Chapter 148: Ticket (first update with guarantee, please vote for me)

Reporters gathered at the scene, and the media's cameras and camera lenses were focused on the person sitting on the high platform. He was Peter Limacher, the director of the UEFA Disciplinary Committee.

There were reporters under the high platform, and the jousting was more than a normal UEFA press conference.

The only reason why so many reporters came was that it was a press conference regarding the penalty results for Napoli's home game and Barcelona's Champions League quarter-finals.

Three days have passed since the match between Naples and Barcelona. UEFA changed its past bureaucratic attitude, conducted a hearing very efficiently, and then made a penalty.

At this time, Naples was having a fierce battle with Parma at home.

Penalties in the Champions League will not affect the team's national league, so Chen Yingxiong, who was sent off in the Champions League, started the game.

Just before the press conference started, the latest news from the Sao Paulo Stadium was that Chen Yingxiong had scored twice. Reporters all commented that Chen Yingxiong was completely venting his anger at being sent off from the Champions League on poor Parma...

After the press conference started, no one paid attention to Chen Yingxiong. Everyone turned their attention to Peter Limacher. Everyone wants to hear what kind of fine UEFA will issue. They had all guessed before, but there was one thing everyone agreed on, that is... this fine will definitely not be light!

"...After listening to multiple evidences and watching the game video, we have ruled as follows: 1. Naples player Chen Yingxiong maliciously elbowed Butzquez after being sent off, provoked the referee, and attacked the referee's bench after the game. Several crimes. He was also fined, and he was personally banned from European competitions for eight games and fined 10,000 euros. 2. Naples head coach Mazzarri was rude to the referee and was sent off with a red card. He was given an additional penalty and a personal fine of 10,000 euros. Five hundred euros. 3. Barcelona player Alves will be suspended for two games for diving. 4. Serious management errors occurred at Naples' home stadium of Sao Paulo, which led to a fight between fans. The Naples club was fined 20,000 euros, and the European Union The decision was made to suspend the team for three games at home. 5. Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova was fined 200 euros for participating in the conflict due to provocation..."

Chen Yingxiong was suspended for eight games! This is really one of the biggest fines issued by UEFA...

As for other penalties, they are nothing compared to this number.

In addition, Alves was suspended for two games. Does this mean that UEFA admitted the referee's mistake?

So as soon as Peter Limacher finished reading the penalty decision, the reporters below raised their hands high.

But Peter Limacher did not give them a chance to ask questions and directly announced that the press conference was over...

※ ※ ※

Naples' home game against Parma ended. The home team narrowly defeated Parma 3:2. Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game and was a major contributor to the team's victory.

However, the questions asked by the media who stopped him in the mixed zone for interviews after the game had nothing to do with the game.

"UEFA has made a decision on punishment, hero!" a reporter shouted.

Chen Yingxiong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Are they going to ban me for life?"

The reporter smiled helplessly: "It's impossible... UEFA fined you 20,000 euros and banned you for eight games in the European war."

Eight games?

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment.

There are only six games in the Champions League group stage... These eight games mean that he will miss all six group stage games!

"What about the other results?" His face, which was joyful just now because he scored two goals, instantly darkened.

"Well...Mazzarri was suspended for two games, Napoli was suspended for three home games, and Alves was suspended for two games for diving..."

"You said Alves has also been suspended?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

"Yes, because he dived."

Chen Yingxiong burst out laughing.

"Are you happy that Alves was punished?" the reporter asked.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "No. I just think it's funny."

"What do you think of the outcome of your punishment, hero?"

Many reporters gathered around Chen Yingxiong, wanting to hear what Chen Yingxiong had to say.

Chen Yingxiong thought for a moment and said: "I'm more concerned about whether Mr. Platini is particularly looking forward to Messi scoring more goals, so that he doesn't have to award me the Champions League top scorer award in the summer - because I want to You guarantee, he will be very embarrassed when the time comes.”

This answer directly clarified his conflict with Platini and UEFA.

The reporters who heard his answer were all excited - another exciting news!

But what Chen Yingxiong said is actually quite right. After scoring three goals in two rounds with Barcelona, ​​his number of goals in this Champions League has reached ten. He currently ranks first in the Champions League scorer list. Second-placed Messi scored seven goals with his hat trick in the second round against Naples. He only needs three more goals to surpass Chen Yingxiong and become the top scorer.

There are two semi-finals left in the Champions League. With Barcelona's strength, reaching the finals does not seem to be a problem. Counting the finals, there are three games. Three goals in three games? For Messi today, it is really nothing.

Therefore, it is indeed possible for Messi to surpass Chen Yingxiong.

Otherwise, Chen Yingxiong won the top scorer in the Champions League. At this summer's Champions League awards ceremony, Chen Yingxiong, who was severely punished by UEFA, came on stage to receive the award. I really don't know how embarrassing this scene was... Obviously, UEFA Lian doesn't like Naples, nor does he like Chen Yingxiong, a guy who speaks freely...

