Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 277 Don’t Bend Down or Bow Your Head (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)
Chapter 277 Don’t bend down or bow your head (Third update, please vote for me!)
The staff member who was soaked in water went back to reply to the bosses. Seeing his "experience", everyone could only shake their heads and smile bitterly - these people in Naples are really... difficult to discipline!
In the end, a group of big guys were beaten by the new champions for more than ten minutes, and then the Naples players gradually walked out of the tunnel and appeared on the court.
Now, the awards ceremony can finally be held.
First, the runner-up medal awarding ceremony will be held.
When the Barcelona players saw the Naples players who were so excited that their faces were still red, they couldn't help but scorned in their hearts: "He's just a Champions League champion, and he's so complacent that he's such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!"
Perhaps only this kind of secret contempt can make them feel better... Runner-up, whoever tastes it knows what it feels like!
They don't feel good anyway.
This season, they have already tasted second place twice. Once in the Copa del Rey and once in the Champions League final. Obviously the blow of losing the Champions League final was even heavier for them.
You must know that they were defeated by their opponents at their peak period!
In the King's Cup, you can still say that you didn't give your best, you hid your strength, and you didn't pay attention to it. But in the Champions League final, all excuses and reasons are useless. If you lose, you lose, no excuses, no reasons. Do you want to say that the referee takes care of Naples? Objectively speaking, no.
Anyway, they lost in this final very humiliatingly.
Messi felt particularly aggrieved, but he did not even shed tears in the locker room like he did after losing to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final. This time he just pursed his lips tightly and didn't let himself really cry.
Because he has already made a vow in his heart - he must defeat Chen Yingxiong again and prove to the world that he, Messi, is not a stepping stone to someone's success or a background reference behind the protagonist!
He took the silver medal from Platini and lowered his head to leave, but Platini held him back.
The president of UEFA hugged him and whispered comfort in his ear: "You have performed well enough, but it is a pity... Don't be discouraged. You are still the number one in the world. No one can deny this. Leo!"
Messi knew that Platini was trying to comfort himself, but he felt awkward hearing the first sentence - I tried my best and it was good enough, but I still couldn't beat Chen Yingxiong. Are you not saying that I never expect to win against Chen Yingxiong in this life?
He nodded without saying anything, and even the expression on his face did not change. He just nodded to express his gratitude and left the podium.
When Guardiola went on stage to receive the award, Platini also comforted him.
"This is not your responsibility, Pep. You just have bad luck..." He couldn't say more. He couldn't say, "You actually lost to Chen Yingxiong," right?
He doesn't have a good impression of Chen Yingxiong. He will not destroy his own morale and increase the prestige of others at this time.
Guardiola is much more mature than Messi. He shrugged helplessly, shook his head and said: "Thank you, Mr. President, this is football... We tried our best, but they are stronger... They deserve this championship. ." Maybe not everyone in Barcelona's players is so personable, but Barcelona's head coach is definitely personable.
Platini patted his shoulder and sent away the last person from the Barcelona team to come up to receive the award. Then it was Naples' turn.
The Naples players were already waiting impatiently below.
The players began to walk up one by one to receive their gold medals and trophies.
Naples players have no favorable impressions of UEFA and Platini because the rift between the two sides last year was too deep.
So when receiving the award, most people were arrogant and kept laughing at Platini in their hearts.
Aren't you quite capable? If you have the guts, ask the referee to trick us again!
To be honest, Platini did not make things difficult for Napoli in the refereeing this time. Before the final, it was necessary for gimmicks, plot and hype. If Naples cannot advance to the finals, everyone will lose everything to watch. If Naples is willing, the audience is not willing, and sponsors and TV broadcast agencies are even less willing...
When it comes to the final, he feels that with Barcelona's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Naples. That’s why he didn’t do anything in terms of refereeing - he didn’t want to go too far and leave too many excuses to others. He still wanted to run for FIFA president. If he gets too carried away now, he will talk about it later. It may become a weapon used by political opponents to attack oneself.
He's not that stupid.
He feels that Barcelona, which is at its peak and even Mourinho's Real Madrid cannot stop it, should be able to beat Naples, there is no doubt. The match between the two sides last season was just an accident. Barcelona was not familiar with Naples that time. Now that we are familiar with it, Naples is no longer a threat. He is very familiar with small teams like Naples, which rely on three axes. Once they are used up, there is no threat.
There are many such teams in football. Italy has Verona, Lecce, Chievo, and Naples, England has Nottingham Forest, and Germany has Hoffenheim...
