    法甲里昂队主教练霍利尔在球队客场1：1逼平皇家马德里队并以13分的成绩力压皇马获得F组第一后认为，队员们的自信和团体精神是球队不败的动力源泉。

    据路透社23日报道，霍利尔在赛后接受记者采访时表示：“起初我怎么也没想到，里昂队会在欧洲冠军联赛小组赛中以不败的成绩做客伯纳乌。我认为，通过一场接一场的比赛，队员们都得到了锻炼和提高。现在不论场上出现什么情况，我们的队员都能相互帮助，最终渡过难关。”

    具体谈到本场比赛，霍利尔表示：“在比分落后的情况下，我们的阵型开始前压，以寻求破门的机会。虽然这样我们冒了一些风险，但这就是里昂队，他们热爱比赛，为了比赛的胜利，他们从不放弃。当然我必须承认，我们也很幸运，因为我们碰到的是一支没有罗纳尔多和劳尔的皇马。”

    虽然皇马也取得了小组出线，但主场的平局，特别是主教练卢森伯格在比赛结束前10分钟将贝克汉姆替换下场的决定，还是让这位巴西人再次听到了主场球迷的嘘声。对此，卢森伯格解释说：“球迷们根本不明白是怎么回事。当时贝克汉姆的背伤又发作了，他很痛苦。我能怎么做呢？难道人们想他累死在场上吗？不错，他是本场我们表现最好的球员，他的长传和突破都很有威胁，但他有伤在身，已经受不了了。所以我才把他换了下来。”

    近一时期，皇马因为在一系列比赛中战绩糟糕，因而受到了球迷和媒体的巨大压力。但卢森伯格还是表示有信心将球队带出低谷。他说：“我现在想的不是俱乐部主席是不是还要我，我惟一关心的就是努力工作，帮助那些受伤的球员尽快振作起来。”

    Lyon coach Gerard Houllier says it was his side's self-belief and team spirit that enabled them to fight back for a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid that ensured them top spot in Champions League Group F on Wednesday.

    "At the start of the Champions League campaign I had no idea we'd reach the Bernabeu unbeaten," Houllier said .

    "But I think my team has grown in mental and physical strength with each game. They are mentally strong no matter what happens and always help each other out.

    "After we fell behind we pushed forward in search of a goal. We took a lot of risks, but this team enjoys playing and wants to win every game.

    "I have to admit though that we were lucky to have come across a Real Madrid without Ronaldo and Raul. If Lyon played without (John) Carew and Fred we'd have problems too."

    Lyon fell behind four minutes before the break when Real midfielder Guti snapped home from close range after a David Beckham free kick.

    But the French champions fought back hard in the second half and John Carew grabbed a deserved equaliser with an ingenious back-heel 18 minutes from time.

    Real Madrid, who were dealt a humbling 3-0 defeat by arch-rivals Barcelona on Saturday, gave a much improved performance in the first half, but faded in the second and the team was jeered off the pitch at the Bernabeu for the second game in succession.

    The most hostile treatment was reserved for coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo when he decided to replace Beckham with defender Michel Salgado 10 minutes from time. But the Brazilian said that although he was hurt by the way he had been treated, the fans did not appreciate why he had made the change.

    "The people just didn't understand. Beckham was holding his back and was in pain. What do the people want me to do? Do they want him to die on the pitch before I change him?

    "Yes, he was our best player with his long raking passes and crosses, but he couldn't take any more because of his back and that's why I took him off."

    Luxemburgo said that despite the pressure from the fans and the Spanish media he was confident he could turn the team around.

    "Of course I can continue as coach. I'm not thinking about whether the president will keep me on. My only worry is to work hard and recover the players that have been injured."
