Chapter 142, Godfather or Father?

Málaga has arrived in Lyon, they have just walked out of the airport hall, for Lyon, although this opponent is not a traditional giant, they are now the team at the top of the La Liga table, which is not easy to deal with!"

If Lyon wants to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they must play well at home, and Malaga has no experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League, which may be Lyon's advantage!"

on the TV screen.

The players in Malaga were walking out of the airport, and there were fans on both sides of the road to meet them, and it was obvious that most of them were Chinese faces – the majority of the fans in the rest of Europe in Málaga were probably from the Dragons.

There is no doubt that this is what the 10th of Malaga, who appeared in the close-up on the TV screen, brought it.

Lyon head coach Remy Garde looked at Yelo on the TV and shook his head, shaking the chaotic thoughts out of his head.

Arsenal legend and French football legend Remy is only 45 years old this year, which is quite young from the manager's point of view.

He took over at the start of the season.

He was replaced by Claude Puel, who had a poor record last season.

As a Ligue 1 giant.

Lyon's record is in the annals of history. Lyon, though, were in trouble last season.

In the league, Lille won the title, with Lyon in third place behind Marseille.

In the first knockout round of the Champions League, Lyon lost to Real Madrid.

In the French Cup, Lyon was eliminated by Nice.

In the Carabao Cup, Lyon was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain.

Fighting on four fronts, the four fronts were completely defeated.

As head coach, Claude Puel is to blame.

So at the end of the season, Claude Puel was fired for Squid, Remy. Gard took office.

Remy. Garde is actually also a Lyon legend, a legend of Lyon, he was born in the Lyon academy, and the prime of his career was dedicated to Lyon, but the peak of his career was obtained at Arsenal.

He joined Arsenal in 1996 alongside Patrick Vieira. In three seasons, Remy Garde made 43 appearances under Arsene Wenger.

In the 1997/98 season, Remy Gard helped Arsenal win the Premier League.

That year, Arsenal also won the FA Cup, and Remy Gald contributed a lot.

And now, this Lyon and Arsenal double celebrity has been thinking about it for the past few days: how to curb Yelo?

Obviously, he hasn't thought of any good solutions yet - after all, although Remy was a very famous player when he was a player, as a coach, his reputation is really not good, and he has not been able to achieve anything too good, and he is a relatively mediocre manager overall.

This is actually quite normal.

A good player is not necessarily a good coach.

A good coach doesn't need to be a good player.

Jose Mourinho's playing days were just a little-known small role, and if you want to talk about the achievements of your playing days, Remy is a big player. Gal's can throw Mourinho ten streets.

But when it comes to the achievements of being a manager, Remy. Garde couldn't catch up with Mourinho.

Just as Remy picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV.

The TV flashed.

The figure of the current UEFA president, Michel Platini, appeared.

This is an interview with Platini on Sporting France.

I don't know what questions the host asked.

But what Platini said made Remy put down the remote control.

We are investigating the financial problems of some clubs and if they violate the Financial Fair Play Act, I think we will take action!"

Platini said with that very official smile on his face.

The host showed a very interested look: "For example? Will these clubs be fined, or banned from European competitions?? ”

"Yes, we will take very drastic measures, and if these investigated clubs are not able to maintain their financial balance by the 2012 year, then they will be punished!" Platini said.

"For example? Is it convenient to reveal which clubs are available? ”

"Of course, it's not a secret, it's the clubs that have received funding from the consortium, such as Malaga in La Liga." Platini said.

The hosts were stunned for a moment.

He moved his body visibly uneasily, as if he didn't expect Platini to mention Malaga.

To know.

There are now only two days left until the start of the match between Malaga and Lyon.

Lyon is the only seed in Ligue 1 in the Champions League, while Platini is French and the president of UEFA.

He directly mentioned Malaga's name in the media.

This seems to be a bit of a mistake.

However, Platini smiled slightly, and he seemed to see the host's crampedness and unease.

'It's nothing, we're very frank and the financial investigation doesn't affect the team's performance in the Champions League, can we still manipulate the game?' Pladyini leaned forward, as if he had told a big joke, and he laughed "hahahahaha".

The host of France Sports 1 also laughed.

His uneasiness and crampedness were gone.

Yes.

Platini was French.

He's definitely going to do something for the good of French football.

Now in the knockout round of the Champions League, Lyon is the only seed in Ligue 1.

If the Ligue 1 seedlings are eliminated in the round of 16.

So how can Ligue 1 be embarrassed?

How can French football be so bad?

If this continues, the title of the fifth largest league in Ligue 1 will be surpassed by the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League.

And Platini is no longer just a footballer.

He is now the president of UEFA, he is a political animal, and his every move has a deep meaning.

