Chapter 80 If we win, will Platini be unhappy (first update, please give me a monthly vote!)

"This is not shameless, this is simply shameless!" After Platini was interviewed, an Italian reporter complained in private. "How can he support Lyon so blatantly? He is the president of UEFA! What does it mean to say 'I am a Frenchman', bullshit! If he doesn't admit it himself, he thinks that others are fools!"

"I'm really worried about Naples now..."

"We all know who Platini is. We also know what he does... We also know what UEFA will never manipulate the game. We still remember the Stamford Bridge in the first half of the year!"

The "Stanford Bridge Incident in the first half of the year" mentioned by reporters is that in the first half of this year, in the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea played against Barcelona at home.

Before that, Chelsea scored a 0-0 draw away, which was a very good result. Once you win at home, you can advance to the finals.

I remember that game... It is still controversial. The referee has become the well-deserved protagonist in the game again. Every time his penalty is controversial. He almost only once in the game, but the result is still wrong... That is, the wrong penalty gave Barcelona the excuse to refute - "Look, the referee has sent us alone, why do you have the nerve to say that the referee is biased towards us?"

But that's the truth... Chelsea's player fell to the ground in Barcelona's penalty area, and the referee turned a blind eye. Barcelona's player handballed in his penalty area, but the referee turned a blind eye.

Barack and Drogba even played in anger and stopped playing the ball, but surrounded the referee and protested loudly.

But it's useless.

At Chelsea's home court, amid the booing of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, Norwegian referee Tom Henning has stifled Chelsea's hope again and again.

In the 81st minute of the second half, Pique made a mistake when stopping the ball in the penalty area. The ball hit his open right hand, and such an obvious handball referee turned a blind eye. At that time, Chelsea led by one goal. If the handball was awarded a penalty, Chelsea could lock in the victory.

The second handball occurred in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Barack's shot in the penalty area hit the left upper arm of the defender. The referee who was close at hand signaled the game to continue. At that time, Barcelona relied on Iniesta's goal in the 93rd minute to tie the total score to 1:1. If this penalty is counted, Chelsea will use this penalty to defeat Barcelona and enter the Champions League final for two consecutive years. However, the referee also made no statement.

In addition to these two obvious penalty kicks, the referee also had many penalty decisions that are very debatable. In the 23rd minute, Maluda broke through Alves from the left. Although the referee called a foul, the foul showed that the foul was in the penalty area rather than outside the penalty area. In the 26th minute, Drogba dribbled into the penalty area, and Abidal knocked down Warcraft. Without his foul, Drogba should have completed a one-on-one shot well, but the referee did not say anything.

Of course, the referee is not a machine, but a human being, and he always makes mistakes. It’s nothing to make one or two mistakes in a game. However, if you make such a concentrated mistake in a game, and the victims of the mistakes are all Chelsea, it makes people suspicious.

After the game, some media questioned the referee's penalty problem.

The whole Chelsea team was completely unacceptable to such a result. At home, they did not lose at Barcelona. Their tactics were successful and the players performed well. It was not until 93 minutes that the strong Barcelona scored a goal. If the referee had not interfered with their emotions, it was hard to say whether the ball would appear... They lost in the hands of the referee. This frustrating loss method made it difficult for Chelsea players to suppress their anger. After the game, Drogba was the first to rush to the court to confront the referee. When he was pulled down by his teammates, he shouted at the camera camera: "This is really a fucking shame! You are not worthy of being respected at all! How can you do such a thing? Shame! Shame! You are really a fucking shame!" He pointed to the referee Hening, who was in the end, as if he wanted to poke the opponent to smash it.

In the end, Barcelona entered Rome with the goal of Iniesta, and defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the final. Guardiola won the six championship in his first season as coached the team. This Champions League championship is crucial. Looking back, this semi-final is probably the most important step in the Barcelona Dream Three dynasty...

After the game, the media questioned the game, but they were much more rational than those simply angry fans. They did not accuse Barcelona of bribing the referee because it was very difficult and Barcelona was unlikely to do such a thing.

In fact, the answer is very simple, everyone has turned their attention to UEFA President Platini.

Platini has expressed his support and love for Barcelona more than once, which has won him the praise of "Pu's godfather". However, this time, it has little to do with Barcelona. If other teams meet Chelsea in this game, they will also benefit.

