No. 368: The crisis that UEFA has encountered
In the final round, Olympiacos beat Arsenal 3-1 and they had a few points to qualify from the group.
It was a miracle that the Olympiacos players were celebrating their team's qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League.
Olympiacos beat Arsenal 3-1, so their rivals Marseille will need to beat Borussia Dortmund by at least 3-0 for Marseille to snatch qualification from Olympiacos.
In the other game, in the first half, Dortmund led Marseille 2-0. In the eyes of the Olympiacos, it is impossible for Marseille to score five goals in the second half of the game, and they are definitely qualified for the last 16 of this season's UEFA Champions League.
Olympiacos fans are also excited, believing they are on the verge of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.
However, after the game, a basin of cold water instantly poured down from their heads, drenching them with a cold heart, Marseille team actually scored six goals in a row in the second half of the game, and finally won 6-2 away against Dortmund, Marseille team instantly won the second place in the group with two more goal difference than Olympiacos, and won the game to advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The Olympiacos went crazy in an instant, and none of them believed that it was true, and then the Olympiacos were very angry and shouted: "Match-fixing! It's match-fixing! Naked match-fixing! ”
The head coach of the Olympiacos team even pointed the finger directly at UEFA President Platini, and he roared wildly: "Platini, you are killing football!" You will be the sinner of football! ”
There is a reason why Olympiacos people are so angry, in fact, this UEFA Champions League is not Olympiacos has suffered such a situation, Ajax in Group D has also suffered such a situation, and it is also Lyon, a team from France, who is competing with Ajax for a promotion place, is it a coincidence? The devil believes!
This was the case before the final round of Group D, with Real Madrid securing top spot early on, while Ajax had eight points and a goal difference of three. Lyon, on the other hand, have five points on points, but their goal difference is minus four.
Lyon still have a theoretical chance of qualifying in the final round, and if they want to appear, they must beat Dinamo Zagreb, who have already been eliminated, and hope that Real Madrid will beat Ajax by a big score.
This is almost impossible to happen, as Marseille have to beat Dinamo Zagreb by a big margin and Real Madrid have to beat Ajax by a big score, which is almost impossible to achieve.
However, Group D was made out of Group D by Lyon from France.
In the final round, Lyon played Dinamo Zagreb away from home, and they scored seven goals in the second half in a 0-1 situation to win 7-1 against Dinamo Zagreb.
The score was even more striking, and even more striking was the strange red card from Dinamo Zagreb veteran Yerk Leko and the strange winking and thumbs-up of Vida at the Lyon striker, as well as the defensive look in his eyes.
This makes this game full of conspiracy theories and full of match-fixing condemnation.
In the other game, Real Madrid really beat Ajax 3-0 at their home stadium, and Real Madrid's three goals were not without problems, and it was obvious that Real Madrid's first two goals were obviously offside.
The two good goals scored by Ajax in this game were blown offside, which finally had to make Ajax hate to be eliminated.
After these two games, Lyon reached eight points, and their goal difference changed from minus four to plus-two, while Ajax's goal difference became zero, and finally Lyon miraculously squeezed out Ajax and qualified from the group.
After the game, Ajax manager Frank de Boer was very angry, he said: "There is definitely something wrong with this game, there is a pair of black hands behind the scenes, this is a shame for football, this is a shame for all football people, this must be investigated, this must be punished!" ”
On the bright side, Frank de Boer did not attack Platini, but according to some insiders, below, Frank de Boer cursed Platini frantically, claiming that Platini was the biggest cancer! European football will surely be ruined at the hands of Platini!
Before, when the Group D match ended, it attracted a lot of attention, and countless people were discussing the game in this group, and they were all questioning whether this round of the game was shady? Whether there is a suspicion of being manipulated.
According to many media people, this round of matches was indeed rigged, and the two matches in this round were indeed match-fixing, the purpose of which was naturally that someone wanted to send the French team to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
There are even some media outlets that directly point the finger at UEFA President Michel Platini, who all believe that Platini is operating this round of matches, and some even come up with so-called evidence.
However, UEFA quickly stood up to refute the rumors, claiming that this is someone deliberately smearing them UEFA, this is some people with ulterior motives doing it, please don't believe the invitation lightly, they UEFA will not do such a dirty thing.
