Platini used to hate Chelsea and Mourinho, but now this hate is concentrated on Lin Yu, so he even pinned his hopes of defeating Real Madrid on Chelsea at the same time, which has to be said to be a very interesting thing, and it also shows his helplessness and extreme dislike for Lin Yu.

But hate to hate, Platini now feels that he has nothing to do with Lin Yu, the more this guy pushes, the better he performs, the more you target him, the more energetic he is, he doesn't dare to easily try to let Chelsea and Bayern Munich, who are the most likely to beat Real Madrid, meet Real Madrid, so he should arrange other teams to advance to the quarterfinals to weaken Real Madrid's spirit.

And he didn't believe that Lin Yu could score more than 20 goals this season, did he really think it was so easy to score in the Champions League? Last season drove you crazy, but I don't believe you can go crazy every season.

Even Platini feels that Lin Yu's personal grievances with himself can actually be put aside, because Lin Yu's influence in the Champions League is now impossible to compare even with Messi, this person exists, and the ratings of the Champions League will increase a lot, and at the same time, things like advertising, sponsorship, etc. will also get more, UEFA has money, then it can increase the Champions League bonus and attract the team to work harder to perform.

In fact, personal grievances aside, even Lin Yu thinks that Platini is quite good in terms of capital operation and Champions League hype, so it's no wonder that this old thing can be re-elected.

If Platini wants to become the greatest UEFA president in history, and if UEFA wants to compete with FIFA, then he will have to increase the influence of the Champions League. And Lin Yu is a must-have calling figure, and there is absolutely no shortage of them.

It's like using the referee to knock Real Madrid out of the tournament in the past. He won't do it again, at that time, Lin Yu's influence and appeal were not as great as they are now. He can still move, and now, he really can't do it easily, and if he annoys the rest of UEFA's powers, his newly re-elected UEFA president could be ousted in disgrace.

He's not that stupid!

……

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the draw will be held, and this time the draw will be the teams facing each other in the quarter-finals.

Among the top eight teams are Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League, while Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are three teams in La Liga. In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are two teams, and in Ligue 1, only Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the quarterfinals, which is considered a unique seedling.

In this year's quarterfinals, there is no so-called dark horse, and they are basically traditional heroes.

When the draw ceremony was announced before the game, Zidane laughed and said that the team he didn't want to meet was Paris Saint-Germain, not because the opponent was too strong, but because he was French, and he didn't think that the only seedling in the first division would be over.

Ask him who the team he would most like to meet is. He just laughed and said: "Our players are very enthusiastic, they all want to meet Bayern Munich. ”

The matchup between the two most attacking teams in football today is also a fun thing, but it's a pity. After the draw, Real Madrid's opponent turned out to be Liverpool in the Premier League, and it seems that Platini's resentment of the Premier League has always existed. This is clearly to destroy Liverpool through the hands of Real Madrid.

It is now widely believed that Real Madrid are far better than Liverpool, despite having a super-striker like Suarez. But compared to Lin Yu, that's still not good. What's more, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is already old, and his strength is far less than before, compared with Real Madrid, it is really a rhythm of losing more and winning less.

Bayern Munich, which ranks second on the odds list, drew Atletico Madrid, which is also a better draw;

Chelsea, which is tied for second place with Bayern Munich in the odds list, drew Dortmund, I don't know if it is because Dortmund has repeatedly caused trouble for Mourinho, and Platini wants to use this team to kill Chelsea. After Klopp left Dortmund, there were predictions that Dortmund would decline from now on, which partly came true, but the other part did not come true, because Dortmund invited Ancelotti, the head coach who had coached Real Madrid, so although the league results cannot be compared with Bayern Munich, but the results of the Champions League are still very good, and this time to enter the quarterfinals is very telling.

The last group of matches is Barcelona smashing Paris Saint-Germain, there is nothing to say, Paris Saint-Germain coached by Ancelotti almost eliminated Barcelona, but unfortunately the chess was worse later, but now the strength of Paris is better than before, Ibrahimovic, known as Lu Bu, is really getting older and more demonic, and he is almost forty years old, but the performance has not only not declined, but is getting better and better, and it has to be convincing.

Let's not talk about other games, let's talk about Real Madrid and Liverpool, in terms of strength, Real Madrid must be stronger, but Rodgers's team has repeatedly killed strong teams, and more importantly, the terrifying Anfield Stadium in the past has now regained that domineering, and Real Madrid is not necessarily an easy thing to get out of there.

What's more, many Real Madrid fans know that there has been a tragedy caused by fan violence in Liverpool's history!

In 1985, Liverpool reached the final of the European Champions Cup again. The match was played at the Heysel Stadium against Juventus.

Before the start of the match, the tragedy occurred in Heysel: Liverpool fans broke the fence used to separate fans from both sides and provoked Juventus fans. The weight generated by the clashes eventually led to the collapse of the walls, killing 39 fans, most of them Italians.

