Chapter 81 Beware of Platini! (Secondly, ask for monthly pass)

When Platini appeared on the podium, the political, business, and football celebrities who were already sitting on their seats stood up, greeted Platini and shook hands. As the legendary star of France and now the president of UEFA, Platini has a high popularity among the French.

The chairman of the Lyon Club Olas led Platini to the very center of the front row of the podium, which is the best place to watch the game.

At this time, the players on both sides were still warming up, and the boring live TV footage quickly captured Platini's arrival and the "grand event" on the podium.

The chairman of Naples de Laurentiis also followed the team to the away game to cheer the team, but instead of sitting on the podium, he chose one of the boxes and sat here to compare with the team’s general manager. Gang watched the game together.

They also saw Platini's appearance on the TV screen.

"It's a big scene." Bigan smiled, and he couldn't hear any respect for the man in power in UEFA.

"This is their home court." De Laurentiis shook his head, retracted his gaze from the TV screen, and stared again at the players who were warming up on the court.

In fact, Naples should have no pressure in this game, because they have already appeared in advance, and Lyon is also more optimistic, thinking that this game must be friendship first and second in the game. Naples, who has already qualified ahead of schedule, sold their personal affection to Lyon, and the two teams joined hands to qualify, which is great joy.

But de Laurentiis thinks otherwise. Losing to Lyon, your team will be able to qualify second in the group, and then die in the eighth finals like a giant like Barcelona?

Why should Naples sacrifice himself, perfect others, and send Lyon to the top of the group, and face those super difficult opponents by himself.

So he agrees with Mazzari's goal of "striving for the first in the group". We Napoli are never good people who sacrifice ourselves to perfect others!

He thought of one thing. Before the game, he received a call from a reporter with a good relationship, reminding him to pay attention to Platini. He didn't understand why he should be careful with Platini. Is it because he publicly announced his support for Lyon and came to the scene to cheer Lyon? So what's so scary about? It’s impossible for Lyon’s players to be as good as the blood because of Platini’s support. Platini may not have that much influence... If you switch to Maradona to watch the Naples game live, the whole Naples team Upside down has a greater possibility of transforming into Superman.

Platini is not a legendary figure in Lyon, how can his influence on Lyon be comparable to that of Maradona on Naples?

Then be careful what is he doing? Is it possible that he can go off the court personally to help Lyon play?

Hahaha!

Thinking of this, de Laurentiis can't help but laugh-it's ridiculous!

※※※

Platini was sitting in his seat and greeting people around him.

Olas looked very happy. It was an honor for Lyon to let a big man like Platini come to watch the game and publicly support Lyon, and it was definitely a boost to Lyon's morale. He thinks Lyon can already win the game...

No matter how dark Naples is, can it be dark at our home court in Lyon?

At that time, we have a strong home court advantage. Just the booing of the home fans will be enough to make your legs unable to straighten up!

Platini just stared at the court intently, even though there was nothing on the court at this time, and the warm-up players from both sides had already left the court.

He stared at the court dreamily, eyes deep, no one knew what he was thinking.

Maybe it is considering the development plan of European football...

But in fact, what Platini is thinking is... There will be no mistakes in this game, right?

※※※

Olas thought that Naples would perform badly on the road, but the facts are completely different from what he thought.

Naples didn't know what they had eaten. From the beginning of the game, they saved enough energy and did not show stage fright. They played the most annoying set of tactics in the away game.

Since you want to win, you must have a strategy. You can't rely on a lot of enthusiasm, and you can't fight for victory.

Mazzari knows that Lyon is eager to win the game, and they have a home advantage. Lyon will definitely not choose the tactics, so they will press out to attack, looking forward to a fierce offensive and an early goal to let Naples die and accept as a foil Reality.

After understanding Lyon's strategy, Mazzari developed a defensive counterattack for the team.

This is definitely not a negative defensive counterattack, but the kind of defensive counterattack in which you have to quickly advance in reinforcements once you have the opportunity to form a partial numerical advantage in a very short time and suppress a certain point in Lyon, so as to achieve them. Overwhelmed and full of loopholes, Naples' offense would be much easier.

So when Naples showed swift momentum in the counterattack, from the Lyon chairman to the Lyon fans were surprised, it was not so surprising.

※※※

The Italian commentator was very excited: "Naples was not intimidated by Lyon's momentum in the away game. They showed their courage!"

However, the Lyon team was surprised and unprepared for the momentum displayed by Naples-they believed too much in the experience, thinking that Naples, who had already made the group early, could not have the same knowledge as them, and slammed dead.