UEFA was quick to come out and state: "So far, we haven't found anything unusual in these two games that needs to be investigated. ”
UEFA's statement is naturally unacceptable, especially by the Ajax people, who see it as a blatant cover-up.
At that time, when Dongfang Chen saw such a situation, he was also surprised, and after seeing such a situation and such a score, no matter who it was, the first thought that came to his mind was definitely "match-fixing"!
These two games are indeed too suspicious, especially this match between Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb, where Nima scored seven goals in 45 minutes? And the seven goals scored are not so convincing, no matter how you look at it, it feels like it's full of cats.
If there are no problems with such games, then what games are problematic?
This game is even more disgusting than the South Korean team's table in the knockout round in '02. It's no wonder that Frank de Boer was so angry and scolded Platini in private.
Dongfang Chen also felt very shocked, although the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League every year is full of various conspiracy theories, but it has never been so blatant.
Dongfang Chen was really a little drunk, and what made Dongfang Chen even more drunk was that there was such a situation in their group.
Olympiacos' win over Arsenal, who were all substitutes, was a bit of a surprise, but when you think about it, it's reasonable. After all, the Arsenal team is all substitutes, and the Arsenal team is away, they are busy, the state is not at the best, and the loss is reasonable.
And the match on the side of the Marseille team is really out of the glasses.
Borussia Dortmund led 2-0 in the first half, but there was little to fight back against Marseille. But after the start of the second half, it was like a different team for Dortmund, full of holes.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Marseille team in the second half and the Marseille team in the first half have not changed much, but they instantly turned the tide of the game inexplicably, frantically besieging Dortmund, and even scored six goals in 45 minutes with an overhead kick to complete a super reversal.
Seeing this, Dongfang Chen felt very ridiculous, this Nima was simply dying.
No wonder the Olympiacos were so angry that they lashed out at Platini directly, which made him furious no matter who he replaced.
This edition of the UEFA Champions League is full of conspiracy theories and match-fixing, and UEFA's credibility has dropped to its lowest.
Even at this time, there were media reports that UEFA President Michel Platini had taken bribes and had been involved in gambling. Ball and manipulation of games, it is even said that there have been rigged matches in all European League Leagues, and the number of UEFA Champions League games suspected of being rigged over the years has reached as many as 72.
After this material was exposed, UEFA's credibility fell again and again, and Platini bore the brunt.
UEFA and Platini immediately came forward to set the record straight, with Platini saying that he had never accepted any bribes and had not been involved in gambling. ball, which is completely malicious slander by people with a heart.
UEFA stood up and said: "We admit that some Champions League games have been rigged, but none of this has anything to do with UEFA, and now UEFA is secretly investigating these things, and they will give an explanation to the public." Of course, there weren't as many rigged matches as the outside world revealed, which was all sensationalism. There really wasn't anything suspicious or unusual about the few games in the season, and there were no problems with those games. ”
After hearing UEFA's words, the fans naturally didn't believe it, would they not be able to see such an obvious thing? The public laughed, since you UEFA teased everyone as a fool, then the public also saw your UEFA as a joke, just look at it.
At this time, everyone is watching the draw for the last 16 of this season's Champions League, and they all want to see what kind of draw will be drawn for Marseille and Lyon.
Yes, at this time, the draw for the knockout round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League will soon take place.
Arsenal are back in London for a league game at the weekend, where they play Everton at their home stadium.
Everton's quality is still very strong, and Everton's manager David Moyes is also very good, he takes good care of Everton, which is a difficult opponent to play against.
Fortunately, the main players of the Arsenal team did not fly to the away stadium in midweek and rested in London, so the Arsenal side are still very confident in this game, and they are confident that they will win the game.
Dongfang Chen and others appeared in the starting list, and as soon as the game began, the Arsenal team launched a ferocious attack and besieged the Everton team. Everton are also a good team and they have created a number of chances to threaten Arsenal.
This game was very difficult, and the Arsenal team played very difficult, but in the end, the Arsenal team still relied on Dongfang Chen's penalty area to grab a goal, defeated Everton 1-0, and got three points.
