[CL] Lyon 1-0 JUVENTUS [February 26th, 2020] (4 Viewers)

I stopped watching this team in Ligue 1, against Juve it was the first time that I saw him. It's been 2 weeks since he arrived at the club , and for his 1st European match it's a really good surprise. Aouar was nominated man of the match, personally I would have voted for Guimares.
Unlike this thiago mendes crap, it's day and night: finally a player who runs, he's aggressive (4 interceptions, 2nd best lyon player), good technique (96.4% of successful passes in the opposing half - match record 68 balls touched), solid physically (most duels won -7) allows Aouar to be lucid in the last third of the field focusing on offensive tasks. The only negative point is the fault on dybala which should have resulted a penalty.

I was almost sure someone would question me on that last part. 
fair enough. 
I’m mostly thinking about CR7’s ability to turn nothing into something and perhaps for ex also Dybala’s ability to win us a penalty or create danger that comes to mind first? But honestly now, it’s just Lyon being aswell impressively poor lately that gives me some sort of certainty going into this second leg.

Yeah. A terrible half of football completely invalidates the joy and pleasure of watching us smash through the CL knockouts that year. So much cringe.

So close, but so far.
Management was right to part ways with Max, but wrong to replace him with a classless 60 year old bum with zero history of success to manage a team of stars who have won countless titles.

That game was one of the greatest tactical masterpieces I've seen in football (and Emre Can, surprisingly, was one of the most important parts of it). Everyone, from Atletico players to Juventus fans, was thinking "what the fuck is going on" during that game. It was absolutely bewildering and caught everyone by surprise.
Unfortunately, Sarri doesn't seem to be capable of thinking of something other than more quick passing.

As I have said before, if we are going for a relatively unproven (at the top level) coach, I’d rather not be going for a 60+ year old who has been coaching for 30 years. If we can’t get a proven elite coach on the level of a Klopp, Zidane, Guardiola, Allegri, Conte, Simeone, etc I’d rather we go for a younger, up and coming coach like we did with Conte and then Max. Inzaghi, Pochettino (even if he had a terrible start to this season), Ten Hag come to mind, and I’m sure there are others.
