I saw that the team that reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season actually failed to score a point in the Champions League group stage this season and bid farewell to the knockout stage two rounds in advance. As the president of Lyon Club, Aulas can be said to be in an extremely bad mood at the moment. He never thought that Lyon, which had been developing so well before, would encounter such a degree of Waterloo this season!
Although Monaco was robbed of a French Ligue 1 title last season and was overshadowed by the opponent, Lyon was the first club after Marseille to complete three consecutive French Ligue 1 championships in terms of overall strength, reputation and heritage. Much better than Monaco. Therefore, in this summer, apart from feeling a little panicked because the club was removed from G14, Aulas was still quite optimistic about the team's prospects this season.
As long as the team performs well this season, then the door to G14 will definitely be open to Lyon, and the big guys will definitely not sit idly by. This was Aulas's plan for Lyon before the start of the new season - at that time, he naively believed that Lyon could win people's attention through its outstanding performance in the Champions League like last season, and thus use this influence Return to the embrace of G14!
And now, as Lyon collapsed in the group stage, while Monaco performed triumphantly in Ligue 1, and the situation of qualifying for the Champions League was even better, Aulas, who had been dreaming of a dream, finally recognized the reality - -Football is not a utopia. Lyon, who is on the wrong team in the power struggle between Johansson and Platini, has no chance of getting any care and preferential treatment from UEFA on the court!
Just like George in his previous life, the FA has always been a die-hard supporter of Johansson. As a result, after Platini came to power, Premier League clubs were immediately suppressed by the French in all aspects - from the Financial Fair Play Act to referees. Deliberately targeted, coupled with the constant schedule of powerful enemies, Platini's attacks can be said to be all-out!
That is to say, the Premier League's influence and money-absorbing ability at that time had almost exceeded the other four major leagues combined, and its attractiveness to players was also the first-class in European football. Otherwise, the fate of the Premier League may be even more miserable than that of Serie A!
Therefore, Aulas could not blame Johansson for being cruel to Lyon. In other words, if Johansson doesn't use Lyon to show off his power and put on a good show to scare the monkeys, then the Swedes will not be able to deter their half-hearted guys and let them work for them honestly!
They have been suppressed by Monaco domestically for two consecutive seasons, and their results in the Champions League are not as dazzling as their opponents. They have also been suppressed by major clubs and targeted by UEFA... If this continues, Lyon wants to become a G14 organization again. Being a member will completely become something out of reach!
It was only then that Olas realized it belatedly. It turned out that before he knew it, the situation around Lyon had become so dangerous!
This can't go on like this! After realizing that the situation was extremely unfavorable to Lyon, Aulas made a quick decision and decided to fly to London to visit George in person. He believes that the Tottenham boss definitely played a key role in why Lyon was in trouble!
"Chairman Olas, you have found the wrong person this time." After receiving him in the office and learning the purpose of his visit, George suddenly looked unhappy, "Although Lennart (Johansson) and I have a good relationship, But I have no say in this kind of thing. Also, why don’t I show mercy to Lyon? You mean, did I deliberately let go of Udinese and Real Madrid before?"
Hearing George's rebuttal, Aulas couldn't help but feel surprised, and found that what the other party said was absolutely right - Tottenham is a team that has won four games in the Champions League, so why should he say that he was deliberately targeting Lyon? This is simply unreasonable speculation!
Could it be that I really guessed wrong? This matter has nothing to do with Tottenham. It is purely the plan of Johansson's sinister old fox?
"So, President Aulas, please remember what I said. Lyon's affairs have nothing to do with me. My task is to lead the team to play every game. You can't let me deliberately play against Lyon Lose?" Seeing Aulas's wavering, George firmly denied it again - although he had promised Johansson to help him manage Lyon, this was also to give himself a sigh of relief, and to scare the monkeys and attack Prati. It's just Ni's influence, and George doesn't really want to have too much to do with this kind of thing. Because once it is exposed, his and Tottenham's reputation will be greatly negatively affected.
"By the way, if you really want to change the current situation, then it is best to express enough sincerity to that person. I think he will not rush to kill Lyon. One of the five major European leagues Ligue 1 cannot have just one Monaco to show off."
If Monaco is the dominant player in Ligue 1, it will be difficult to develop the players' abilities. Only by competing can there be motivation for progress. Therefore, George put aside his previous grudges and vaguely reminded Olas, suggesting that he should go to Johansson to express his position instead of arguing with himself. After all, in the previous life, Aulas's Lyon was the most famous label in Ligue 1 before the emergence of Paris Saint-Germain, so he was the perfect target for leveling up!
"Mr. Viscount, thank you for your reminder. I will go to Nyon to visit Chairman Johansson tomorrow." For this reason, if Aulas can't hear what George means, then he won't have to sit in the chair of Chairman Lyon. "Sigh... I hope there is still room for recovery. I don't want to see Lyon, who has finally recovered, decline again in my hands."
At this point, Johansson's plan finally achieved a complete victory - with his unremitting attack, he not only successfully achieved the goal of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, but also successfully instigated the rebellion of Lyon, one of Platini's few supporters in the wealthy club. By!
However, these things have nothing to do with George. After defeating Lyon at home, he began to turn his attention to the league battlefield, preparing to take advantage of the team's large lead in the Champions League to focus on the league and distance himself from Chelsea in the standings!
However, reality gave George a blow. In the twelfth round of the Premier League on November 8, Tottenham, which was a guest at the Reebok Stadium, suffered a defeat from Bolton Wanderers coached by Allardyce, and tied the home team one to one within 90 minutes. !
In this game, Bolton did not behave like a veteran-dominated team at all. The fierce style of play and the collective outburst of the veterans created huge trouble for Tottenham. Especially its main center Kevin Davis. The striker, who was hailed by the media as the most injurious player, kicked with his head and feet during the game. While scoring a goal, he also kicked Ledley King and Phil Neville off the field successively, allowing them to run out of substitutions. Tottenham, who had quota, had to fight with ten men in the final stage of the game!
