"Malaga has arrived in Lyon. They have just walked out of the airport lobby. For Lyon, 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 quarterfinals of the Champions League, they must play well in home games. Malaga has no experience in the Champions League knockout rounds. This may be Lyon's advantage!"
on the TV screen.
The Malaga players were walking out of the airport, and there were fans picking them up on both sides of the road. It could be seen that most of them had Chinese faces - most of the fans of the Malaga team in other parts of Europe were probably People from the Dragon Kingdom.
There is no doubt that this is the Malaga No. 10 who appeared in the close-up on the TV screen.
Lyon head coach Remi Garde looked at Yello on the TV and shook his head to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his head.
Arsenal star and French football star Remy is only 45 years old this year, which is still quite young from the perspective of a head coach.
He took office at the beginning of this season.
The replacement is Claude Puel, who had a poor record last season.
As a French giant.
Lyon's record shines in the annals of history. However, Lyon ran into trouble last season.
In the league, Lille won the title and Lyon ranked third behind Marseille.
Lyon lost to Real Madrid in the first knockout round of the Champions League.
Lyon was eliminated by Nice in the Coupe de France.
Lyon were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the League Cup.
Fighting on four fronts, all four fronts were completely defeated.
As head coach, Claude Puel cannot escape the blame.
So after the season, Claude Puel was fired and Remi Garde took over.
Remi Garde is actually a famous player in Lyon, a legendary player in Lyon. He was born in Lyon's youth training and dedicated the prime time of his career to Lyon, but the peak of his career was achieved at Arsenal.
In 1996, he joined Arsenal together with Vieira. In three seasons, Remi Garde won 43 appearances under Wenger.
In the 1997/98 season, Remi Gard helped Arsenal win the Premier League championship.
That year, Arsenal also won the FA Cup, and Remi Garde played an important role.
And now, all the Lyon and Arsenal star has been thinking about these days is: How to contain Yello?
Obviously, he hasn't thought of any good solution yet - after all, although Remy was a very famous player in his playing days, as a coach, his reputation is not very good, and he has not achieved any great achievements. Overall he is a mediocre head coach.
This is actually quite normal.
A good player may not necessarily be a good coach.
A good coach doesn’t need to be a good player either.
Mourinho was just a little-known player during his playing days. If we want to talk about his achievements during his playing days, Remi Gard's achievements are far ahead of Mourinho's.
But when it comes to achievements as a head coach, Remi Garde can't even match Mourinho's success.
Just when Remy picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV.
The TV screen flashed.
The figure of current UEFA president Platini appeared.
This is an exclusive interview with Platini on France Sports Channel.
I don’t know what question the host asked.
But what Platini said made Remy put down the remote control.
".We are investigating the financial issues of some clubs and if they have breached Financial Fair Play, I think we will take action!"
Platini said with that very official smile on his face.
The host looked very interested: "For example? Will these clubs be fined or banned from the European competition??"
"Yes, we will take very strict measures. If these clubs under investigation cannot maintain their financial balance before 2012, then they will be punished!" Platini said.
"For example? Can you tell me which clubs there are?"
"Of course, this is no secret, it is those clubs that have received capital injections from consortiums, such as Malaga Club in La Liga." Platini said.
The host was stunned for a moment.
He moved his body obviously uneasily, as if he did not expect that Platini would mention Malaga,
To know.
There are only two days until the match between Malaga and Lyon begins.
Lyon is currently the only team in Ligue 1 in the Champions League, and Platini is French and is also the president of UEFA.
He mentioned Málaga's name directly in the media.
This seems a little inappropriate.
But Platini smiled slightly, as if he could see the host's embarrassment and uneasiness.
"It's nothing. We are very candid. The investigation of financial issues will not affect the team's performance in the Champions League. Can we still manipulate the game?" Predini leaned forward, as if he had told a story It was such a big joke that I started laughing "hahahahaha".
The presenter of France Sports Channel also laughed.
His restlessness and awkwardness disappeared.
Yes.
Platini is French.
He must do something for the benefit of French football.
Now in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, Lyon is the only team in Ligue 1.
