Chapter 1548 Perfunctory Responsibility

When Pablo walked out of the door of the newspaper in despair, the "Daily Sports" finally issued a statement overnight, which was directly hung on the headlines of the website and APP, and was also pinned on the social account.

The statement read:

We have noticed the controversy on the Internet about the content published by our reporter Pablo on social platforms recently. After investigation and verification, Pablo’s interviewee, Meyers, did not tell the truth in front of the camera out of safeguarding the home team, and Pablo posted the content on the Facebook platform without rigorous verification.

Although Facebook is Pablo's private platform, this newspaper also reprinted some of the content out of trust in his professional behavior. Here, the newspaper expresses its sincere apologies to the public for the bad influence caused by this incident. We deeply regret what Mr. Meyers did. This newspaper has always followed the principle of news authenticity and strongly condemns dishonest behavior.

Mr. Pablo has resigned to the newspaper because of serious mistakes in his work and has been approved. We wish Mr. Pablo all the best in his future career path!

Finally, thanks again for the supervision of public opinion, this newspaper will strengthen the content review in the future to prevent similar mistakes from happening again.

The time when "Daily Sports Daily" posted this apology statement was about 4:00 a.m. local time in Barcelona. Not many people saw it at the first time. Xia Ruofei also went back to the bedroom after browsing the news. rest.

Xia Ruofei only saw this statement from the "Daily Sports Daily" after getting up the next morning.

In fact, in the reports of major European sports media, the "Daily Sports" has been criticized for its complete appearance, especially the "Marca" and "Aspen" in the Madrid region, which are unscrupulously satirical. . But in any case, the "Daily Sports News" can be considered to have found a way to justify it. As for whether others believe it or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

This news broke out relatively late last night. In addition to the media industry where there are special people monitoring public opinion, many people actually only read the news when they wake up in the morning. From this perspective, although the Daily Sports Daily is a few hours late A statement was issued, but the timeliness was not too far behind.

It's just that in the face of the overwhelming coverage of sports media across Europe, the statement of the "Daily Sports" seems so pale and powerless. More and more people saw the news after getting up in the morning and participated in the discussion.

The most unpleasant of them are the Barcelona fans. When Pablo posted the video of the interview with Meyers, the Barcelona fans were really proud, but when they turned around, they found that it was an uncompromising one. The fake news, whether Pablo deliberately concocted it or Meyers lied, in short, the content of this interview video is fake, which is beyond doubt, and the most important thing is that Ruby was in the press conference. The accusations above are all true. For Barcelona fans, this is really too bad.

Therefore, the storm of public opinion is still blowing, and there is a tendency to intensify.

However, Xia Ruofei was quite upset when he saw this statement from the Daily Sports Daily.

"Daily Sports Daily" tried every means to clear the relationship, this Xia Ruofei is not surprised, anyone else would do this.

The most unacceptable thing for Xia Ruofei is that in the statement of "Daily Sports", there is no apology like Espanyol and Ruby himself, and there is no mention of their mockery of Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei. You know, the fake video of Pablo's two days ago, "Daily Sports" reprinted it for the first time, and also wrote a commentary article, ridiculing the Espanyol team, and the language is even more vitriolic , and now things have reversed, and they are feigning deafness.

Although the "Daily Sports" also expressed its apology in a statement,

But that's just an understatement, and the target of the apology is actually the "public", which simply lacks the slightest sincerity.

Xia Ruofei looked at the comments of netizens on the official Facebook of "Daily Sports Daily" with a sullen face. Barcelona fans must be in awkward silence at this time, while other neutral fans made comments one after another, and many people said that "Daily Sports Daily" The statement of the newspaper is simply a continuation of the lie, and the apology lacks the most basic sincerity. It is the Espanyol who should be apologized the most.

Seeing that the netizens' comments below are generally blaming the "Daily Sports News", Xia Ruofei's mood is a little better.

At this moment, his cell phone on the bedside table rang.

Xia Ruofei didn't get up, just stretched out his hand and took the phone from the air.

This is a call from Zhou Leiyun. After Xia Ruofei answered it, he said lightly, "Mr. Zhou, get up so early!"

Zhou Leiyun said, "Mr. Xia, have you seen the statement issued by the Daily Sports Daily?"

Xia Ruofei sneered: "I'm watching it! These grandsons are really insincere! Don't shirk responsibility, apologize and play word games..."

Zhou Leiyun also scolded: "The pro-Barcelona media are so virtuous, they just look down on our Espanyol club from the bottom of their hearts!"

"What are you going to do?" Xia Ruofei asked with great interest.

"They don't want to fool around!" Zhou Leiyun said, "Now the public opinion is almost one-sided, and they are all supporting us! There is still a big question about whether they are deliberately falsifying! President Xia, I want the club to hold a news immediately. At the press conference, I strongly condemned the "Daily Sports" and strongly demanded that they apologize to the club, otherwise we reserve the right to sue because they have already caused a great negative impact on the club's reputation!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Now we are on the side of the victims, and we are on the side of justice. There is nothing wrong with doing this, and there is absolutely no one who can accuse us."

Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei turned around again and said, "However, I still recommend not to rush too much. It's the same sentence... Let the public opinion fly for a while!"

Zhou Leiyun was stunned for a moment, and asked inexplicably: "Mr. Xia, now the Daily Sports Daily has made it clear that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, they do not admit to making fake news. As for the flaws of the so-called audit and control, how can the public spray them? , none of them responded, this public opinion will always pass, and when we come out to hold a press conference, will it not be as popular as it is now?"

