Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 80 If we win, will Platini be unhappy (first one, ask for a monthly pass!)

"This is not shameless, this is simply shameless!" After Platini was interviewed, an Italian reporter complained in private. "How can anyone support Lyon so blatantly? He is the president of UEFA! "I am a Frenchman", shit! He doesn't admit it, he thinks everyone else is a fool!"

"I am really worried about Naples now..."

"We all know who Platini is. We also know very well what he did... What UEFA will never control the game. We still remember what happened at Stamford Bridge in the first half of the year!"

The "Stamford Bridge incident in the first half of the year" referred to by reporters means that in the first half of this year, Chelsea played against Barcelona at home in the Champions League semi-finals.

Prior to this, Chelsea had a 0-0 draw in the away game, which is a very good result. Going back to the home court can advance to the final by winning.

I remembered that game... it is still controversial. The referee has become a well-deserved protagonist in the game, and every penalty he makes is quite controversial. He made a penalty against Chelsea almost only once in the entire game, and the result was still wrong...that is, that wrong penalty gave the Barcelona people an excuse to refute—"Look, the referee has sent us a penalty, you guys. How embarrassed to say that the referee is biased towards us?"

But this is the truth... Chelsea players fell to the ground in Barcelona's penalty area and the referee turned a blind eye. Barcelona players handball in their penalty area, the referee turned a blind eye.

Ballack and Drogba even furiously didn't even kick the ball, so they protested loudly around the referee.

But it's useless.

At Chelsea’s home court, amid the boos of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, the Norwegian referee Tomhenning has stifled Chelsea’s hopes time and time again.

In the 81st minute of the second half, Pique made a mistake when he stopped the ball in the penalty area. The ball hit his open right hand, so obvious handball referees turned a blind eye. At that time, Chelsea led by one goal. If the handball is sentenced to a penalty, Chelsea can seal the victory.

The second handball took place in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Ballack's shot from the penalty area hit the upper left arm of the defender, and 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 counts, Chelsea will kill Barcelona through this penalty and break into the Champions League for two consecutive years. finals. But the referee didn't say anything.

In addition to these two obvious penalties, the referee also has a number of penalties that are very debatable. In the twenty-third minute, Malouda broke through Alves from the left. Although the referee called the foul, the slow motion showed that the foul was in the penalty area rather than outside the penalty area. In the twenty-sixth minute, Drogba drove the ball into the penalty area. , Abidal kicked and knocked down Warcraft. Without his foul Drogba should be able to complete a single-handed shot very well, but the referee did not say.

Of course, the referee is not a machine, it is a human being, and he will always make mistakes if he is a human being. It's okay to make a mistake or two in a game. However, the concentration of errors in a game, and the victims of the errors are all Chelsea, can be suspicious.

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

The Chelsea team is totally unacceptable to this result. At home, they did not lose at the feet of Barcelona. Their tactics were successful and the players performed well. It was not until the ninety-three minutes that the powerful Barcelona scored one. The ball, and if it weren’t for the referee to interfere with their emotions, it’s hard to say whether the ball will show up... They lost to the referee’s hands. This kind of bewildered way of losing makes it difficult for Chelsea players. Suppress 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 into the camera lens: "This is a **** shame! You don't deserve to be respected!" How can you do such a thing? Shame! Shame! You're a **** shame!" He pointed at the referee Hening, who seemed to be smashing the opponent.

In the end, Barcelona entered Roma with a goal from Iniesta, and defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the final. Guardiola won the six crowns in the first season of coaching the team. This Champions League championship is crucial. important. Going back, this semi-final is probably the most important step in the dynasty of the Barcelona Dream Team...

After the game, the media have questioned the game, but they are more rational than the purely angry fans. They did not accuse Barcelona of bribing the referee because it is very difficult and Barcelona is unlikely to do this kind of thing.

In fact, the answer is very simple, everyone 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 Godfather". But this time, it has little to do with Barcelona. They will also benefit if they meet Chelsea in this game with other teams.