If Ligue 1 is the only team in the top 16, it will be eliminated.
So why is the French Ligue 1 so miserable?
Why is French football so miserable?
If this continues, France's fifth-largest 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 and is a political animal. Every move he makes has a profound meaning.
The host looked at Platini with a smile.
Even Platini is not afraid, what is he afraid of?
So he followed Platini's topic and asked: "But Malaga is very strong this season. They are now No. 1 in La Liga. If they win the Champions League but are punished during the financial investigation, they will not be able to Wouldn’t it be great to participate in the Champions League next season?”
"Of course, of course, it would be inappropriate for the defending Champions League champion 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 strong teams will advance."
"So will you go to Lyon's Parc Olympique to watch this match?"
the host asked.
"Why not? Of course, I'm not going as UEFA president, I'm going to watch the game as an ordinary Frenchman."
Platini smiled.
It's really a distinction between public and private.
Remi Gard turned off the TV and his eyes flashed.
His team seemed to have some hope of advancing.
after all
Lyon is the only team in Ligue 1.
It seems to have very awesome supporters.
"Shameless! So shameless!!"
After this TV show aired.
Many Spanish journalists complained privately.
"Before the war, it was unheard of for the UEFA president to be so partial to one team!"
"Malaga is finished."
"We know what Platini did, haha."
"The semi-finals of the 2008-2009 season, the Stamford Bridge incident." A Madrid reporter sneered.
"Hey, hey, you have to use evidence when you speak!!" a Catalan reporter retorted.
The so-called "Stamford Bridge incident" refers to the 2008-2009 Champions League semi-finals, when Chelsea faced Barcelona at home.
Prior to this, Chelsea drew with Barcelona 0-0 in an away game, which was 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 despite great controversy, and defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the final.
Guardiola won six trophies in his first season as Barcelona's head coach.
This is also the beginning of Guardiola's dream third era.
After the game, the media were questioning the game.
Of course.
The media won't say Barcelona bribes referees.
Barcelona don't have the skills and are unlikely to do anything like this.
That being the case.
The only one who can do anything 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 era of gold and dollar football.
The competitiveness of Premier League teams has begun to rise.
Starting from the 06-07 season.
06-07 season, 07-08 season, 08-09 season.
For three consecutive seasons, there have been at least three English teams among the top four of the Champions League.
And these three teams are the same, all are Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
The only difference is the other team.
The 06-07 season is 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 2007-08 Champions League final also turned into a Premier League civil war.
Manchester United and Chelsea compete for the title.
so.
Platini, who was already unhappy with Jinyuan Football, took action - to prevent the 2008-09 Champions League final from turning into a Premier League civil war, he hacked Chelsea.
The above are all media speculations without any evidence.
It’s just speculation and conspiracy theories, and everyone is just watching for fun.
But Platini was indeed very dissatisfied with the Premier League's excessive pursuit of money more than once.
He thinks it's a disservice to football.
So the Financial Fair Play policy 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 simply a bolt from the blue for many teams acquired with external funds.
And Malaga was caught in the crossfire - even after the advent of the Financial Fair Play Act, they still "committed crimes against the odds", which naturally made Platini look down upon.
Now when Platini talks before the match between Malaga and Lyon, "UEFA is investigating Malaga".
This itself is very abnormal.
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 1.
Secondly, setting up Malaga is also a warning to clubs that accept external funds. For UEFA, small clubs like Malaga are a good target to scare the monkeys, right?
but.
These are just speculations by the media.
As for the evidence?
Who can find the evidence?
Platini is the president of UEFA, but he also has freedom of speech.
Can just talking on TV affect the outcome of the game?
Many French media said so.
In the Dragon Kingdom.
The fans have already begun to curse.
"Platini is so publicly shameless!"
"Godfather! Godfather!"
"What godfather? This is my biological father, much more powerful than my godfather!"
"What about Malaga? Will it really be killed?"
"Not necessarily. To be honest, I'm a little worried now."
The fans were talking a lot and feeling uneasy.
But what is the final result.
We still have to wait until the game to find out.
