My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 100 Be careful with Platini!

Zhang Jun is right.

After the game.

The focus of this game was completely out of focus.

What everyone is paying attention to is the final penalty call, the conflict at the last moment, and the remarks of Platini and all parties.

in England.

Fans have revived the story of the Stamford Bridge tragedy.

The scene of Drogba shouting shame into the camera once again appeared frequently on television.

Some TV stations also edited this scene together with the scene of Li Mo angrily denouncing shame during the post-match interview.

"Maybe Barcelona is innocent, but why are there always victims when playing against Barcelona?"

A British TV presenter complained on his show.

The English certainly dislike Platini.

Because in the past few years, when three of the top four teams in the Premier League were from the Premier League, Platini publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with this situation.

Moreover, he believes that a league like the Premier League that does not have strict enough restrictions on foreign investment is damaging to the football world.

Especially with the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, two gold-dollar teams in the Premier League, UEFA is very worried about this situation.

Many people believe that Platini suppressed the Premier League - although no one has evidence, just like the penalty kick in the game between Arsenal and Barcelona.

Bruchy admitted after the game that he didn't see it clearly.

What can you do?

Everyone admitted that it was a misjudgment.

Can you still play this game again?

After the game.

Media from various countries cannot avoid this topic in their reports.

After returning to London, Arsenal players can feel that the overwhelming public opinion is now focused on the penalty kick.

But when they returned to the training ground.

Wenger gathered all the players together before training started.

"Guys, I had a look at the newsstand near my house before I came to the training ground."

Wenger looked at his players calmly and his tone seemed very gentle. He had long lost the anger he had at the Camp Nou the day before yesterday.

In fact, after returning to London, Wenger and his coaching staff conducted an analysis.

I think that although it was a pity to be defeated by a penalty kick at the end, in fact, the score of 3 to 2 was not unacceptable to Arsenal.

Although they lost, there were two away goals.

Before going to Camp Nou, the team was also mentally prepared to lose.

And now the team has successfully defeated away goals, and there are still two.

It can be said that Arsenal achieved their set goals at Camp Nou.

That being the case.

There is no point in continuing to dwell on the penalty kick. They must look forward. Obsessing about the past will only hold Arsenal back.

"Now almost all newspapers are talking about that penalty kick and that misjudgment, and they are all feeling sorry for us."

Wenger paused here.

"But I want to say that this is because all the fans are discussing this penalty kick now, but this discussion does not help us at all, because even if everyone says this is a misjudgment, it cannot change the fait accompli! Therefore, Let’s not think about it anymore. Having said that, I have to pay tribute to you guys for completing a great game!”

Wenger's voice made the Arsenal players, who looked a little frustrated, raise their heads.

"Yes, you did a great job."

Wenger laughed.

"Lee, congratulations on breaking the record. After the game, all the media should make you the headline."

"Thank you." Li Mo said, "If I score in the next game, I will still set a record and I can still make headlines, but I would rather eliminate Barcelona!"

"Well said!" Wenger nodded appreciatively, "We can score two goals against them in the away game and two goals against Barcelona, ​​the so-called Cosmos team. Is there anything we can't do?"

"Forget about that damn penalty, from now on, all our attention will be on the next Champions League game!"

"Eliminate Barcelona and advance to the semi-finals!"

Wenger's voice became louder.

"Eliminate Barcelona! Enter the semi-finals!"

All the players chanted in unison.

Everyone is holding a fire in their hearts.

If there is no correct guidance, this fire may burn himself, but now, Wenger chooses to lead this fire to his opponent.

In order to express to the players his determination to "fight to the death with Barcelona".

In the 31st round of the league, in the away game against West Bromwich Albion, Wenger made a very large rotation.

Almost all the main players are not starting, and everyone can get a week's rest to recuperate and wait for the second round of the contest with Barcelona.

结果

Arsenal lost 1-3 on the road.

Fortunately, Manchester United's opponent in this round of the league is Manchester City.

Manchester City was quite impressive against their rivals in the same city, overthrowing Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford.

As a result, the point difference between Arsenal and Manchester United is still three points.

After the game.

Many Arsenal fans were chanting "Thank you Manchester City".

But in fact, for Manchester City, they are also fighting for themselves.

Although they are behind by more points.

But who can say that they can't complete their counterattack with seven or eight rounds left in the league?

After this game.

Many media have mentioned one word: championship luck.

Yes.

Champions also need a bit of luck.

Now it seems that Arsenal is very lucky this season.

In the case of losing in rotation, I happened to meet my opponent and lost.

A three point difference.

This makes the head-to-head match between Arsenal and Manchester United attract more attention.

But before that.

All eyes are focused on North London, the Emirates Stadium.

The highlight of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is Arsenal's home game against Barcelona.

Barcelona's players arrived in London two days early.

From the moment they appeared at the airport, they felt the development of British media.

Cameras of all sizes filmed them in all directions, 360 degrees, without blind spots.

Where did Barcelona go, what hotel did they stay in, where did they train on the first day, who were the players who participated in the training, etc., all kinds of details were overwhelming.

