Chapter 81: Beware of Platini! (The second shift, asking for a monthly pass)

When Platini appeared on the podium, the political, business, and football celebrities who were already seated stood up to greet and shake Platini's hand. As a French legend and now president of UEFA, Platini is very popular with the French.

Aulas, the president of Lyon, led Platini to the center of the front row of the podium, where he had the best vantage point to watch the game.

At this time, the players of both sides were still warming up, and the boring live TV camera quickly captured Platini's arrival and the "pomp" on the rostrum.

President of Naples de De. Laurentiis also followed the team to the away stadium to cheer the team on, but instead of sitting on the podium, he chose one of the boxes to sit and play against the team's general manager, Bigan.

They also saw Platini appear on the TV screen.

"It's a big scene." Biegun laughed, and there was no respect for the UEFA ruler in his tone.

"This is someone's home field." Morality. Laurentiis shook her head, took her eyes off the TV screen, and returned to the warm-up players on the pitch.

In fact, there should be no pressure on Napoli in this game, because they have already appeared in advance, and Lyon is also more optimistic, thinking that this game will definitely be friendship first, competition second. Napoli, who had already qualified in advance, sold a favor to Lyon, and the two teams joined hands to qualify, which was a great joy.

Kede. Laurentiis doesn't think so. Losing to Lyon, will their team finish second in the group, and then beat a giant like Barcelona in the quarter-finals?

Why should Napoli sacrifice themselves to fulfill others and ensure that Lyon finish first in the group, while they face those super difficult opponents themselves.

So he was quite in favor of Mazzal's goal of "winning the group". We Napolis have never been good people who sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of others!

He thought of something. Before the match, he received a call from a well-connected reporter reminding him to pay attention to Platini. He didn't understand why he should be careful of Platini. Could it be because he publicly declared his support for Leon and came to the scene to cheer him up? So what's there to be afraid of? Lyon's players can't be like they beat Platini because of his support, and Platini doesn't have that much influence...... If Maradona had come to watch the Napoli game, the whole Napoli team would have a greater chance of becoming a superman.

Platini is not a legend of Lyon, so how can his influence on Lyon be compared to Maradona's influence on Naples?

So be careful what he's doing? Could it be that he can still play for Lyon himself?

Hahaha!

As soon as I thought of this, De. Laurentiis would just be able to laugh – it's ridiculous!

※※※

Platini sat in his seat and exchanged pleasantries with the people around him.

Olas seemed very happy to be able to have a big man like Platini come to watch the game live, and publicly express his support for Lyon, which is an honor for Lyon, and it is definitely a morale boost for Lyon. He thinks Lyon can already win this game......

No matter how dark Napoli is, can it still be dark at our home stadium in Lyon?

When the time comes, we will have a strong home advantage, and the boos of the home fans alone will be enough to keep your legs straight!

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

He stared at the pitch with a deep look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Maybe it's thinking about the development of European football......

But in reality, Platini was thinking ...... There's nothing wrong with this game, right?

※※※

Aulas thought Napoli would be terrible on the road, but it turned out to be completely different from what he had thought ().

Napoli didn't know what they had eaten, and they saved their strength from the beginning of the game, without any stage fright, and played a set of tactics that Ang hated the most in the away game.

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

Mazzari knows that Lyon are eager to win the game, they have the advantage of being at home, and Lyon will certainly not choose to retreat, so they will press out and attack, hoping to use a fierce attack and an early goal to silence Napoli and accept the reality as a foil.

After understanding Lyon's strategy, Mazzal's tactics for the team were defensive counter-attacks.

This is definitely not a passive defensive counterattack, but the kind of defensive counterattack that will quickly advance to reinforce the attack as soon as there is an opportunity, forming a local numerical advantage in a very short period of time, suppressing a certain point of Lyon, so as to make them take care of themselves and full of holes, so that Napoli's attack will be much easier to fight.

So it was no surprise that when Napoli showed a swift momentum on the counter-attack, it was a surprise to the Lyon president and the Lyon fans.

※※※

The Italian commentator was excited: "Napoli were not intimidated by Lyon's momentum away from home, they showed their mettle! ”

Instead, Lyon were surprised and unprepared for the momentum shown by Napoli – they believed too much in experience and thought that Napoli, who had already qualified from the group, would not be able to share their knowledge and stumble.

