Chapter 143 Godfather or real father?

".Malaga has arrived in Lyon. They just walked out of the airport hall. For the Lyon team, although this opponent is not a traditional giant, they are now the first team in the La Liga standings. This is not easy to deal with!"

".If Lyon wants to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they must play well at home. Malaga has no experience in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. This may be Lyon's advantage!"

on the TV screen.

The players of Malaga are walking out of the airport. There are fans picking up the airport on both sides of the road. It can be seen that most of them are Chinese faces-maybe most of the fans of the Malaga team in other parts of Europe are Dragon country people.

There is no doubt that this is brought by the Malaga No. 10 who appeared close-up on the TV screen.

Lyon coach Remy Gard looked at Ye Luo on the TV, shook his head, and threw out the muddy and chaotic thoughts in his head.

Arsenal star and French football star Remy is only 45 years old this year, which is quite young from the perspective of a head coach.

He took office at the beginning of this season.

Replacing Claude Puel, who had a poor record last season.

As a French giants.

Lyon's record shines through the annals of history.However, last season Lyon ran into trouble.

In the league, Lille won the championship, and Lyon ranked third after Marseille.

In the first knockout round of the Champions League, Lyon lost to Real Madrid.

In the French Cup, Lyon was eliminated by Nice.

In the League Cup, Lyon were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain.

Fighting on four fronts, the four fronts were completely defeated.

As head coach, Claude Puel is to blame.

So after the end of the season, Claude Puel was fired and Rémi Garde took over.

Remy Gard is actually a famous player in Lyon, a legendary player of Lyon. He was born in Lyon's youth training and devoted the prime time of his career to Lyon, but the peak of his career was obtained at Arsenal.

In 1996, he joined Arsenal with Vieira.In three seasons, Remy Gard won 43 appearances under Wenger.

In the 1997/98 season, Remy Gard helped Arsenal win the Premier League title.

That year, Arsenal also won the FA Cup, thanks to Remy Gard.

But now, this Lyon and Arsenal star has been thinking all over his mind these days: how to contain Ye Luo?
Obviously, he hasn't thought of a good solution yet—after all, although Remy was a very famous player in his player days, as a coach, his reputation is really not very good, and he hasn't achieved any great achievements. Overall a relatively mediocre head coach.

This is actually quite normal.

A good player is not necessarily a good coach.

A good coach doesn't need to be a good player either.

Mourinho's player era was just a little-known little character. If you want to talk about the achievements of the player era, Remy Garr can beat Mourinho by ten blocks.

But in terms of achievements as a head coach, Remy Gard can't keep up with Mourinho.

Just when Remy picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV.

The TV screen flickered.

The figure of the current UEFA President Michel Platini appeared.

This is an exclusive interview with Platini on France Sport [-].

I don't know what question the host asked.

But what Platini said made Remy put down the remote.

".We are looking into financial issues at some clubs and if they breach Financial Fair Play, I think we will take action!"

Platini said with that very official smile on his face.

The host showed a very interested look: "For example? These clubs will be fined, or banned from the European competition??"

"Yes, we will take very severe measures. If the investigated clubs cannot maintain their financial balance before 2012, then they will be punished!" Platini said.

"For example? Can you tell me which clubs are there?"

"Of course, it's no secret that those clubs that have received capital injection from the consortium, such as the Malaga club in La Liga," Platini said.

The host was stunned for a moment.

He moved his body with obvious anxiety, and he didn't seem to expect that Platini would mention Malaga,

To know.

There are now only two days until the start of the match between Malaga and Lyon.

Lyon is currently the only seedling in Ligue [-] in the Champions League, and Platini is French and the chairman of UEFA.

He directly mentioned Malaga's name in the media.
This seems a bit inappropriate.

But Platini smiled slightly, he seemed to see the embarrassment and anxiety of the host.

"It's nothing. We are very frank. The investigation of financial issues will not affect the team's performance in the Champions League. Can we still manipulate the game?" Pledini leaned forward, as if he had said something It was a big joke, and I laughed "hahahahaha".

The host of France Sport [-] also laughed.

His restlessness and embarrassment also disappeared.

Yes.

Platini is French.

He definitely has to do something for the good of French football.

Now in the Champions League knockout round, Lyon is the only seedling in Ligue [-].

If the only seedling in Ligue [-] is in the top sixteen, it will be eliminated.

So what's the situation in Ligue [-]?
What's wrong with French football?

If this continues, the title of the fifth largest Ligue [-] league will be surpassed by the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League.

And Platini is no longer just a football player.

He is now the president of UEFA, a political animal, and his every move has a deep meaning.

The host looked at Platini with a smile on his face.