They always rely on the advantage of being mysterious and not being familiar with their opponents to use their three-blade ax to carve out a piece of the world. But once the freshness wears off, and as their opponents study them deeper, they have nothing left to do.
Unexpectedly, although this Naples really only has three axes, the power of these three axes is different from before, and it can knock down the overlord Barcelona...
This situation is like Naples yelling, charging with an ax high, Barcelona holding a gun to block it, thinking that there is no big deal in three axes, after I have suffered your three axes, I will pick you with one shot... but in my heart Before he finished speaking, he was split in half by the other party with guns and men. How tragic it would be to have it...
But Chen Yingxiong has been famous for a long time, and Barcelona was hacked to death by Chen Yingxiong's three-axe. Do you think it was unfair or not?
Everyone said, "Be careful when bears are out." But Barcelona turned a blind eye to such warnings. They relied on their guns and men, solid defenses, and sharp attacks to ignore the giant bears. Who would have thought that now they are lying in the cemetery, with their epitaphs engraved in the newly erected tombstones, which are also a true portrayal of their regrets: "The bear came out without paying attention"...

When Chen Yingxiong walked onto the stage, he still raised his arms in a stinky way and walked over with a figure-footed step, constantly showing off to the fans in the stands along the way.
If he had a choice, Platini really didn't want to award Naples, especially Chen Yingxiong. Because he knows that Chen Yingxiong is not a good bird!
When Chen Yingxiong walked up to him, he raised the gold medal belt, which was an action to hang it directly around Chen Yingxiong's neck.
This is a normal behavior, because everyone does this when accepting awards.
It’s rare for someone to put a medal directly into the recipient’s hand.
However, in Chen Yingxiong's view, he does not accept such "convention", because in this way, he will first bow to Platini...
It was just a normal action. If he didn't lower his head, given his size, it would be difficult for Platini to hang the gold medal around Chen Yingxiong's neck.
But Chen Yingxiong was unwilling to bow to Platini, very unwilling. Especially when Platini did not lift the medal very high - for a tall man, Platini should try to lift it a little higher so that it can be hung on the opponent's neck. He didn't do this when facing Chen Yingxiong.
Maybe it was just an unintentional accident, maybe it was Platini's intention.
But no matter what, his action will cause Chen Yingxiong to not only lower his head, but also may have to bend down...
This action was like bowing to someone. Chen Yingxiong absolutely could not accept such an action. It’s okay to bow to others, but there’s no way to bow to Platini!
He didn't care whether Platini did it intentionally or unintentionally, anyway, he didn't lower his head, looked down at Platini with his head held high.
The two people were in a stalemate like this for about two or three seconds.
Then Chen Yingxiong stretched out his hand, which meant - put the thing in my hand!
Platini is so angry! I have never seen such a graceless winner!
But Chen Yingxiong doesn't care how the loser feels - if he doesn't further stimulate the loser, he will already be the loser.
Platini held back his anger, thinking that as the president of UEFA, there was really no need to vent his anger with a little kid...
So he stuffed the gold medal into Chen Yingxiong's arms, stopped shaking his hand, and turned around to get another gold medal.
He originally thought that he should express his dissatisfaction and disdain for Chen Yingxiong to some extent and let Chen Yingxiong know what he was doing. Unexpectedly, before he turned around, Chen Yingxiong had already turned around and left - Platini thought that he could beat Chen Yingxiong without shaking hands with him, but he never thought that he didn't want to shake hands with him at all!
It’s frustrating!
For the first time, Platini felt that in an ordinary player, although he was the president of UEFA, he had nothing to do!
※ ※ ※
After Chen Yingxiong got the gold medal, he hung it around his neck. It shows that it’s not that they really don’t value this honor, but that they really don’t want to bow and bow to Platini.
Platini was even more angry. He kept holding his breath and handed out awards to the Naples players very quickly. He did not even drag the players and coaches to chat with him like he did with Barcelona.
Because of Chen Yingxiong, his attitude towards Naples players and coaches is a bit indifferent. Giving out awards is regarded as completing the task. Once the task is completed, this matter has nothing to do with him.
In the end, when Paul Cannavaro took over the Champions League trophy from Platini, it was the climax of the game. Although the Barcelona fans had almost left, the remaining Naples fans still created a huge momentum. In their cheers, Paul Cannavaro raised the Champions League trophy high and announced The birth of a new king.
"The winner of the UEFA Champions League in the 2010-2011 season - Napoli!!"
