No. 1133: Sabre Rattling!
Van Prach, the president of the Dutch Football Federation, who is interested in running for UEFA president, immediately criticized Platini, saying in an interview with the media: "Mr. Platini's remarks are inappropriate, he has forgotten his identity as UEFA president!" I want him to publicly apologize to the Dutch fans! ”
"I will initiate a motion to remove the president of the UEFA Platini in Platini!"
Former UEFA President Johansson also stood up to criticize Platini: "As the president of UEFA, it is very inappropriate to put personal hobbies above UEFA!" ”
The presidents of the Italian Football Federation, the English Football Federation, and the presidents of the football associations of some small European countries have also criticized Platini.
For a time, the situation in European football was weird, and there was a great sense of changing the dynasty.
Platini: This is the curse that comes from the mouth.
The British Sun even used the phrase "Spain has booked the European Cup in advance!" Such a title to predict the outcome of the final.
It was clear that Platini wanted Spain to defend their title, so he appointed Portuguese Proenka as the referee for the final. It is said that this referee is an admirer of Real Madrid! And Real Madrid is a Spanish team. ”
"Heartache for the Netherlands and Chen for three seconds, they can only be the foil of Spain!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the pre-match press conference, Spanish coach Bosque and captain Casillas attended.
Commenting on Platini's remarks, Bosque chose to evade: "I don't know about it, I'm so focused on preparing for the fight, so I can't say anything about it. ”
Casillas said: "I heard about it at noon. I thank Mr. Platini for his appreciation of Spanish football, but Spain is definitely not dependent on anyone to get to the final. The achievements of Spain are the result of the efforts of all members of Spain!
I don't believe that in the final, we will be taken care of by the referees, I believe in the professionalism and work ethic of the referees! ”
Later, Van Marwijk brought Van Persie to the press conference.
Faced with the same question, the Dutch boss said: "I don't care how much of an impact this will have on the final because it's not something I can control.
All I have to do is think a little bit more about what might happen in the game and figure out how to deal with it! ”
Van Persie said: "I'm sure Proenka will do justice to tonight's final, Platini's comments didn't catch our attention and we didn't have time to be distracted! ”
……
Platini's remarks were criticized by Dutch fans, who left messages on the official UEFA website, demanding that Platini come out and apologize.
There were even radical Dutch fans who shouted to Platini in the air: "If Spain beats the Netherlands under the care of the referee, I will go and burn down the UEFA headquarters!" ”
This made UEFA officials nervous.
At the same time, it has cast a shadow over the hearts of Dutch fans, with all signs pointing to Spain having the upper hand in the final.
How much of an impact will Platini's comments have on the final?
Will the fans of both sides fight?
Will there be fan riots?
Football hooligans in Spain are well-known in Europe.
"To date, the Kyiv police have detected and stopped fifteen clashes between Dutch and Spanish fans," the head of the Kyiv police announced. A total of 37 fans were injured in the clashes, but fortunately the clashes were not large and there were no fatalities.
Kyiv will strengthen police forces to patrol the streets and alleys of Kyiv, and additional police will be dispatched to control the scene tonight!
We appeal to the fans on both sides to be calm and provide a good atmosphere for the players! ”
……
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun in Kyiv, still unwilling to set, shone on the Ukrainian capital.
At the Olympic Stadium, fans from both sides began to appear, and they gathered in groups of three or five.
Obviously, the Dutch fans are not kind to the Spanish fans, and the Spanish fans look at each other angrily, if you want to fight, then fight!
The game hasn't started yet, and the fans on both sides are already on edge.
The police at the scene paid close attention to the fans on both sides, and once they found signs of conflict between the two sides, they immediately rushed up with shields to separate the fans on both sides.
The live reporter of Sky Sports in the United Kingdom looked at the camera lens and said into the microphone: "Although there are still two hours before the final, the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv has begun to gather fans from both sides.
Platini's remarks caused displeasure among Dutch fans, who took their anger out on Spanish fans. As far as is known, to date, there have been as many as thirty-seven clashes of fans on the streets of Kiev today!
Fan clashes cast a shadow over tonight's final!
Let's now interview the fans of both sides at the moment. ”
The reporter took the microphone to the place where the Dutch fans gathered, and he looked for three young fans in their twenties and asked: "How are you feeling now?" ”
The fan in the middle replied: "We have mixed feelings now, on the one hand, we hope that the Dutch team can beat Spain and win the championship, and on the other hand, we are worried that the Dutch team will be treated unfairly in tonight's final!" ”
The reporter looked at the fan on the left and asked, "What do you think of tonight's final?" ”
The fan replied: "Of course I want the Netherlands to win the title, but there are people who don't want to see the Netherlands win the title. I'm pessimistic about tonight's game. ”
The fan on the right immediately said: "I don't see it that way!" ”
"I think the Netherlands will win tonight because we have Chen! He can defeat all conspiracies because he is a god on the green field! ”
The reporter asked, "You have so much confidence in Chen?" ”
The fan nodded and said, "Yes, I have absolute confidence in him!" In my heart he is omnipotent! And since his debut, he has never suffered defeat in the competitions he has participated in! ”
The reporter left the Dutch fans and said to the camera: "Although the Dutch fans are worried about tonight's final, they are full of confidence in Chen. Let's go interview with the Spanish fans. ”
The reporter went to the place where the Spanish fans gathered, and the Spanish fans shouted into the camera lens: "Spain must win!" Spain must win! Spain must win! ”
After the fans calmed down, the reporter asked, "What do you think about the final?" ”
One fan, who is not yet 20 years old, preemptively said: "Spain will have a crushing victory tonight!" ”
The reporter asked: "Are you supporters of Real Madrid or supporters of Barcelona?" ”
The fan on the right pointed to the number behind him and said: "Of course we are Barcelona fans, this is Xavi's shirt!" ”
The reporter then approached the Real Madrid fans and asked: "Will you support Chan or Spain tonight?" ”
The question was a source of confusion for the fans, with one fan in his thirties saying: "Of course we support Spain, but if Chen performs well, we will give him a round of applause." ”
The younger fan standing next to him said: "The best ending is that Spain won the championship, and Chen gave us a wonderful goal!" ”
After the reporter left the Real Madrid fans, he looked at the camera and said: "We can see from the expressions and words of the Real Madrid fans that the Real Madrid fans are entangled. This same scene occurred in the '90 World Cup, when Italy and Argentina met in the semi-finals, and Italian fans were quite entangled because of Maradona. ”
"Judging from this phenomenon, Chen is approaching Maradona!"