Because this is simply a contest between UEFA and the Premier League.

Starting from the 06-07 season, the 07-08 season, the 08-09 season, for three consecutive seasons, there are three English teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and these three teams are the same, all Manchester United and 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, from the 04-05 season, for five consecutive seasons, a team from the Premier League has reached the finals and won twice. The Champions League final of the 07-08 season turned into a civil war in England. Manchester United and Chelsea fought for 120 minutes in the heavy rain at Luzhniki Stadium, and finally won by penalty kick.

And last season's Champions League semi-finals saw great hopes to develop into the English Civil War, this time the intolerable Platini finally shot! He absolutely cannot tolerate that the Champions League final, which represents the highest level of honor in Europe, becomes the UEFA Cup!

After observing the first round, it was found that Chelsea was very tenacious, and they even drew Barcelona 0-0 in the away game. According to the story, the story continues to develop. I am afraid that the audience will have to repeat the finals of Chelsea and Manchester United. ...... When those audiences who will turn on their TV to watch the Champions League final see the match between the two sides, will they think that they have traveled back to a year ago?

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 president of UEFA, he certainly wants to kill the prestige of English football. He believes that the attitude of pursuing money in the Premier League is a kind of damage to football. If things go on like this, football will be completely controlled by money. He wanted to break away from the Premier League-style business philosophy, so he began to toss the New Deal, demanding that by 2012, all teams must break even, transfer funds must come from their own operating income, and cannot accept foreign capital injections. This is a bolt from the blue for many Premier League teams acquired by foreign capital.

In terms of the economics of the neck of the Premier League team, he started to think about the competition again. The Premier League is not under his control, but the UEFA Cup and the Champions League are his turf. Isn't he in charge here?

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

After the game, Henning admitted that he had made some penalties in the game. Obviously, this was a way of taking the responsibility entirely on himself.

But there are still many media that point the finger at UEFA led by Platini.

UEFA has always insisted that the results of the draw are random, but several times to arrange the teams with gimmicks together, once or twice can be said to be a coincidence, three times, four times and five times? It must be said that there are factors that consider the arrangement.

The ravens in the world are generally black. FIFA has had election bribery scandals. The AFC has been fighting for East Asia and West Asia for so many years. Therefore, it is wishful thinking that UEFA is a fair, efficient and clean organization. The biggest joke of the century.

Those European media who report on European football are also very clear about the virtues of UEFA, and criticisms about UEFA are endless. But UEFA always has a way to press down these voices. After all, they dominate the entire European football and their power is unimaginable.

Nowadays, some Italian journalists worry that Platini will extend his black hand to Naples to challenge Lyon in this 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 easy to explain in China.

Obviously, Porto can't bring any glory to French football. Only Lyon's performance can guarantee the Ligue 1 team's Champions League seat, which is crucial. No matter what method is used, it is necessary to ensure that Lyon appears in the next stage of the knockout stage, and then draw them and Lyon's bitter Real Madrid... Real Madrid can continue to dream eight, and Lyon is almost equivalent to being sent to the quarterfinals.

This abacus is so good...

However, the above are all speculations of the reporters. Before the lack of evidence, even before the game started, they could not jump out so arbitrarily and insinuate accusing Platini.

All the answers and the truth will be clear by the time of the game...

※※※

Compared with the black-bellied reporters, the Naples players obviously didn’t think so much. They even held Platini to watch the game and it was an honor for them. They were honored to show one of the best in front of the UEFA president. Of Naples.

Maybe, it can still be favored by UEFA...

They certainly know that Platini is French, but obviously everyone wants to believe that such a big man speaks with weight and principle. He said that he is supporting Lyon as a Frenchman.

As a Frenchman, it is normal for him to cheer for Lyon... Maradona still cheered for Naples before this game, he is not even an Italian.

However, Chen Yingxiong suddenly asked a question, which made many teammates unresponsive for a while.

"You said... Would Platini be upset if we win Lyon away?"