However, Barcelona did not deliberately avoid the media. They believe that they have an advantage and believe that the overall strength of the team is strong, and they disdain to play the media silence method.

When facing the media.

Barcelona's players showed considerable confidence.

Xavi: We know the game at the Emirates Stadium will be difficult, but we are here to advance.

Iniesta; advancing to the semi-finals is Barcelona's unanimous goal.

Messi: We will advance.

Pique: It will be us who advance, and we will not consider the referee's issue.

Alves: I still want to emphasize that I did not dive. We won't think about the referee, we will play a good game here.

That's when Barcelona's players took to the media to take a stand.

UEFA also announced the referee arrangements for this game.

The referee arranged for this game is not the German Brüsch, but the Norwegian Sve Odvar Moen.

This is a referee who has been reused in UEFA competition series in recent years.

But for the media in England.

When they saw the referee was Norwegian.

Almost all the media mentioned another Norwegian: Herning Ovreber

The Norwegian referee who caused the Stamford Bridge tragedy once received death threats from Chelsea fans, and later faded out of the refereeing world due to too much psychological pressure.

Now this high-profile contest has another Norwegian referee.

This has to make people think.

For Platini to securely hold the position of UEFA president, the support from small countries in Eastern and Northern Europe is crucial.

After Platini became the president of UEFA, he did tilt his resources towards these traditional small football countries - of course, compared with the big football countries such as England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. Small country.

For example, the Champions League competition gives more places to minor leagues.

For example, when it comes to the training of referees, UEFA has also allocated resources to these small football countries.

Let these small country referees referee the Champions League, Europa League, European Cup and other events.

When the English media saw this refereeing arrangement, they started shouting that Arsenal should "beware of Platini".

"Daily Mail": Another referee from Norway, Arsenal must be more alert.

"Star": I think Arsenal fans must be very nervous now. They may not only have to fight against Barcelona.

"The Sun": The Norwegian has a personal relationship with Platini

For a while.

British newspapers have taken to the issue of refereeing.

"Arsenal, be careful with Platini!"

This sentence has almost become a buzzword on British social media in the past two days.

The buzzword is even starting to spread.

In Spain, many people are chanting this sentence.

Among them are the Spanish media, headed by the Madrid media. Regardless of whether it is true or false, these words can pour dirty water on Barcelona and smear Barcelona's image. They don't care about anything else.

The media in Catalonia are very unhappy with this "popular phenomenon".

"Daily Sports": "Those teams are jealous and afraid of Barcelona's strength, so they want to discredit Barcelona and link Barcelona's victory with the so-called "referee care." But this just shows that they are in the arena. If we can't beat Barcelona, ​​we will put more emphasis on the refereeing factor."

The English media "North London Evening News" continuously showed scenes of Alves' exaggerated fall.

"Arsenal are just not as good as Barcelona in how they fall."

The media on both sides started a war of public opinion, and with the support of the Madrid media, the Italian media was also helping Arsenal speak out because of Li Mo.

At the end.

The editor-in-chief of "World Sports News" yelled on the official Twitter: "This is the bullying of Barcelona by the whole of Europe!"

The other fans were naturally ridiculed.

But his words managed to unite Barcelona fans and players.

We in Barcelona are being bullied all over Europe.

Naturally, they have to slap Arsenal in the face during the game.

When Platini saw the reports from various countries, his face turned dark with anger.

"These British people are spreading rumors without evidence!"

After hearing his boss's words, an assistant couldn't help but remind him: "Is it still called a rumor if there is evidence?"

Platini's face turned darker when he heard this.

"Pay attention to your mentality."

Inzaghi called Li Mo.

But he didn't mention the referee.

In his words.

The waters of UEFA are very deep, and you, a young man of 17 or 18 years old, cannot grasp it.

"Don't give them a chance to send you off, you know what I mean?"

"Uncle, do they really dare to blow the whistle in this situation?"

Li Mo was a little surprised.

This is the Champions League quarter-finals.

Even if Platini likes Barcelona and Messi, can he use the Champions League brand to joke?

This is UEFA's money bag.

"Black whistle?" Inzaghi shook his head, looking like you are still too young.

"I'm a referee, why should I blow a black whistle? Do you think those top European referees are so incompetent?"

"That"

"As long as someone double-standards you, it will be very difficult for you. They will call you a foul for five or five goals. That kind of action is between a foul and a non-foul. If they don't call it, they will call you. In this way, you will be called a foul every game. The ball will be lost for at least ten minutes, and the offensive opportunities will be reduced by ten or twenty times. How can you win under such circumstances?"

Inzaghi's words made Li Mo thoughtful.

The night before the game.

Li Mo's neighbors also came to cheer Li Mo up.

"Keep it up, we'll support you from the stands!"

"Don't be afraid of Platini, he can't go up and kick."

"I don't believe they can tell the truth!"

"The most important thing is to change your mentality. Li, your mentality must be stable."

Looking at everyone's worried eyes.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've always had a good temper. It's not like you don't know that."
