Chapter 80: If We Win, Will Platini Be Unhappy (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
"It's not a toothless, it's simply a toothless ()!" After Platini's interview, some Italian journalists complained in private. "How can anyone be so blatantly supportive of Lyon? He's the UEFA president! Say what 'I'm a fǎ囯人'苟fart!' If he doesn't admit it himself, he thinks that everyone else is a sprinkler! ”
"I'm really worried about Napoli right now......"
"We all know exactly who Platini is. What he did, we know very well...... What does UEFA never say, we all remember what happened at Stamford Bridge in the first half of the year! ”
The "Stamford Bridge incident in the first half of the year" refers to the Champions League semi-final in the first half of this year, when Chelsea hosted Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final.
Prior to that, Chelsea had a 0-0 draw away from home, which was a very good result. Back at home, you only need to win to advance to the final.
Credited with that game...... It is still controversial to this day, and the referee has become the undisputed protagonist in the game, and every time he makes a decision, it is quite controversial. Almost once in the game he was awarded a Chelsea penalty, and it turned out to be ...... That was the wrong decision that gave the Barcelona people an excuse to refute - "You see, the referee has sent us off by one person, why are you embarrassed to say that the referee is biased in our favor?" ”
But that's just the way it is...... The Chelsea player went down in Barcelona's Jìn district and the referee turned a blind eye. The Barcelona player handballed in his own zone and the referee turned a blind eye.
Ballack and Drogba even played angrily, not even kicking the ball, and shouted around the referee.
But it didn't work.
At Chelsea's home stadium, to the boos of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, Norwegian referee Tom Brown. Henin hing), again and again stifling Chelsea's hopes.
In the 81st minute of the second half, Pique made a mistake when stopping the ball in the Jìn area, and the ball hit his open right hand, so obvious that the handball referee turned a blind eye. Chelsea were one goal ahead at the time, and if the handball had been awarded a penalty, Chelsea would have sealed the win.
The second handball came in the fifth minute of stoppage time, when Ballack's shot from the area hit the defender's left upper arm, and the referee, who was close by, signalled for the game to continue. Barcelona relied on Andres Iniesta's 93rd-minute goal to level the aggregate score, and if that penalty counts, Chelsea would have beaten Barcelona through the penalty to reach the Champions League final for the second year in a row. But the referee didn't say anything.
In addition to these two obvious penalties, the referee also made a number of decisions that were very debatable. In the 23rd minute, Malouda broke through Alves on the left, and although the referee blew for a foul, the slow camera showed that the foul was in the jìn area and not outside the jìn area; In the 26th minute, Drogba dribbled into the jìn area, Abidal pulled and kicked down the monster, and without his foul, Drogba should have been able to complete a single dāo shot well, but the referee did not indicate it.
Of course, the referee is no, it's a human being, and if it's a human being, it will always make mistakes. It's okay to make one or two mistakes in a game. But the concentration of mistakes in a game, and the fact that Chelsea are all victims of the mistakes, is suspicious.
After the game, some media questioned the referee's decision.
The whole Chelsea team could not accept such a result at all, at home, they did not lose at the feet of Barcelona, their tactics were successful, the players played well, and it was not until the 93rd minute that the firepower Barcelona scored a goal, and it is difficult to say whether this goal would have appeared if it had not been for the referee interfering with their emotions...... They lost at the hands of the referee, and it was a humiliating way of losing that made it difficult for the Chelsea players to contain their anger. After the game, Drogba was the first to rush onto the pitch to confront the referee, and when he was pulled down by his teammates, he shouted at the camera: "This is a real insult!" You don't deserve to be respected at all! How could you do such a thing? Tooth humiliation! Insulting! You're a tooth insult! He pointed at the referee Henin on the lower field, as if to break the opponent.
In the end, Barcelona scored a goal from Andres Iniesta and beat Manchester United 2-0 in the final, and Pep Guardiola won six crowns in his first season in charge, and this Champions League title is crucial. And going back in time, this semi-final may be the most crucial step for the Barcelona Dream three-team dynasty......
After the game, the media questioned the match, but they were much more rational than the simply angry fans, and they did not blame the Barcelona referee because it was very difficult and Barcelona was unlikely to do such a thing.
In fact, the answer is very simple, everyone has their eyes on UEFA host Si Platini.
