Chapter 431 There Is a Shady Scene! [The Fifth Update, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]
"Which one?"
"You may not remember me, hehe, but I tell you, the referee in Amsterdam two weeks later was Mayer, and that was a good referee..."
"Mayer? Oh, yes, a good referee indeed, and I won't forget you when we come back from Holland."
This conversation appeared in Gazzetta dello Sport on May 4 and quickly spread around the world.
The two protagonists in the dialogue are Moggi, the general manager of Juventus, and Pairetto, the current vice-chairman of the UEFA Referee Committee, and the content of the dialogue points to the Champions League in September 2004. group matches.
Two weeks after the conversation, in the first round of Group C of the Champions League, Ajax lost 0-1 at home to Juventus.
When Yang Yang saw this report, he was stunned.
What exactly is going on?
"Moggi manipulates the referee? Is it even a UEFA referee?"
Yang Yang had a creepy feeling.
This is really creepy!
Referees have always played a controversial role in football games, especially in the past few years, as Mourinho bombarded referees, more and more people began to question the justice of referees.
Yang Yang himself has doubts many times, but he is more willing to believe that this is a mistake, not a shady story.
But now, Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport has ruthlessly ripped all this apart, exposing it naked in front of everyone, so that everyone can see the dialogue between Moggi and the vice-chairman of the UEFA referee committee.
If it's just Gazzetta dello Sport, that's fine.
Immediately after that, the La Repubblica in Rome also quickly carried the headline [Italian football storm is coming, Moggi assigns referees to favor Juventus], the coverage is far wider than Gazzetta dello Sport, and the content disclosed is more exciting, but more Still in Serie A.
Among them, there are many reports pointing the finger at the GEA brokerage company run by Moji's son, Moji.
...
"It's too scary, isn't it?"
"It turns out that there is really a shady scene in the referee world!"
"Let me just say, the referee of last year's game was weird. It turned out that Juventus had taken care of it before the game."
"It's so dark that we went to the UEFA Cup last year!"
"Damn it, this is definitely a big shady story, and it must be investigated to the end."
In the player rest area of De Tokmost, the Ajax players gathered around the computer to watch the news on the Internet. All of them looked like they were filled with righteous indignation, because Ajak was included in the first batch of revelations. That Champions League game last year.
Yang Yang wasn't there at the time, so he went back to participate in the Asian Youth Championship, so he didn't have much impression.
"This is too outrageous, isn't it?" Yang Yang was also quite indignant.
Last season, the main reason why Ajax went to play the UEFA Cup was that they did not play well in the first two rounds of the group stage.
Of course, this cannot be completely shied away from the referee. After all, both sides tried their best to fight, and Juventus was still the team with the best chance of winning.
But even so, after the referee problem broke out, the spearhead naturally pointed to the other side.
"What is this all about?"
Everyone shook their heads.
No one thought that such a scandal would suddenly break out. For the Serie A league, it was definitely a big scandal that broke the sky, even if the Italian Football Association wanted to cover it up.
"Look again, more and more media are breaking the news, and the target is not only Juventus, but also other teams. This wave may involve many Serie A teams. This is simply to completely destroy the Serie A league. The rhythm is broken."
Ajax was also stunned.
If only the Serie A media broke the news, it can also be said to be a rumor, but if so many media broke the news at the same time, and it is well-founded, then there must be a problem.
Yang Yang calmed down quickly, he was not as excited as his teammates.
After all, it's been a long time since last season's game. Even if Moggi's manipulation of the referee is finally implemented, it will not be of any benefit to Ajax. After all, there is no way to go back and make up for the game.
On the contrary, it is the impact of this news, especially Ibrahimovic who is at Juventus.
As soon as Yang Yang thought of this, he immediately walked out of the players' rest area, found a secluded place, and called the Swedish center.
"Zlatan."
"Hey, buddy." Ibrahimovic on the phone also sounded a little irritable.
"What's going on? Is the news published in the newspaper true? I heard that there is a recording." Yang Yang asked with concern.
Ibrahimovic looked irritable on the phone and sighed heavily, "I don't know, I don't know what's going on at all, now the team is messing around everywhere, there is no one at all Steward, who knows what's going on?"
"Where's Moji?"
