Chapter 186: Dead!
On the day of Zuihou in April, Chelsea had the 36th round of the league and played away to Bolton Wanderers, winning 3-0 with little to no waves.
Instead, May will be the final month for the whole of European football.
The league and cup competitions are coming to an end, and the Champions League final will be played on May 25 at the Istanbul Ataturk Stadium in Turkey.
AC Milan's 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in the first leg made it almost impossible to qualify for the Champions League final, with all the focus across Europe on the Juventus vs Chelsea match.
Not only are there many conflicts on the field, but there are also constant conflicts off the field, especially the war of words between Chelsea coach Giowan Xian and UEFA president Michel Platini is the most eye-catching.
Platini, who has been humiliated by Joovan repeatedly, remains unchanged, saying: "As a former Juventus player and as a UEFA official, I think Juventus' win over Chelsea is more significant. The development of football must be balanced, and Chelsea's full victory is against the law of football development, and it is necessary to resolutely prevent it. ”
In fact, Platini now holds the rank of UEFA executive official, the equivalent of vice-president, and enjoys the support of FIFA Blatter and is very popular in "political circles". If he wants to participate in the next UEFA presidency race, it is necessary to increase his statement and influence, and it is clear that he has set his sights on Qiao Wanxian.
In contrast to the low-key nature of current UEFA president Johansson, Platini's behavior is unusually high-profile, and even the French media have ridiculed Platini as a staunch "anti-Joe" activist.
In return, at 4 p.m. on May 3, Qiao Wan held a press conference at the hotel where he was staying.
The appeal of Joe's cannon is undoubtedly huge.
In just one hour, more than 100 journalists from all over Europe rushed to the hotel near the Alp Stadium, waiting for Qiao Wanxian to appear.
The hotel originally only prepared a conference room that could accommodate more than 80 people, and when it saw such a crazy scene, it had to be replaced with a super-large conference room in a daze.
When Qiao Wan walked onto the rostrum, the reporters released a blinding silver thunderbolt from the flashing lights, and countless microphones, voice recorders, and mobile phones piled up on the chairman's desk.
In the past few days, Platini has poured a few scoops of cold water on him when he has nothing to do, but Qiao Wanxian seems to have put all his focus on promoting his "Wanxian Foundation" and ignored it.
But everyone knows Qiao Wanxian, he is definitely not the kind of character who can swallow his anger! Therefore, the content of this press conference has a fatal attraction for journalists, and perhaps a sentence from Qiao Dacang recorded in the first time is enough for them to become well-known journalists in Europe in an instant.
Qiao Wanxian was very satisfied to find that among the people who came to attend the press conference, in addition to Italian reporters, there were many reporters from other countries.
Seeing the crowd in the audience, Qiao Wan cleared his throat and made a gesture of pressing down.
He came up and fired directly: "To be honest, I didn't know Platini before, he was rude, his words and deeds were unbearable, and he had no gentlemanly demeanor. ”
"I think everyone understands my purpose for holding this press conference, well, to put it bluntly, it is a declaration of war!"
"I don't understand how there is such a slanderous person in UEFA, I heard that he has some contradictions with Chairman Johansson? Maybe, but what I care about is the attitude of the Juventus authorities. ”
"That's right, it's Juve's attitude. After all, Platini was a Juventus player back then, and the club needs to be responsible for the words and deeds of its players. I hope that Juventus will express their gratitude to Chelsea and all Blues fans and, of course, myself, about Platini's speech. ”
"If not daoqian? Hehe, I think Moji will. Of course, if he's really unconscious, I don't mind teaching them a lesson. ”
"What lesson? It's simple, bloodbath Alp! ”
……
……
The Alp Stadium is not a dedicated football pitch, with a red runway between the pitch and the stands, and the atmosphere is a far cry from Stamford Bridge. Moreover, Turin has a small population and few fans, and even for a Serie A giant like Juventus, the stadium attendance is barely more than half.
