Chapter 101 Post-match storm (4)

Updated: 2012-11-25

This period of time is simply a holiday for the local Italian media, and there are news points that can be hyped every day. Some publishing house even planned to compile the remarks of all parties before and after this incident into a book, and then publish and sell them... They are sure that this will be a hot seller.

Italian Football Association Chairman Abette frowned in the office. He has calmed down. At this time, he must make a decision whether to kill the chicken to warn the monkey or to calm the situation. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey is his first idea. He plans to severely punish the relevant players as the official speech of the Italian Football Association said. However, that means that the league will suffer the pain of the "big earthquake" again. After the "phone door", Inter Milan is the dominant player. This is not for the long-term development of a league.

What a good thing. AC Milan is showing strong strength now, and Juventus has also returned to Serie A and has shown the kind of background of a veteran strong team. The entire Serie A league has recovered, and it has finally recovered from the pain behind the "phone door". Now, if you kill AC Milan and Juventus, at least, in this season, it will become unrealistic for AC Milan to compete with Inter for the league championship, and Juventus will find it difficult to enter the Champions League field next season.

It doesn't seem appropriate to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. What about the people? Abette shook his head. They can't just be so cheap! Otherwise, where is the prestige of the Italian Football Association!

Besides, both the Italian Football Association and FIFA are paying close attention to this matter.

"Dingling dingling dingling dingling..." At this time, the phone in the office rang.

"Hello respectful Chairman, it's me, John." A voice rang out on the phone.

Hearing this voice, Abette immediately knew who was on the other end of the phone, and John Elkan, the owner of Juventus, the heir to the Agnelli family and vice chairman of the Fiat Group.

"Oh, Mr. Elcan, hello." Abette said with a frown, "I knew you would call, but this fact is a headache for me."

"Is there anything I need to help?" said John Elcan, the old man.

"You know, if something like this happens, the Football Association must kill him." Abette said, rubbing his temples.

"I understand." Mr. Fiat smiled. You just could feel his smile on the phone. "The purpose of my call is to say that I hope this matter can be handled fairly."

Abette thrust his face and said without comment, "Just? Please rest assured, absolutely just."

"Okay, don't bother me anymore. If you have time to visit Trentino Villa."

"Thank you, I'll go if I have time."

After hanging up the phone, Abette grabbed his hair with some depression. Of course, he understood the meaning of the old man calling, but he had to worry about the meaning of this person, because in the entire Italy, the Fiat Group has great influence, or we can understand it as Juventus's influence and control have always been in Italian football.

"It seems that we still have to consider taking care of Juventus's relationship." Abette thought helplessly.

However, Juventus cannot be too strict, but can AC Milan be killed? Abette has a headache. Although Italian Prime Minister Prodi is now a leftist, this has also affected former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi's AC Milan team. AC Milan has suffered from unfair "misjudgment" recently and has also been affected by this trend.

However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the influence of the AC Milan boss in Italy is immeasurable.

Sure enough, at this moment, the phone ringing rang again.

"Good evening, dear Mr. Chairman." A very heavy nasal voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Good evening, haha... your players are so fierce! You were watching the game on the spot. Tsk tsk, Chiellini, Zebina and Lerotale were injured and hospitalized. Zebina was even discharged from the hospital just today... How do I deal with a headache now?" Abette was not surprised that Galliani would call. He smiled and said, "If he would be under pressure to face John Elkan, then the Chairman of the Football Association and Galliani would be more familiar. After all, they are both big names in the football circle. They are more familiar with each other.

Abette's words are by no means false. The Italian Football Association's technical team watched the game video. Zhang Yang's combat effectiveness is amazing. Juventus is really a tragedy. A group of people beat Zhang Yang and three people were hospitalized. Zhang Yang had nothing to do except for being a little bit of a shame.

"Haha, I know you have a headache now. Are you interested in listening to my opinion?" Galliani said with a smile.

"Well, you say!" Abette helped his glasses. Although Galliani's opinion was not as important as the chairman of the Fiat Group, he had to listen. Because Galliani is famous for being a "wisdom star" in football, he might be able to give some constructive suggestions. Thinking of this, Abette was a bit of a whisper. Look at AC Milan, although he was also here to put pressure on him, his attitude was good. This is how to be a human being, and Juventus was only tough.

"It's like this, Mr. Chairman, we are also shocked and regretful that such a thing happened, and at the same time we promise that there will be no such thing again..." Galliani said.

Abette on the other end of the phone thought, you still want to have a next time.

"What we mean is that the fines can be relatively stricter, and the suspension punishment can be relatively tolerant." Galliani said with a smile, "We have always performed very well in the European arena, winning honors for Italian football. I hope the Football Association can also take care of it on the basis of not violating the law."