In the rest of the game, both players had no intention of fighting, and in the end Liverpool lost 0-1 to Juventus. As a result, England's team was banned from European competitions for five years, Liverpool was banned for 10 years, which was later changed to six years, and 14 Liverpool fans were charged with manslaughter.

Although Lin Yu had not yet been born when this tragedy broke out, he knew about it. The rest of Real Madrid's players also knew.

Although a long time has passed, Liverpool has also been severely punished. But who can be sure that Liverpool will not have another Heysel tragedy today?

So this thing is actually compared to the game against Liverpool. The pressure on the Real Madrid players is a little bit higher.

It is not even ruled out that Liverpool fans deliberately used this to put pressure on Real Madrid, especially in the shadow of Lin Yu's stabbing injury not long ago, which is even more disturbing.

Shankly once said, "Football is not about life and death, football is higher than life and death!" "But not many footballers are willing to risk their lives to play.

This is also the reason why once you encounter a death threat, even if you are reluctant, your performance will definitely be greatly reduced.

Everyone is making money to support their families, not soldiers, nor heroes. There's no need to joke with your own life.

Even after Lin Yu was stabbed at the beginning, many Real Madrid players had this idea: "When playing away football in the future, it is better not to offend the opponent, especially in the face of necessary savage fans!" ”

Of course, it can't be said that Liverpool's fans are barbaric because of historical issues, but after all, Liverpool has returned to the Champions League family not long ago, and I believe that Liverpool fans will hold their inner desires in their stomachs, in case Real Madrid plays too big a score at Anfield. The irrational factor in their hearts is likely to explode like a bomb, and it is possible that it will be out of control at that time.

If you take these things into account, in fact, Real Madrid may not be able to eliminate Liverpool easily, not to mention that Liverpool team now has an iron spirit that will not stop until the goal is achieved. They will not easily admit defeat to Real Madrid, especially when it comes to qualifying for the knockout rounds, and they will not give up easily.

All in all. I believe that Real Madrid eliminated Liverpool more, but not all. When thinking of Liverpool's home stadium, there are still many people who think that Real Madrid may fall behind.

Those who support Real Madrid feel it. In fact, in the group stage this season, the two teams have encountered, Real Madrid easily beat Liverpool, so the knockout round should be easy to win, even if it is an away loss or a draw, the home team should be able to get back to the field.

But those who hate Lin Yu or Real Madrid have said that there is no comparison between the group stage and the knockout stage, and there is only one way to go in the knockout round, either to be eliminated or to advance, so Liverpool will definitely show a higher morale than the group stage to deal with Real Madrid.

And these people also pointed out that Lin Yu's temperament is irritable, he is a person who is very easy to get angry, in case he encounters a fan at Anfield Stadium who hits him with something, he will definitely do irrational things, and the possibility of being sent off by the referee with a red card is there, once Real Madrid loses Lin Yu, it is like a fighter jet losing its most advanced engine, and it can't fly if you want to.

The more they think about it, the more they feel that this possibility is very high, and when Lin Yu is sent off with a red card, or even suspended for consecutive games, in this way, Lin Yu's so-called goal of scoring more than 20 goals this season will not be achieved, and Real Madrid's goal of trying to win the Champions League will become more difficult, which is simply what they want to see the most.

……

At this juncture, there is nothing to fear for Real Madrid and Zidane, even if it is really as some people say, how terrible and terrifying Liverpool's home stadium is, in fact, it doesn't matter.

Zidane has already set a goal, first in the Champions League, second in the league, third in the Copa del Rey, if it really doesn't work, he can even take the initiative to give up the Copa del Rey, as long as he wins the Champions League and the league, it is a victory, although it may not be as brilliant as Lippi's results last season, but for a coach who has just joined the coaching world, such a record is already very good.

At the beginning of the season, his only goal was to win the league championship, and he basically didn't think about the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, he recalled that the reason why he had such a big change, in addition to his growing confidence now, in fact, the most important reason was the influence of Lin Yu, that kid, not only can affect his teammates, but even he as a head coach has been affected.

Not only that, but even the minds of the club's top management have changed, and that guy is really a different person.

It is precisely because the Champions League championship is now put in the first place, so after Zidane got the draw results, he couldn't wait to start a detailed analysis of Liverpool, an old powerhouse, this Premier League team with a glorious history in the past was only no less influential than Real Madrid, but then fell into a trough, and some people even said that the "Red Army" has been completely finished, and there can be no more revival.

Especially after Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League have big money moving in and investing a lot of money to buy players, people have little hope for Liverpool's future.

Even when choosing a manager, he didn't dare to choose a famous coach, and he could only choose Rodgers, who had been Mourinho's assistant coach.

However, it was this humble coach who brought Liverpool back to life. (To be continued......)
