"What does Platini mean? Financial Fair Play? The financial review will not be completed until the end of this year. What does it have to do with this year's Champions League?"
"Don't you understand? Lyon is the only French Ligue 1 team in this year's Champions League knockout round. We, Málaga, are not a big club. They need to carry forward their patriotic spirit."
"Isn't it because we are a small club and easy to bully? If Lyon's opponent is Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern, he dares to do it so openly?"
"As you said, Lyon can't draw them. Maybe in Mr. Platini's heart, Lyon is not strong enough, and it's not a traditional giant. The opponent is us."
"Yes, Benfica seems to be weaker than us on paper, but they are also a wealthy club with many famous players."
On the training ground.
Players complained one after another.
Pellegrini stood on the sidelines with a frown.
Of course he was worried about possible problems in this game.
The referee has a huge impact on a game
He doesn't even need to call a match-fixing call, he just needs to have a slightly different approach to the two teams in terms of scale, and he can even call a balance ball to let the fans of both sides have something to say.
It can affect the trend of a game.
Of course.
This can only be done when the strengths of both parties are relatively close.
otherwise.
If you ask the Dragon Country national team and the Spanish national team to play a formal match (not a friendly match) with the intensity of the World Cup, or you let the referee team join the Dragon Country national team to play together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass.
Pellegrini sighed.
He knew there was no point in worrying.
Malaga is not a big club, and he has no connections in UEFA. He is also a foreigner from South America. Although he has been the head coach of Real Madrid, he basically took the blame for going to Real Madrid.
Florentino just cleaned up some veteran white gloves.
So he was quickly fired under the double attack of Real Madrid fans and celebrities.
Therefore, it is impossible to rely on Real Madrid's relationship.
So, this game
He could only prepare at a normal pace.
As for the result
I can only leave it to fate.
Yelo certainly heard what the players were talking about.
However, he has not expressed his opinion.
When the training is over, everyone is on the bus back to the hotel.
Isco asked Yello: "What do you think of Platini's remarks?"
Ye Luo shrugged: "I don't have any opinion. Look, our UEFA president is so eager to stand up for Lyon with a shameless face. Tell me, if we eliminate Lyon, will we slap him hard in the face?" ah?"
"That's for sure!"
Bonotna yelled from behind.
"I am the president of UEFA. I don't want to lose face?"
"Just right." Ye Luo smiled slightly and made a slapping gesture with his hands, "What I am best at is slapping."
Hearing Yello's words, Pellegrini, who was sitting in the front, showed a smile. He remembered the first time he watched Yello play football. He was sitting in the stands and saw Yello snap with his own eyes. He slapped his face toward the stands. At that time, he didn't know what was going on. Later, he found out that it was the general manager of the Longguo Football Association who was sitting in the stands.
This kid is from the Dragon Country and is not afraid of the general manager of the Dragon Country Football Association.
He has nothing to fear when facing the president of UEFA.
Hearing Ye Luo's words, the players also laughed.
"Yes! I'm not afraid of him. We want to eliminate Lyon and slap Platini in the mouth!" Isco shouted.
"Hey, hey, everyone was so scared that they wet their pants just now."
"Who peed their pants? You can't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air!"
Isco said loudly with his eyes widened.
The players on the bus laughed.
There is joy in the air.
Ye Luo also smiled.
He looked out the window.
I don’t know why, but the stronger the enemy, the more excited he gets.
enemy.
Maybe not just opponents on the court.
And off the field.
Those big shots who try to use various means to achieve their own goals.
"I'm just a player."
"So, I will use my own way to warn everyone!"
"Although, come on horseback!"
Game day.
One hour before the game.
The Lyon Olympique Stadium was already packed.
More than 60,000 Lyon fans poured into the stadium, creating a crazy home atmosphere.
Just when players from both sides entered the court to warm up.
The fans at the scene suddenly burst into cheers.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the big screen at the scene. The big screen was connected to the live broadcast signal of the broadcast agency. The purpose was to facilitate the fans in the stands far away from the stadium to watch the replays of some exciting moments.
And now.
On the big screen.
UEFA President Platini walked to the rostrum accompanied by Lyon Club President Aulas and General Manager Clark.
Celebrities from all walks of life who were already sitting in their seats stood up one after another to greet Platini and shake hands.