"The public opinion will naturally pass, and there is no time to maintain a high level of attention." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "But in my opinion, the public opinion this time is far from reaching its peak."

"Oh?" Zhou Leiyun asked with interest, "Xia always thinks there will be any new developments in the future?"

Xia Ruofei shrugged and said: "Sure! Now that the Daily Sports Daily has thrown out such a perfunctory statement, it is considered that they have given an explanation to the public; Pablo has also resigned in a sullen manner. If he is smart, he should not It will jump out at this time to recruit black people, but FC Barcelona can't pretend to be dead, right? They can pretend not to see the farce of the news media, but the core of this matter is the 'spray gate' incident at Camp Nou! Now that we have thrown out the evidence, it's already a real hammer! Can they pretend that nothing happened? Wouldn't that damage the image of the Cosmos team? So, Barcelona must have a crisis PR!"

"It makes sense..." Zhou Leiyun said thoughtfully.

"Also, don't forget that there is another key person in this incident!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's the so-called Barcelona annual ticket member Meyers. According to the "Daily Sports Daily", this Meyers belongs to Barcelona. Die-hard fan, lied in an interview to maintain the image of the home team. How credible is this explanation? Will Meyers accept such a statement? What is the real situation? No one is now clear."

Zhou Leiyun frowned slightly and said, "Even if he is a fake fan hired by Pablo, it is impossible for him to speak up now! One is to use money to help people concoct fake news, and the other is because he loves Barcelona so much that he does not hesitate to lie to defend Barcelona. As long as there is no problem with his brain, he will definitely accept the second argument!"

"However, now I don't even know if this Meyers is a Barcelona annual ticket member! That is to say, many situations are unknown." Xia Ruofei said, "Will Barcelona respond? When will they respond? How will they respond? What is Meyers' true identity? Is there a deal between him and Pablo? Is the top of the "Daily Sports" aware of it? None of these things are clear, so I still recommend our press conference Let the public opinion fly for a while! I believe that the reporters with great powers will persevere in digging, and then we may be able to figure out the truth without much effort!"

Zhou Leiyun said: "Mr. Xia, you mean, let's wait and see, see how Barcelona responds, and what happened to Meyers, and when these things are clarified, our press conference can be held more. Targeted, eh?"

"That's what it means!" Xia Ruofei said, "I don't think this time will be too long, it will be a day at most! If Barcelona is so inefficient, how can it be possible to operate as one of the best super clubs in the world?"

"Okay! Then I'll listen to you!" Zhou Leiyun said cheerfully.

Xia Ruofei went on to say: "In addition... When we hold a press conference, I personally attend!"

Zhou Leiyun couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xia, haven't you always wanted to keep a low profile? Why suddenly..."

Xia Ruofei grinned and said, "That's because I didn't want to cooperate with Pablo's hype before, but now he's hyping himself up, and his reputation is ruined. Naturally, he will beat the underdog! And I have another purpose for participating in the press conference. Then you'll know!"

As soon as Zhou Leiyun heard it, he knew that Xia Ruofei was going to announce something, and he was also curious and impatient, but Xia Ruofei didn't say it, and he couldn't follow it.

"Understood!" Zhou Leiyun said with a smile, "Then wait a day or two! I'll let them prepare in advance!"

"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said, "I have nothing to do today, Qingxue and Weiwei were a little tired yesterday, and they are going to rest in the hotel today."

"Then do you want to go out for a walk?" Zhou Leiyun smiled mysteriously and said, "I know that there are a few places in Barcelona that are very good! Many men linger! President Xia, should I take you to open a foreign meat shop?"

Xia Ruofei said: "I don't have that interest! You should keep the foreign meat as Mr. Zhou, and you can drive it yourself!"

Speaking of Kaiyang meat, Xia Ruofei couldn't help thinking of Monica.

Speaking of which, Spain is not far from Italy, and the actual distance is equivalent to the distance between the two provinces of China.

I haven't contacted Monica for a while, and I don't know how she is doing now? It must be quite busy! After all, he is now the head of the family...

"Mr. Xia! President Xia!"

Zhou Leiyun's voice woke Xia Ruofei from his imagination.

"Ah?" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted! Where did I just say?"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "You said that your two friends are not going out today, so they are resting in the hotel."

"Oh yes!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm fine, I've come to Barcelona more than once, and I've visited all the places I should visit... So today I want to just go to the training base! Join everyone Training, training, the right is to exercise!"

Zhou Leiyun was a little surprised and said, "Go to training?"

The training volume of professional teams is still quite large, especially clubs in the top European leagues. Because of the fast pace of the game and the intensity of confrontation, the requirements for physical fitness are also very high.

Who would go to practice and play by themselves?

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I'm just going to relax, don't you know my physical fitness? How tiring can the training in the team be? Besides, after the game that day, I haven't met those teammates, and there's nothing around today. Let's go and see everyone!"

Only then did Zhou Leiyun say: "So that's how it is! No problem! I'll ask the club to send a car to pick you up! But I won't accompany you to the training base today! There's a business entertainment today, the kind that can't be pushed away. …”

"Go with your own business!" Xia Ruofei said, "Don't let the club send a car, I want to go out for a walk by myself! I went for a walk by the way!"

"How about that..."

"That's it! The hotel is not far from the training base, so I just want to see the scenery!" Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Zhou, don't let anyone send a car! I'll be out of the hotel in a while, don't let me go. The driver fluttered.".

Hearing this, Zhou Leiyun had no choice but to say: "Well then... If you have anything or need, just call me in time!"

"Don't worry!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'm better at Spanish than you! I can't lose it!"