Platini has expressed his support and affection for Barcelona on more than one occasion, which has earned him the nickname "Poplar Daddy". But this time, it doesn't have much to do with Barcelona and they will benefit if other teams meet Chelsea in this game.
Because it's a battle between UEFA and the Premier League.
Starting from the 06-07 season, the 07-08 season, the 08-09 season, three consecutive seasons, there are three English teams in the final four of the Champions League, and all three teams are the same, all Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. The only difference is the other team. The 06-07 season was AC Milan and the remaining two seasons were all Barcelona.
Not only that, but since the 04-05 season, for five consecutive seasons, a team from the Premier League has reached the final and won the championship twice. The 07-08 Champions League final turned into a civil war in England, with Manchester United and Chelsea battling it out in the rain at Luzhniki Stadium for 120 minutes before winning on penalties.
And last season's Champions League semi-finals also saw great hope of developing into an English civil war, and at this time, Platini, who couldn't bear it, finally made a move! He will not tolerate the Champions League final, which represents the highest level of honour in Europe, becoming the FA Cup!
After observing the first leg, it was found that Chelsea were very tenacious, and even drew 0-0 away from Barcelona, and the story continued to develop according to this urine, but I am afraid that the audience will have to watch Chelsea and Manchester United meet again in the final...... Will those viewers who turn on their TVs to watch the Europa League final think they have traveled back in time to a year ago when they see the two sides?
In fact, Platini has been dissatisfied with the Premier League for a long time, but he was not in charge before. Now that it has become the seat of UEFA, of course, it will kill the prestige of English football. He believes that the Premier League's money-seeking attitude is a disservice to football, which will be completely controlled by money in the long run. He wanted to break away from the Premier League-style business philosophy, so he began to toss the new policy, requiring that by 2012, all teams must break even, and transfer funds must come from their own operating income, and they cannot accept external injections. This is a bolt from the blue for many Premier League teams that are bought by foreign capital.
Financially stuck in the neck of the Premier League team, he began to play on the competitive side again. The Premier League is not under his control, but the UEFA Cup and Champions League are his turf, and it is not up to him to decide here?
That's why there was the Stamford Bridge scene in the first half of this year.
Henin admitted after the game that he had taken some of the penalties in the game, and it was clear that he was putting the blame on himself.
But there are still many media outlets pointing the finger at Platini's UEFA team.
UEFA has always insisted that the draw results are random, but several times those teams with gimmicks have been arranged together, once or twice can be said to be a coincidence, three, four, five? It is impossible not to say that there is an element of arrangement.
The world is as black as a crow, FIFA has a bribery scandal, and the AFC has been fighting for East Asia and West Asia for so many years, so wishful thinking that UEFA is a fair, fair, efficient and honest institution is undoubtedly the biggest joke of this century.
The European media covering European football are also well aware of UEFA's virtues, and criticism of UEFA is endless. But UEFA always has a way of silencing these voices. After all, they rule all of European football and have unimaginably large power.
Now, some Italian journalists are worried that Platini will extend his black hand to Napoli's away game against Lyon.
Reason?
It's too simple, Platini is French, he always has to think about the interests of French football, otherwise he will not be able to explain it at home.
Porto are clearly unable to bring much glory to French football, and only Lyon's performance will guarantee a Champions League place for Ligue 1 teams, which is crucial (). Either way, Lyon must be guaranteed to be in the knockout stages of the next stage, and then they will be drawn with Lyon's bitter rivals Real Madrid...... Real Madrid can continue to dream of eight, while Lyon is almost guaranteed to be in the quarter-finals.
That's a really good plan......
However, all of this is speculation by journalists, and they can't jump out and insinuate against Platini so arbitrarily until there is no evidence, and even before the game has even started.
All the answers and the truth will be clear when it comes to the competition......
※※※
Compared to the black-bellied journalists, the Napoli players clearly didn't think much of it, and they even brought Platini to the game, which was honoured to show the best of Napoli in front of the UEFA main bench.
Maybe it will win the favor of UEFA because of this......
Of course, they knew that Platini was French, but it was clear that everyone wanted to believe that such a big man was weighty and principled, and that was true when he said that he was supporting Lyon as a Frenchman.
As a Frenchman, it's normal for him to cheer for Lyon...... Maradona was still cheering for Napoli before this game, he was not even Italian.
However, Chen Yingying suddenly asked a question, which made many teammates not react for a while.
"You say...... Would Platini be unhappy if we win away at Lyon? ”