"I haven't seen anyone for many days. Not only me, Mino has also been looking for him. I haven't seen anyone for at least half a month."
"why?"
"I don't know either!" The Swedish center's voice sounded anxious and confused, "You know, buddy, I'm talking to Juventus about a contract extension, and Mino and I talked to Moggi before, and he agreed to renew my contract with me. , let's prepare a contract, but I haven't seen anyone for several days, who knows where he died?"
"Minuo has been contacting him, but this guy said he was traveling, he said he was in a meeting, he was doing this, and he was doing that. God knows where he is? Which one is true and which one is false?"
Although across the phone, Yang Yang could feel Ibrahimovic's anxiety at this moment.
If such a thing happens to the core boss of the club, God knows what will happen next?
Manipulating the referee, that's not a minor crime, or even serious, Juventus will be suspended.
"Right now, the entire training base and the club's office are in chaos. It feels like everyone is very weird. It's not clear who's words are credible and who's words are not, and it's not clear what happened."
Yang Yang can understand his mood at this moment, "For now, the main thing is to control the referee."
"Come on!" The Swedish center looked impatient. "With our strength and Capello's coaching ability, we need to control the referee? Which Serie A team can do better than us?"
The Swedish center is obviously not convinced by this reason, which is in line with his character all along.
He has never been pretentious.
Yang Yang couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
"I feel like this has something to do with Rapp Elkann's previous scandal."
"Rapp Elkann?" Yang Yang was a little strange.
Isn't it Moji's thing?
What's up with Rapp Elkann again?
"He is the third generation of the Agnelli family of the Fiat Group. He used to be a personal assistant to US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. He is known as the man who knows how to dress best in the world. There was a scandal before, saying that he smoked Overdoses of cocaine and sex with transgender prostitutes once dominated the front pages of the Italian media.”
"Though things calmed down quickly and it didn't spread, everything seemed to go badly since then, but Rapp Elkann has nothing to do with Juventus, he also Not involved in the specific management of the team.”
At the end of the day, Zlatan Ibrahimovic himself was in a mess.
"Anyway, the whole thing is very strange, and none of us can figure it out."
Yang Yang nodded, "Where's Mino?"
"After he received the news, he flew to Turin as soon as possible, and now he is running outside for news, but he asked me to plan for the worst. It seems that things are not going well."
"Be careful yourself, be strong, and leave Juventus if you can't do it. Helena is pregnant and she needs you." Yang Yang comforted and reminded.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Helena have been together for three years, and their first child will be born in September. Best friends including Yang Yang, Maxwell and Fermaelen are very happy for him.
In the past season, Ibrahimovic has also performed very well in Juventus and has a bright future, but no one expected that such a change would happen suddenly, which was really unexpected.
"Don't worry, I know." Ibrahimovic said heavily.
"If you need anything, feel free to contact me as long as I can help."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
After the two said goodbye to each other, Yang Yang hung up the phone with mixed feelings in his heart.
He's a bystander in this, but his best friend is a victim of it.
Regardless of whether Moggi manipulated the referee or not, as a Juventus player, Ibrahimovic suffered for no reason.
More importantly, Helena will give birth in September. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable for the Swedish center to go through such a thing at this time, but Yang Yang can't help him much, so he can only wish him good luck.

About Moji's manipulation of the referee, more and more violent information was soon revealed.
The Italian media also quickly gave him a code name, Telmen.
The Italian Football Association responded very quickly and announced the establishment of an investigation team on the same day to investigate the incident.
The next day, major Italian media announced some referees and Football Association officials involved in the telephone incident, including some well-known international referees and key members of the Football Association.
Then, the Naples Prosecutor's Office in southern Italy announced its involvement in the telephone door incident, investigating Moggi's alleged illegal acts of football fraud, which also represented the strong intervention of the Italian government.
The whole thing has developed to the present, which has long gone beyond the scope of football, but has evolved into a vigorous anti-football corruption incident in Italy, and this is not the first time in Italian football.
But this time Moji, who was at the core of the whirlpool, obviously had received the news long before the media broke the news, and had long since disappeared, and no one could contact him.
And no one knows what will happen next to this major event that shocked the world.
Yang Yang also quickly picked up his mood, because Ajax soon ushered in the Dutch Cup final.