Therefore, Juventus officials have reached an agreement with the city of Turin to renovate the Alp Stadium, eliminate the running track, reduce the seats, and provide a one-stop entertainment service, so as to make it a top-class stadium similar to Old Trafford. The current Alp Stadium looks a bit pitiful.
At 4 p.m. on the same day, the second Juventus vs Chelsea match in the semifinals of the 04-05 UEFA Champions League will kick off at the Alp Stadium in Turin, Italy.
Both players were already in their respective halves and visitors Chelsea were given the kick-off, with blue shirts Owen and Wayne Rooney in the middle of the pitch waiting for a whistle from German referee Chrisra for the game to begin.
Until the moment before the game, Juventus officials did not express their daoqian about Platini's bombardment of Jowanxian, and the club's general manager Moggie even asserted: "Platini is a great player, he will always be a member of Juventus, there is nothing wrong with his remarks, Joe Cannon is humiliating Juventus Club!" ”
There is no doubt that Moji's words add fuel to the fire!
Of course, this is what all journalists across Europe are looking forward to.
Before the game, Joe Cannon angrily denounced Platini, threatened Juventus, and threatened to lead the team to a bloody sweep of the Albert Stadium, which had already been spread to the whole of Europe in time by the angry Italian media and other national media.
It was destined to be a no-draw game with only one winner on the pitch and ...... off the pitch There is only one loser!
On the field, Juventus vs Chelsea.
Off the field, Platini + Moggie VS Joe Cannon!
may have felt that Qiao Wanxian's strength was weak, and the senior management of Chelsea Club immediately expressed their support for the young coach Wanxian, and reported Platini's "vulgar remarks" on the club's official website, and a big battle without gunpowder began.
At this moment, the whole Shijie is paying attention to the Alp Stadium!
If it were any other famous coach, even if the madman Mourinho said such a "big word", he might have attracted a lot of laughter, scolding and ridicule. On the football field, any game is uncertain, even if the difference in strength is huge, it is not without the possibility of an upset, no one can dare to swear that they can casually defeat a team like Juventus with a super-first-class defense when the game is not over, let alone a "bloodbath"?
However, when this sentence came out of Qiao's cannon's mouth, although it was arrogant, it gave people an eerie murderous aura, not like a wild word, but more like a curse!
It's hard to imagine how cold Chelsea's relationship with Juventus, Joe and Platini will be once this shocking result has occurred. Scene...... How bloody is it?
As soon as the "declaration of war" remarks came out, it directly pushed this game to the forefront. Originally, many Italian media paid more attention to the AC Milan vs PSV Eindhoven match, but Giovan Xian's sudden wild remarks directly made the heat of that game seriously reduced, and even "Milan Sports Newspaper" sent the most professional reporters to the Alp Stadium instead of going to the Netherlands with the team.
The pre-match controversy elevated the match to incredible proportions, with 60,000 attendees at the Alp Stadium! Of course, that includes 20,000 die-hard blue fans, but it's no small miracle for the Alp Stadium.
It's just that the Italians are clearly not as good as their art and wine, and the invective and boos from the stands never cease when Chelsea's first player walks out of the player's tunnel with a retractable tunnel.
And when Qiao Wanxian appeared in front of the away team's command system, the stormy boos and debris flying down from the stands never stopped for a moment.
Flags with abusive slogans flew everywhere in the stands.
And from the Ututus bench, there were hateful and hostile glances, Capello wore a pair of large frames, and he didn't bother to look this way, but it was not difficult to notice that there was a disdainful and mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
'Even at Stamford Bridge, you've only scored one goal. Here, at the Alp Stadium in Ututus, want a bloodbath? Qiao Cannon, you've been fooling around with women for a long time, and your brain is out of order, right? ”
Capello looked at his 4-4-2 formation on the pitch and felt a wave of pride.
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon;
Defenders: Zebina, Thuram, Tudor, Zambrotta;
Midfielders: Blasi, Nedved, Emerson, Camoranesi;
Forwards: Trezeguet, Piero.
This is Capello's best formation and Juventus' highest winning rate!
"Toot ......"
The referee finally blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the game was ...... Here we go!