The host looked at Platini with a smile on his face.

Even Platini was not afraid, what was he afraid of?

So he followed Platini's question and asked: "But Malaga have a lot of momentum this season, they are now top of La Liga, if they win the Champions League and are punished in the financial investigation and cannot play in next season's Champions League, wouldn't that be it?"

"Of course, of course, the reigning Champions League champions are not appropriate to miss next season's Champions League." Platini smiled meaningfully again. "So I think it's going to be a good game and the really strong teams will qualify."

"So you're going to watch this game at the Parc Olympique de Lyon?"

The moderator asked.

"Why not? Of course, I didn't go as UEFA president, I went to watch the game as an ordinary Frenchman. ”

Platini smiled.

It's really a clear distinction between public and private.

Remy. Garde turned off the TV and his eyes flashed.

His team seems to see some hope of qualifying.

After all

Lyon as the only seedling in Ligue 1.

It seems to have very awesome supporters.

"Shameless! It's so shameless!! ”

After this TV show aired.

Many Spanish journalists complained in private.

"Before the big game, it was unheard of for the UEFA president to favor one team in such a way!"

"Malaga is finished."

"We know what Platini does, hehe."

"The semi-finals of the 2008-2009 season, the Stamford Bridge incident." A journalist from Madrid sneered.

"Hey, hey, you're going to talk about evidence!!" A Catalan journalist retorted.

The so-called "Stamford Bridge incident" refers to the 2008-2009 Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona at home.

Prior to that, Chelsea had held Barcelona to a 0-0 draw, which was a very good result, and back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea only needed a win to qualify.

But that one game.

It became a very controversial game.

In short, the final result was that Barcelona advanced to the final despite great controversy, beating Manchester United 2-0 in the final.

Pep Guardiola won six titles in his first season as Barcelona manager.

It was also the beginning of Pep Guardiola's Dream III era.

The media were questioning the match after the game.

Of course.

The media will not say that Barcelona bought the referee.

Barcelona don't have the ability to do that, and they're unlikely to do it.

Case.

The only one who can do it is Platini, who has expressed his love for Barcelona and Messi in public more than once.

In fact, this is also a battle between UEFA and the Premier League.

As the Premier League fully enters the era of golden yuan football.

The competitiveness of Premier League teams is starting to rise.

Starting from the 06-07 season.

06-07, 07-08, 08-09.

For three consecutive seasons, there have been at least three English teams in the Champions League semi-finals.

And all three teams are the same, all Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool.

The only difference is the other team.

The 06-07 season was AC Milan.

The other two seasons were Barcelona.

In fact.

From the 04-05 season to the 08-09 season.

For five consecutive seasons, at least one Premier League team has reached the final.

The 07-08 Champions League final also turned into a Premier League civil war.

Manchester United and Chelsea are battling it out for the title.

So.

Platini, who was already unhappy with Jinyuan football, took action - in order to prevent the 08-09 Champions League final from becoming a Premier League civil war, he hacked Chelsea.

All of the above is speculation in the media, and there is no evidence whatsoever.

It's just chasing after the wind, conspiracy theories, and everyone is just watching the fun.

But Platini did on more than one occasion be very unhappy with the Premier League's overly money-seeking attitude.

He thinks it's a disservice to football.

Hence the Fiscal Fairness Policy.

This policy requires UEFA teams to break even, and all transfer funds must come from their own operating income.

This is a bolt from the blue for many teams that have been bought by foreign funds.

And even if Malaga hit the muzzle of the gun - after the appearance of the Financial Fair Play Act, it still "committed crimes against the wind", which naturally made Platini very blind.

Now when Platini talks about "UEFA is investigating Malaga" before the match between Malaga and Lyon, there is a lot of talk about "UEFA is investigating Malaga".

This in itself is very abnormal.

Many Spanish media are worried that Malaga may be hacked.

First of all, Platini is French, and it is normal for him to support Lyon, and it is normal for the interests of Ligue 1 to be considered.

Secondly, to set an example to Málaga is also a warning to clubs that accept outside money – for UEFA, a small club like Malaga is a good example to be made, isn't it?

But.

These are just speculations in the media.

As for the evidence?

Who can find the evidence?

Platini is the president of UEFA, but people also have freedom of speech.

Can the words on TV affect the outcome of the game?

This is what many French media have said.

In the Dragon Country.

The fans have already started scolding.

"Platini: It's. It's shameless to be public! ”

"Godfather! Godfather! ”

"What godfather, this is a father, much more powerful than a godfather!"

"What about Malaga? Will it really be done? ”

"Not necessarily. To be honest, I'm a little worried right now. ”

The fans were talking a lot and were in a nervous mood.

But what the end result is.

It's still going to be clear until the game