So in the first fifteen minutes of the game, despite the fact that Naples played a defensive counterattack, the ball possession rate was not as high as that of Lyon, but with the number of threatening shots, Naples was far ahead-3:1.

Naples shot a total of three times, all of which are dangerous, but what about Lyon? There was only one shot in total, and this shot was too far off the mark...

Mazzari stood on the sidelines with a calm look on his face, but his heart was very excited-according to this situation, it is not a fantasy for Naples to beat Lyon away!

If we get the first place in the group, we can go further in the Champions League knockouts!

We want to score! Goal as soon as possible! Once ahead, the game will completely enter our track!

Mazzari clenched his fist.

At the twenty-first minute, the first climax of the game finally came.

Naples reacted in the frontcourt and Hamsik moved forward. Cassano dribbled the ball from the center of the wing, and then passed the football to Hamsik. Then he changed his direction and turned to the penalty area.

Just when he and Lyon's back line remained parallel, Hamsik delivered a straight pass. Cassano received the ball behind the defensive line, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Lloris and shot!

With a flick of his ankle, the football made a whistling, bypassing the attacking goalkeeper Loris, and then... fell into the goal!

"The ball-the goal is in!!!" The Naples commentator stood up desperately and shouted, as if they had won the game.

In fact, leading the game and winning the game still have a lot to do...

The Naples fans in front of the TV and on the scene behaved exactly the same, they raised their arms, opened their mouths and cheered loudly to celebrate the wonderful start of the team.

The Gerland Stadium was filled with all kinds of noise, so that Cassano, who rushed to celebrate the goal, did not hear the referee's rushing whistle...

Don't talk about him, even the other Naples players did not hear. Chen Yingxiong was the first to run towards Cassano with open arms, planning to hug him and celebrate, and then more players rushed over.

But Paulo Cannavaro kept waving his hands to beckon everyone back to defense!

The expression on his face is extremely anxious!

Because the referee did not rule that the goal was valid, but instead ruled Cassano for offside!

The Lyon players who reacted quickly took a free kick in the backcourt, but at this time, many of the players from Naples all celebrated in the frontcourt and couldn't return to defense at all!

"Ah... wait... this is! This is Leon's counterattack! What's the matter?" The Naples commentator was also stupid.

"Napoli's goal was declared invalid, they were offside first... Lyon seized this opportunity, they quickly issued a free kick in the backcourt, and the Napoli players are still celebrating the goal in the frontcourt at this time!"

"This is Lyon's opportunity!!!"

The Lyon fans in the stands changed very quickly from the booing to the cheering.

But the Naples fans seemed a little unprepared, they were all stunned on the spot, some of them still kept their hands above their heads in celebration.

The Naples players who found something wrong looked astonished. Many people have started to chase them back, but can they quickly overtake the football in flight?

Lyon came to the goal with three passes, and then Lyon striker Delgado shot an angry kick and the football flew into the goal...

In an instant, the goal from Naples became a goal by Lyon.

This time, no sharp whistle sound came out to spoil the atmosphere. Everyone turned their eyes to the referee, wanting to see how he judged him. I saw the referee point to the middle circle-the goal is effective!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

The Lyon fans screamed and celebrated the goal.

The Naples fans hold their heads in their hands, like being struck by lightning!

The Naples players quit, they rushed to the referee, waved their arms, and yelled: "What's going on! Obviously we scored!"

"I want you to give us a statement! A statement! Our goal is no problem!"

"Offside? Where do I go? You silly..." Cassano was about to swear, he was already pulled out by his teammates. Everyone knows his temper. If he is allowed to scold him for this swear word, I am afraid that at least a yellow card...

"Even if we are offside, should you wait for us to come back before letting Lyon take a free kick?"

"Your sentence is simply wrong!"

"It is absolutely impossible to be offside! We are absolutely impossible to be offside!" Chen Yingxiong roared, almost eating the referee. "There is no problem with this goal! Damn! There is no problem at all! Your penalty is unfounded!"

A group of angry Naples players surrounded the referee and sprayed stars at him.

It is estimated that this buddy will have to wash his face several times before he can clean the saliva on his face...

※※※

Looking at the Napoli players who besieged the referee and the Lyon players celebrating the goal, Aurelio de Laurentiis sitting in the VIP box suddenly thought of the advice of the reporter who knew him before.

Beware of Platini!

ps, the second one is on, ***ah***!
