UK match day two days later, preparing to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United, which is in the reconstruction period!

Although Manchester United's fate has changed under George's secret promotion. Not only did the club owner change from the Glazer family in his previous life to the current Qatar Investment Bureau, and the overall strength of the team has also improved significantly compared with the previous life, even so, the Red Devils still have many problems and shortcomings!

Giggs and Scholes are transforming hard, Hargreaves and Carrick are still looking for tacit understanding, and several main defenders are constantly injured, and they also need to deal with the situation of fighting on both sides... All of this hinders Manchester United from playing as they deserve in the English field!

Therefore, even though they had a big battle with Lyon in France two days ago, the players' physical strength and condition were not adjusted to the best, and facing Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur is not without the strength to compete!