Even Platini is not afraid, what is he afraid of?
So he followed Platini's topic and asked: "But Malaga has a strong momentum this season. They are now No. [-] in La Liga. If they win the Champions League but are punished in the financial investigation, they can't do it. Wouldn't it be good to participate in the Champions League next season?"

"Of course, of course, it would be inappropriate for the defending champion of the Champions League to miss the Champions League next season." Platini showed that meaningful smile again. "So I think it's going to be a good game and the really good teams will get through."

"So you're going to watch the game at the Parc Olympiad in Lyon?"

the host asked.

"Why not? Of course, I didn't go as UEFA president, I went to the game as an ordinary Frenchman."

Platini smiled.

It's really a distinction between public and private.

Remy Gard turned off the TV, his eyes flashed.
His team seems to see some hope of advancing.

after all
Lyon is the only seedling in Ligue [-].

It seems to have a very strong supporter.
"Shameless! Too shameless!!"

After the TV show aired.

Many Spanish journalists complained in private.

"Before the big war, it was unheard of for a UEFA president to favor a team so much!"

"Malaga is finished."

"We know what Platini did, hehe"

"The semi-final of the 2008-2009 season, the incident at Stamford Bridge." A Madrid reporter sneered.

"Hey, hey, you have to talk about evidence!!" A Catalan reporter retorted.

The so-called "Stanford Bridge incident" refers to the 2008-2009 Champions League semi-final match between Chelsea and Barcelona.

Before that, Chelsea drew [-]-[-] with Barcelona in an away game. This is a very good result. Back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea only needs to win to advance.

But that game.
It became a very controversial game.

In short, the final result was that Barcelona advanced to the final with great controversy, and defeated Manchester United [-]-[-] in the final.

Guardiola won six titles in his first season as Barcelona's head coach.

This is also the beginning of Guardiola's dream three era.

After the game, the media questioned the game.

Of course.

The media will not say that Barcelona buy referees.

Barcelona are not capable of this, and they are unlikely to do such a thing.

That being the case.

The only one who can play tricks is Platini, who has expressed his love for Barcelona and Messi in public more than once.

In fact, this is also a contest between UEFA and the Premier League.

As the Premier League has fully entered the golden dollar football era.

The competitiveness of the Premier League teams began to rise.

From the 06-07 season.

06-07赛季、07-08赛季、08-09赛季。

For three consecutive seasons, there have been at least three English teams in the Champions League semi-finals.

And these three teams are all the same, all of them are Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

The only difference is another team.

The 06-07 season was AC Milan.

The other two seasons were Barcelona.

In fact.

From the 04-05 season to the 08-09 season.

For five consecutive seasons, at least one Premier League team has reached the final.

The Champions League final of the 07-08 season turned into a Premier League civil war.

Manchester United and Chelsea battle for the title.

and so.

Platini, who was already unhappy with Jinyuan football, made a move-in order to prevent the 08-09 UEFA Champions League final from turning into a Premier League civil war, he hacked Chelsea.

These are all media speculations without any evidence.

It's just speculation, conspiracy theories, and everyone is just watching for fun.

But Platini has indeed been very dissatisfied with the Premier League's overly money-seeking attitude more than once.

He sees it as a disservice to football.

So the policy of fiscal fair play came into being.

This policy requires UEFA's teams to maintain a balance of payments, and all transfer funds must come from their own operating income.

This is a bolt from the blue for many teams that were acquired by foreign funds.

And even if Malaga hit the gunpoint-after the emergence of the Financial Fair Play Act, it still "committed crimes against the wind", which naturally made Platini very embarrassed.

Now, before the match between Malaga and Lyon, Platini talked about "UEFA is investigating Malaga".

This is an anomaly in itself.

Many Spanish media are worried that Malaga may be hacked.

First of all, Platini is French. It is normal for him to support Lyon, and it is normal for him to consider the interests of Ligue [-].

Secondly, engaging in Malaga is also to warn those clubs that accept foreign funds-for UEFA, a small club like Malaga is a good target for killing chickens and monkeys, isn’t it?

but.

These are just speculations by the media.

As for the evidence?

Who can find evidence?

Platini is the president of UEFA, but people also have freedom of speech.

Can talking on TV affect the outcome of the game?
Many French media have said so.

In Dragon Country.

The fans have already started to scold.

"Platini is... publicly shameless!"

"Godfather! Godfather!"

"What godfather, this is my own father, much better than godfather!"

"What about Malaga? Will it really be eliminated?"

"Not necessarily. To be honest, I'm a little worried now."

The fans talked a lot and felt uneasy.

But what about the end result.

We'll have to wait until the game to find out.