So fifteen minutes into the game, don't look at Napoli's defensive counterattack, and the possession rate is not as high as Lyon, but there are threatening shots, and Napoli is far ahead - 3:1.

Napoli had a total of three shots on goal, and all three of them were dangerous shots, but what about Lyon? There was only one shot on goal in total, and this shot was ridiculously off......

Mazzari stood on the sidelines, calm and excited, but very excited - with this situation going on, Napoli's away win over Lyon was not a fantasy ()!

By topping the group, we can go a little further in the knockout stages of the Champions League!

We're going to score! Score goals as soon as possible! Once ahead, the race will be fully on our tracks!

Mazari clenched his fist.

o In the twenty-first minute, the first high cháo of the game finally came.

Napoli reacted up front, Hamshik moved forward, Cassano dribbled the ball from the middle of the wing, and then passed the ball to Hamsik, who then changed his direction and turned and cut into the box.

Just as he was parallel to Lyon's back line, Hamshik delivered a through ball. Cassano receives the ball behind the backline and shoots at goalkeeper Lloris with his feet!

With a flick of his ankle, the ball whistled out to bypass goalkeeper Lloris before ...... Crash into the goal!

"Ball - Ball in!!" The Napoli commentators stood up desperately and chanted as if they had won the game.

In fact, there is a lot to do with taking the lead at the beginning and winning the game......

The Napoli fans in front of the TV were exactly the same as they were in attendance, cheering loudly with their arms raised and their mouths open to celebrate the team's wonderful start.

The Stadium was filled with all kinds of noise, so much so that Cassano, who was running wildly to celebrate the goal, did not hear the referee's quick whistle......

Not to mention him, even the other Napoli players didn't hear it, Chen Yingying was the first to run to Cassano with open arms, intending to hug him and celebrate, and then more players rushed over ().

But Paul. Cannavaro kept waving his hand to signal everyone to return to defense!

The expression on his face was so anxious!

Because the referee did not award the goal as valid, but ruled Cassano offside!

The Lyon players who reacted quickly took a free kick at the back, but at this time, many Napoli players were all celebrating the goal in the front court, and they couldn't defend at all!

"Ah...... Wait a minute...... This is! This is Lyon's counterattack! What's going on? "The Neapolitan commentators are also stupid.

'Napoli's goal was disallowed and they were offside...... Lyon seized the opportunity and quickly sent in a free-kick at the back, while the Napoli players were still celebrating their goals in front! ”

"It's an opportunity for Lyon!!"

The Lyon fans in the stands changed very quickly from the boos just now to the cheers now.

But the Napoli fans were a little unprepared, they were all stunned, and some of them still kept their hands above their heads in celebration.

The Napoli players were stunned when they found something wrong, and many of them had already begun to chase back, but could they be faster than the flying football?

Lyon came to goal with three passes and two downs, and then Lyon striker Delgado fired a shot and the ball flew into the back of the net......

In the blink of an eye, it went from a Napoli goal to a Lyon goal.

This time, there was no shrill whistle that ruined the atmosphere, and all eyes were on the referee to see how he would decide. I saw the referee pointing to the middle circle - the goal is valid ()!

"Oooo

Lyon's fans let out a long howl in celebration of the goal.

And the Napoli fans held their heads in their hands, as if they had been struck by lightning!

The Napoli players stopped doing it, they rushed to the referee, waved their arms and shouted: "What's going on! Obviously we scored! ”

"I want you to give us an explanation! One way to say! We had no problem scoring goals! ”

"Offside? Which position do I cross? You stupid ......" Cassano was about to curse when he was pulled out by his teammates. Everyone knows his temper, and if he is allowed to swear this swearing, he is afraid of at least one yellow card......

'Even if we're offside, should you wait until we come back and let Lyon take a free-kick?'

"Your penalty is simply not right!"

"Absolutely impossible to be offside! There is absolutely no way we are offside! Chen Yingying roared, almost eating the referee. There was no problem with this goal at all!! Damn it! No problem at all! Your decision is unfounded! ”

A group of angry Napoli players surrounded the referee and sprayed him with smear stars.

It is estimated that this guy will have to wash his face several times when he goes back to be able to wash the saliva off his face......

Looking at the Napoli players besieging the referee, as well as the Lyon players celebrating the goal, Aurelio sitting in the VIP box. Morality. Lawrentiis suddenly remembered the advice that the reporter she knew had given him earlier.

Watch out for Platini!
