Chapter 110: Arrival in Paris
Subsequently, the "Milan Sports Newspaper" published the phone call records between the vice president of the Italian Football Federation, Marzzini, who refused to answer any questions in an interview, and Moggi could not speak, and the target of the whole incident is Moggi from now on, including the phone recording of his son Alexandre Moggie's GEA agent company who signed after intimidating the player.
According to the TV news, Italian football may be unveiling a considerable black curtain because of this incident.
It is also worth noting that the "Milan Sports Newspaper", which is controlled by Berlusconi, revealed this news, from another point of view, AC Milan may have nothing to do with the referee incident, and Inter Milan is a team that has repeatedly suffered from refereeing problems, so, according to the media, the goal of this explosive news is very clear, and now the so-called referee problems are all concentrated on one team: Juventus.
In fact, the Italian Football Federation's investigation began back in March, when a whistleblower in Turin provided two copies of Mogi's call records to Football Association officials. However, everything is going on in secret, but yesterday a number of Italian media made the matter public, and the Italian Football Federation had to immediately make a statement and officially announce that it would investigate Moggi and Juventus.
***********
With this investigation statement by the Italian Football Federation, Juventus FC is in a period of "press control" because of the cold war with the media after losing the league title before. Therefore, the club did not make a statement on this.
Only the 'client' – the Juventus general manager only said vaguely: "At the moment the club is still in a 'cold war' with the press, and I don't want to give any explanation. It's just that I can assure you that the sky hasn't fallen yet!"
Pairetto is not from Juventus, so he can speak, and he immediately jumps out to try to explain everything: "I have only one feeling when I see these news reports: sadness, because they are so far from the truth. I believe that none of these rumors or slanders can affect my good reputation. I was in contact with a lot of club officials over the years because of my responsibilities, but it's safe to say that I never did anything that was contrary to my professional ethics. ”
Just 12 hours after the media broke the news, the Italian media immediately followed up with reports that Moggi would lose his job as general manager of Juventus due to the "telephone interception" incident and would be replaced by former AS general manager of AS Roma general manager Frank Baltini, who had a two-year happy experience with Fabio Capello in Rome and was more than capable of succeeding Mogui as the head of Juventus.
***********
Things are moving far faster and more violently than the media predicted.
A day later, Carraro, the president of the Italian Football Federation, resigned, and the vice-president Marzzini subsequently resigned, and the four major prosecutors' offices of Naples, Rome and Turin announced the start of the investigation.
Eight hours later, Juventus issued an official statement announcing the collective resignation of the Juventus board of directors.
Three hours later, DeSantis, the referee in question, was declared disqualified from officiating the World Cup. The investigation was fully rolled out, and it was rumored that many teams, including AC Milan and Fiorentina, were suspected of fake play, and Buffon was also involved in a gambling scandal.
A day later, Moggi announced his retirement from football.
Three hours later, the chairman of the Italian referees' committee, Ranese, was disgraced.
The 'phonegate' incident, which had a far-reaching impact on Italian football, broke out in full swing.
***********
Li Ang ignored the complication of the 'phone gate', and this matter was not something that he could participate in as a head coach, and he was even more reluctant to touch it.
The 2005/2006 Serie A season has come to an end, and Inter Milan will now be in the Champions League final against Barcelona at the Stade de France in Paris, France, four days later.
Originally, according to the plan, Inter Milan would leave for Paris a day later, but now that the whole of Italy was panicked by the 'phonegate' time, Leon simply led the team to Paris a day earlier, away from the land of right and wrong, and so as not to let the players be disturbed by public opinion.
For the entire club at Inter Milan, the Champions League final against Barcelona is the most important thing at the moment.
Inter Milan owner Moratti, club president Facchetti and club manager Ori Ori all left for Paris with the team.
And because Inter Milan left for Paris a day early, the plan was disrupted, and Inter Milan owner Moratti did his best to use his connections to help the Inter Milan team get accommodation and training arrangements, and do all the escort work.
Inter Milan contacted Paris Saint-Germain to secure access to PSG's training grounds, which allow players to use PSG's training grounds for the two days leading up to the final.
***********
For Inter Milan to arrive in Paris a day early, Catalonia naturally reacted.
In an interview with the media, Rijkaard was asked what he thought about the matter, saying, "[Inter] left for Paris early? Maybe they were a little too nervous, I don't think a day earlier would make a difference." ”
Obviously, Rijkaard has something to say that Inter are doing useless work and are a little scared of Barcelona.
After Leon led Sporting Gijon to steal the La Liga title at the end of last season, Rijkaard had a hard time, and now, a year later, he led Barcelona to finally win the La Liga title a year late, and Rijkaard finally raised his eyebrows.
However, the Madrid media ridiculed Barcelona and Rijkaard at this time, ridiculing Rijkaard as Leon's defeated men.
In this regard, although the Catalan media countered that it was as if Real Madrid had not been beaten by Leon.
Then, the two giants were more embarrassed, because they realized that they were both defeated under Li Ang, which was really nothing to show off.
Although the Madrid media has not talked about it since, Rijkaard still has a thorn in his heart that will stay with the Dutch coach unless he can lead the team to beat Leon's side.
Therefore, Rijkaard, who has always been good-tempered, was also thorny in his words at this time, and first attacked Leon.
"We are already one step ahead of Barcelona. In response to Rijkaard's remarks, Leon responded.
Barcelona had not yet arrived in Paris, and with three days to go before the game, the psychological battle between Rijkaard and Leon, Barcelona and Inter Milan had already begun.