Listening to Galiani's words on the other side of the phone, Abette didn't speak, but he had to admit that he was indeed a little moved by Galiani's words.

"Well... OK, you convinced me. But one thing is about that Chinese guy. It is probably difficult to give a light sentence for his punishment. I hope you can understand our difficulties."

Hearing Abette say this, Galliani immediately became anxious. He said so much, the most important thing is to help Zhang Yang reduce the punishment as much as possible. In the current AC Milan team, Zhang Yang has fully proved his strength and value. Before that, Galliani and Ancelotti also had in-depth communication. Ancelotti said bluntly that in AC Milan, Zhang Yang's role in offense is second only to Kaka, and he will even play a greater role in time. In a word, Zhang Yang is very important, and you must protect him!

"No, no, no, others can give a lighter sentence, only Zhang cannot." Abette did not give in to this. He knew very well that the call from Juventus just now, in addition to implying that Juventus players should give lighter sentences, it was necessary to severely punish Zhang Yang. This is the true meaning of the saying "to uphold fairness". It can be said that now, Zhang Yang has become Juventus' public enemy.

"Okay, that's it, Mr. Chairman, we understand your difficulties." Galliani's tone was not as good as before, but he was still polite. He knew that Juventus must have put pressure on the Football Association. Otherwise, Abette would not be so tough on the issue of banter.

"Goodbye." Abette hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Now the tone has basically been set, and the relevant players will be relatively relieved, but Zhang Yang will not reduce the punishment. Of course, although Juventus' opinions must be followed, AC Milan's face must not be taken care of, and the Football Association will not punish more severely as originally considered, just 'keep fair'. Well, that's it.

At this moment, Abette suddenly felt that the seat under his butt was so boring.

The next day, Italy, Rome, the orange building, in the press hall on the third floor.

There were reporters gathering at the scene, and the media's cameras and camera lenses were aimed at the person sitting on the platform. He was Kong Xili, the head of the Discipline Committee of the Italian Football Association (Figc).

At this time, the entire scene was filled with reporters, and the formation of long spears and short cannons showed that something big was about to happen.

Because all media and journalists have received notice that at today's press conference, the Italian Football Association Discipline Committee (figc) will announce the punishment results of violent conflicts in the stadium between AC Milan and Juventus in the 14th round of the Serie A League.

Three days have passed since the match between AC Milan and Juventus. The Italian Football Association has changed its bureaucratic attitude and held a hearing very efficiently. It is said that in the past few days, the lights in the most important office of the building were still on until midnight, which shows the high efficiency of the Italian Football Association. In fact, the Italian Football Association was also forced. It is said that UEFA President Platini has called Abette and said that if the Italian Football Association feels it is inconvenient, UEFA will handle the matter on their behalf. This makes the Italian football world angry. Abette is particularly angry and directly responds to Platini, "This is something that happened in the Serie A. The Italian Football Association has the ability to handle it on its own. It doesn't take UEFA to bother."

For the AC Milan club, the club sent a staff member to the scene to listen to the punishment results.

Juventus sent Conte to come.

AC Milan has not sent out a coaching staff member, because at this time, AC Milan is preparing for a match with the Celtics. Tonight, the last game of the 2007/2008 European Champions League group stage will start. AC Milan, who has already advanced and has locked in the first place in the group, will welcome the last opponent of the Celtics at home.

Zhang Yang, Gattuso, Ambrosini and others received red cards in the Serie A, and they would definitely be suspended. They just didn't know how many games they were suspended, so they could not play in the next Serie A. However, the ban in the Serie A will not affect the European arena.

Therefore, although AC Milan has already advanced, Ancelotti does not plan to rotate in today's game. Zhang Yang will also start.

The host of the press conference announced that the press conference began. Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Concili, head of the Italian Football Association Discipline Committee (Figc). Everyone wanted to hear what kind of fine the Italian Football Association issued. They had discussed before. Although they didn’t know the punishment of AC Milan and Juventus’s many stars, there was one thing that everyone agreed, that is... the punishment for Zhang Yang is definitely the heaviest, and the punishment will never be light. It is rumored that Juventus’s big boss, Fiat Group Vice Chairman John Elkan, has put pressure on the Football Association and must severely punish Zhang Yang to relieve Juventus. Only then can FIFA and UEFA see the Italian Football Association’s determination to punish violence on the stadium, especially blocking the mouth of UEFA President Platini. He did not give him an excuse to extend his hand to the Italian Football Association.

In a sense, Zhang Yang is also a victim of Platini's attempt to interfere in the Italian Football Association. Of course, fans who don't like him will definitely not think so. For example, Juventus fans will definitely feel that no matter how severe the punishment Zhang Yang is, they deserve it. They wish Zhang Yang would be suspended for life.