In fact, the hatred between the two sides was forged in the group match against Lyon.

Platini finally succeeded in killing Chen Yingxiong and Naples in this season's Champions League. But... was it really killed? Instead of setting up an enemy for yourself?

Chen Yingxiong turned around and left, and the reporters were all happy.

Chen Yingxiong's words first highlighted the tense relationship between him and Platini, and secondly, Messi was shot.

Messi is definitely the hottest attacker in world football today, but what about Chen Yingxiong? He is also a very good goal scorer. Comparison between the two seems inevitable...

Sure enough, the next day some media came to ask Messi what he thought of Chen Yingxiong's challenge - the Catalan media took Chen Yingxiong's words as a challenge and thought Chen Yingxiong was very rude.

Messi seemed very calm: "I just want to do my own thing and play my own game well. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me."

Catalan media have praised Messi for his masterful demeanor, politeness and grace, and a true gentleman. At the same time, they began to attack Chen Yingxiong with full firepower. All kinds of remarks can be summed up with one central idea - Chen Yingxiong attempts to compete with Messi for the top scorer in the Champions League, and it is simply ridiculous for an eliminated person to speak wildly. Comparing Chen Yingxiong and Messi, you are like fireflies competing against the bright moon. You overestimate your capabilities and make people laugh!

So does Chen Yingxiong have any response to this?

"I have nothing against Messi because we haven't even spoken. I don't care about him and I don't know him. I won't make any comments or offend him. The reaction of the Catalan media was too violent. Because they are too nervous. Whether I can win the top scorer in the Champions League actually only needs to wait for three games. So now I am not willing to talk nonsense with them."

In the locker room of the Fort Volturno training base, Chen Yingxiong was expressing his apology to his teammates. Because of his impulsiveness, he will be suspended for eight European games next season. It is likely that all eight of these games will be used in Champions League games.

Naples is currently ranked fourth in Serie A. According to the Champions League rules, the fourth place in Serie A needs to play qualifying rounds. Starting from the third round, after two qualifying matches at home and away, if they can win, they will enter the main draw.

Therefore, if Naples' current league ranking remains unchanged, Chen Yingxiong's suspension will last until the end of the group stage. Two European qualifying matches and the Champions League group stage.

It really makes people wonder whether UEFA's decision to ban eight games was based on a careful analysis of Napoli's ranking and remaining league opponents, and finally came to such a result.

Because if six games are suspended, including the two qualifying matches, Chen Yingxiong will return in the last two group matches.

And eight games perfectly guaranteed Chen Yingxiong's chance to play in the group stage. Through this season's performance, everyone has clearly understood Chen Yingxiong's role in Naples. If he can't play, Napoli may not even be able to qualify in the group stage...

Many people expressed such worries after the departure results came out.

Chen Yingxiong apologized to his teammates for this incident.

But everyone did not accept his apology.

"You don't need to apologize, hero." Paul Cannavaro, the team's captain, said to him, "If you were put back in that situation, would you still be able to bear it?"

Chen Yingxiong thought for a while: "I will try my best..."

But he didn't believe what he said, so his voice became softer and softer.

Everyone laughed.

"You see, no matter how many times you do it over, you will still do it. If you don't do it, you won't be the hero we know. And you are right about it, so you don't need to apologize to us. , we also do not accept your apology."

"I can miss the entire Champions League group stage..."

"Don't think we are too incompetent, hero!" Hamsik stood up. "Without you, we would have made it to the top 16! Then you will come back and fight side by side with us! Let UEFA's *** be shocked!"

"Marek is right." Goalkeeper De Sanctis also stood up and said. "We haven't avenged our loss to Barcelona yet. How could we be eliminated in the group stage?" Although he only joined Naples in the winter, this game with Barcelona has completely integrated him into Naples. One of them has the same hatred and hatred.

"That's right, hero! It's just the group stage! Barcelona was beaten so badly by us and had to rely on diving to advance. What are we afraid of in the group stage?"

Teammates expressed their opinions one after another.

This moved Chen Yingxiong greatly, and his uneasy heart was stabilized.

After the results of UEFA's punishment came out, it aroused more heated discussions at the media level.

The Naples club also decided to appeal.

But in fact, everyone understands it. No matter how much evidence the Naples club collects to appeal, it will be useless. The result is a lifetime penalty. Giving the Naples club ten days to appeal is just a show.

No decision will be changed on appeal.

So Napoli's appeal is just a gesture, that is - we will never succumb to the power of UEFA!

But this is a gesture. Whether you really don't give in or not... it still depends on the result of the game. In the Champions League next season, whether Chen Yingxiong can really not succumb to fate in the absence of Chen Yingxiong depends on whether Naples can really reach the top 16 of the Champions League.