Because this is a competition between UEFA and the Premier League.

Starting from the 2006-07 season, 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, three consecutive seasons, there were three England teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and these three teams were the same, all of them were Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. The only difference was the other team. The 2006-07 season was AC Milan, and the remaining two seasons were Barcelona.

Not only that, from the 2004-05 season, a team from the Premier League has reached the finals for five consecutive seasons and won the championship twice. The 2007-08 season's Champions League final has become a civil war in England. Manchester United and Chelsea fought fiercely in the heavy rain at Luzhniki Stadium for 120 minutes without a winner, and finally won by a penalty kick.

The Champions League semi-finals last season also saw great hope of developing into a civil war in England. At this time, Platini, who could not bear it, finally took action! He would never tolerate the Champions League final, which represents the highest level of honor in Europe, became the UEFA Cup!

After observing the first round, I found that Chelsea was very tenacious and actually tied Barcelona 0:0 away. The story continued to develop according to this urinary nature. I am afraid that the audience would have to repeatedly see Chelsea and Manchester United teams meet in the finals... When those viewers who turn on the TV to watch the Champions League finals at that time, would they think they had traveled back a year ago when they saw the two sides?

In fact, Platini has been dissatisfied with the Premier League for a long time, but he was not in power before. Now that he has become the chairman of UEFA, he will of course kill the majesty of English football. He believes that the attitude of pursuing money in the Premier League is a kind of damage to football. In the long run, football will be completely controlled by money. He hopes to break away from the Premier League business philosophy, so he began to struggle with the new policy, requiring that by 2012, all teams must balance the income and expenditure, and the transfer funds must come from their own operating income, and cannot accept foreign capital injection. This is simply a bolt from the blue for many Premier League teams acquired by foreign capital.

He is financially stuck with the neck of Premier League teams, and he has started to make a decision on competition again. The Premier League is not his own, but the League Cup and the Champions League are his territory. Isn’t he the final say here?

That's why the scene at Stamford Bridge in the first half of this year was.

After the game, Hening admitted that he had made some punishments in the game, and it was obvious that this was the practice of taking all the responsibility on himself.

But many media still pointed their finger at UEFA led by Platini.

UEFA always insists that the draw results are random, but the gimmicks are arranged several times, one or two times can be said to be a coincidence, three or four times, five times? We must say that there are factors that we think are arranged.

The world is as black as a crow, and FIFA has had bribery scandals. The AFC has tried every means to compete for East Asia and West Asia for so many years. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the biggest joke of this century that UEFA is a fair, fair, efficient and honest institution.

The European media who reported on European football were also very clear about what UEFA is, and criticisms about UEFA are endless. But UEFA always has a way to press these voices. After all, they dominate the entire European football and have an unimaginable power.

Now, some Italian journalists are worried that Platini will reach out to Napoli to challenge Lyon's away game.

reason?

It's too simple. Platini is a Frenchman. He always has to consider the interests of French football, otherwise he will not be able to explain it at home.

Porto obviously cannot bring any glory to French football. Only Lyon's performance can guarantee a Ligue 1 team's Champions League place, which is crucial. No matter what method is used, it must be guaranteed that Lyon will appear in the next stage of the knockout match, and then draw them with Lyon's miserable Real Madrid... Real Madrid can continue to dream eight, and Lyon is almost the same as being led to the quarterfinals.

This is a very good plan...

However, all of the above are the speculations of reporters. They cannot jump out so arbitrarily and accused Platini of innuendo before they even started playing in the game.

All the answers and truths will be clear when the competition is over...

Compared with the dark-hearted reporters, the Naples players obviously did not think so much. They even held Platini to watch the game and gave them the honor of showing the best Naples in front of the UEFA president.

Maybe, it can win the favor of UEFA for this...

Of course they knew that Platini was French, but it was obvious that everyone was willing to believe that such a big man had weight and principles in his speech. He said that he supported Lyon as a Frenchman, and that was the case.

As a Frenchman, it is normal for him to cheer for Lyon... Before this game, Maradona was still cheering for Naples, and he was not even an Italian.

However, Chen Yingxiong suddenly asked a question, which made many teammates not react for a while.

"You said... would Platini be upset if we beat Lyon away?"
