The next day, there were several Italian media outlets that questioned the match. They felt that the referee had a serious problem in this game.

In particular, a couple of key controversial decisions in the first half were problematic.

“…… Swede's decision could be a 'collection of all the mistakes a referee can make', and it can be used as a negative lesson for new referees. The offside decision was unwarranted, Chen Yingxing's first header should have been valid, and Chris's handball before half-time was unquestionable...... But Svensson made mistakes! ”

"It's not difficult for a referee to make a mistake once in a game, but it's hard to make a mistake every time......"

Svensson is UEFA's key referee and, if nothing else, will be on the squad for next year's World Cup...... He was one of several young referees that Platini has supported since he came to power...... But there were so many low-level mistakes in this game, I don't know if it will affect his qualification for the World Cup......

'After the game, both managers refused to talk about the referee, obviously they knew it was a sensitive issue and couldn't just talk about it. Just because you don't say it doesn't mean there aren't problems. After the game, we analysed that Svensson's decision had a lot of doubts, and it was rare for him to be so clearly biased......"

“…… Readers, I suddenly want to revisit to you a piece of history, a history that is not too far away. On 6 May 2009, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Chelsea hosted Barcelona and the referee for that match was Norwegian Henin ......"

"I'm not saying how Platini is, I'm just stating one fact, and that's ...... The referee was overwhelmingly favoured the home team Lyon, far beyond the normal 'home advantage', while Platini declared himself to support Lyon as a national before the game, and he was there to watch the game that was neither a focus nor a strong conversation. Yes, I'm just stating the fact that ......"

"Since Platini came to power, some of the things UEFA has done have caused quite a bit of controversy, can we make some associations? No, we can't, because we lack evidence (). Even in such a game where a discerning person can see that there is a problem, we still lack evidence......"

……

On the surface, the media seems to be saying that this matter has nothing to do with Platini, but as long as the IQ is normal, it can be seen that the media is ironic.

The classic passage that Chen Yingying said in his post-match interview was also in newspapers and television.

"The hero said that his celebration was a tribute to Platini, so let's pay tribute to Platini in the same way!"

"It's ironic, I don't think even Platini himself thinks that Chen Yingying is really thanking him, right? Unless he's got a problem with his brain......"

“…… All of our Napoli players dedicate this victory to our beloved Platini and I am sure he will be very happy! …… Because it was his presence and pre-match expressions that inspired us to hold our back and win the game despite the great injustice......"

The host of an Italian TV station had a wicked smile on his face when he cut back after broadcasting the footage of Chen Yingying's interview.

"Yes, we are also very grateful to Mr. Platini. Because he showed us a really good game! If not, this game would be just an ordinary group stage. It is because of him that this game has become a match that will still have a place in the history of the Champions League for many years to come, a real classic! A textbook game that shows us how to win even when the entire referee team is against you! Thank you, Mr. Platini! ”

And the British media, which has always liked to join in the fun, will naturally not let go of this good opportunity. Because Platini has always been very disagreeable to Premier League teams, he racked his brains after he came to power, and everything he came up with was aimed at Premier League teams. The two sides have been grudging for a long time, how could the British media let go of this great opportunity to attack Platini in a big way?

So the "Tai Yang Bao" first attacked, thinking that Platini was the mastermind behind this game, and his statement before the game was too suspicious ().

The Telegraph took a closer look at Platini's performance in the stands. Especially after a few key decisions and goals, his expression changed, from which he drew a conclusion - "...... Platini had a relaxed smile on his face when Lyon benefited, and when Napoli scored, his face immediately turned cold...... What does this mean? I don't think I need to be too clear, right? ”

"UEFA should look into this game thoroughly, and in particular focus on whether there was any private deal between their home team, Mr. Platini, and referee Svensson......"

The words of the British media are simply audacious, unscrupulous, and directly frightening to death in the eyes of the media of other countries.

But that's their style, and they even dared to expose the scandal of the England manager before an important match like the World Cup, which caused England to lose their hearts and eventually defeat Germany. As for criticising the English FA, they have done more, even to the point where the English FA is not allowed to broadcast the England national team's matches live on television......

So they're not afraid of any strong power at all, what about UEFA? Such a powerful opponent in command aroused their greater desire and interest in survival.

※※※

In the face of the frenzied hype and criticism of the media, UEFA's official statement is very "official":

"There's no evidence that this game is shady again."

Just one sentence answered all the media's questions.

Platini himself said: "There are some problems with Svensson's decision, but as a young referee, such mistakes are inevitable. As for the accusations against myself...... I personally welcome supervision of me, I don't have any problems, I don't know Svensson and I (). And I have to say again, the referee's question has nothing to do with my pre-match statement, even if I do it again, I will insist on supporting Lyon as a countryman because they need support at that time. I respect UEFA's decision and there is no evidence that there is anything wrong with this match, so there is no need to start an investigation process, the debate about this game should end there. I don't want the media to get too involved and hype up and affect Svensson's private life. We have to think about the lessons of the past, and the same Swedish referee Anders. Friesk ...... I warn the media not to exaggerate this matter, not to conspire, UEFA has very severe penalties for those unfounded accusations against referees! ”

He is referring to the Swedish referee's allusion to the 2004-2005 Champions League quarter-finals, when Barcelona hosted Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, in which Friske sent off Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, which became the turning point of the game, and Barcelona beat Chelsea 2-1 at home. Mourinho blamed the referee for the defeat after the game, claiming to have seen Barcelona officials enter the referee's lounge at half-time, which could indicate that Barcelona were in collusion with the referee.

As a result, Mourinho's remarks caused an uproar and pushed Friske to the forefront. After the game, there was a steady stream of media going to Friske's home to besiege him, and he claimed to have received death threat emails from some of the Chelsea fanatics.

All this bothered him and finally decided to retire early.

Since Friesk is a well-known international referee in Sweden, his retirement has caused a lot of repercussions.

A number of referees were shocked by his retirement, lashing out at Mourinho's groundless accusations. UEFA is also considering setting up some harsh penalties for attacking referees, and attacking and questioning referees will be strictly prohibited.

So later, many people didn't dare to discuss and question the referee casually.

Platini is turning over old accounts at this time and bringing this incident out to remind everyone - don't blindly blame and criticize Svensson for the sake of news effect, be careful that he repeats the mistakes of his compatriot Frisker and chooses to retire early. You must know that it is not easy for UEFA to train a good referee now......

At the same time, he is also knocking on the side, telling those who are plotting against the wrong people - now it is not the past, you can blame the referee casually, even if it is a big grievance, it is not allowed to criticize the referee in private (). If you have a problem, go to UEFA, if UEFA says it's okay, it's really no problem! You are not allowed to discuss it in private!

In the face of such a scoundrel response, everyone feels unwilling, but you don't have a problem yet.

Because they really lack evidence......

In his post-match report, Svensson admitted he had made some mistakes.

This is tantamount to taking all the responsibility on himself, and he can't question Platini at all. At best, it was a poor game for the young referee due to his lack of experience.

And since Napoli won the game after all, and Lyon also won the right to qualify from the group, both clubs have a calm attitude. If both sides don't cooperate, the media won't be able to stir up hype even if they want to.

There has been less discussion and reporting on this matter.

Everything seems to be calming down.

But is that really the case?

No one knows how ugly the UEFA ruler looked when he saw Chen Yingying say that he would dedicate his goals and game victory to Platini......

Being slapped in the face and being ridiculed so much by the other party, do you think Platini can swallow this breath?

No way!

So, it's definitely not over!

The draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League and UEFA Cup is just a few days away, and then ...... Hum!