As a legendary star of French football, he is now the president of UEFA.
Platini is naturally very famous in the upper class circles of France.
The fans in the audience also burst into cheers for Platini.
On the sidelines.
Assistant coach Maroska, who was watching the players warming up, looked towards the stands and couldn't help but become more worried.
"We are just a small club, do we deserve to use such methods?"
Malosca smiled helplessly.
The warm-up of Malaga's players was also affected, and the players frequently looked at the stands.
Platini is so high-profile.
It makes many players feel worried.
"You are so high-profile, do you have any confidence?"
Some players muttered under their breath.
"Damn it, I don't believe Platini can clear himself from the field!"
Isco said angrily.
"Don't even look at it, warm up seriously!"
Ye Luo looked at the excitement on the stage and said loudly.
"Wait a minute, let's stop him from laughing!"
When the players heard this, they immediately became excited.
Players from both sides finished warming up and returned to the locker room.
Pellegrini had been waiting in the locker room for a long time. After seeing the players enter the locker room and change their playing equipment, he said: "This game may encounter a little difficulty, but I hope everyone will have a good time." If we have to control our emotions, the scale may be against us.”
"Isn't it just a matter of scale? Don't worry, coach."
"Yes! We are not children."
"I'm very calm."
"If you get in there a few of them early, no matter what their standards are, they won't be able to turn the tables!"
The players said with confidence.
Seeing that the players were so confident, Pellegrini felt a little relieved.
When the Malaga players walked out of the locker room and came to the players' tunnel.
Lyon's players have come out first.
Ye Luo looked at Leon's queue and saw a few familiar faces.
For example, goalkeeper Lloris, the future double captain of the French national team and Tottenham, and French forward Lacazette - now the teenager Lacazette.
Ye Luo looked at the referee team again.
The referee for this game was a young referee.
Machniak, who comes from Poland, later became quite famous, but now he can only be considered a fledgling player. He has been officiating in the Polish domestic league before obtaining international referee qualifications.
He officiated two group matches last season, which was his first time coaching a UEFA competition.
This season, we often play Champions League and Europa League matches.
Although he is not arranged to appear in some focus battles.
But he can be regarded as a young referee that UEFA focuses on cultivating.
Platini sat in his seat and chatted with the people around him.
Of course Olas was very happy.
Being able to allow a big shot like Platini to publicly support Lyon.
If Lyon wins this game, there will basically be no problem.
Malaga was eliminated because they lacked influential stars - you mean Yello? He is a newcomer who has played in Europe for less than one season.
For example, Chelsea has a team with long-established stars such as Lampard, Drogba, Cech, and John Terry.
There's nothing we can do about it.
What kind of waves can Malaga make?
And this is Lyon’s home ground.
After all, Lyon is also the top club in Ligue 1, and beating Malaga at their home court is not an upset, it is a normal result.
Platini was also smiling.
He seemed to have this expression forever.
Under this mask.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Maybe he is dedicating himself to European football and dying.
Lyon's head coach Remi Garde believes that Lyon, playing at home in this game, will quickly take advantage.
The off-field news will have a huge impact on Malaga.
Although he was not sure about the referee's standards for this game, he was certain that they would have home field advantage.
Therefore, before the game, he asked his players to press out as quickly as possible, attack, attack wildly, and score goals.
But after the game started.
The Malaga players didn’t know what kind of medicine they had taken.
He was running very aggressively, his spirit was very high, and he seemed to be in a very good state.
They played against the visitors at the Parc Olympique in Lyon and played against Lyon.
Such a situation.
The fans in the stands, the big shots on the rostrum, and even Platini were a little surprised.
Platini certainly knows his way around the ball.
Of course he could see that his actions before the game seemed to be somewhat self-defeating.
He originally thought that using the review of the Financial Fair Play Act as an excuse would cause emotional turmoil among Malaga players and cause them to perform abnormally in this game.
Now it seems
It actually aroused the opponent's fighting spirit.
matter
It seems a bit difficult to handle.
Platini tapped his fingers lightly on the deputy arm of the rostrum chair.
A UEFA official behind him frowned when he saw this. This was Platini's subconscious action when he felt in trouble.
He hurriedly approached.
Platini shook his head slightly.
He looked toward the field.
I plan to observe it for a while.
