Chapter 30: Like a fool
The results of Mr. Bonnetto's investigation ended up making Descartes laugh.
It was true that this incident was not directed against him in the first place.
Fontana came to Milan, Italy from Brazil at the age of 13 and became the world's top model at the age of 16.
Such a world-famous supermodel, of course, can't wait to dedicate himself to Descartes at the first meeting, and of course, there is no reason to deliberately frame him.
Fontana is targeting D&G, who signed an endorsement contract with Descartes.
She signed a five-year contract with Valentino at the age of 16, and during those five years, she was the focus of the Victoria's Secret runway and became a world-renowned supermodel, so when the contract expired, D&G made a generous move to recruit her.
However, after signing a three-year contract extension with D&G last year, Versace suddenly approached her and her agent, intending to hire her as his spokesperson at a higher price.
Faced with an aristocratic brand like Versace and the top presence in the luxury market, Fontana and her agent certainly didn't want to refuse, but D&G's tone was also very tough, and they used Fontana's three-year contract as a constraint to gather her request to end the contract early.
In the face of D&G's toughness, Fontana and her agent finally came up with this solution, using the male model's surname during the shooting of the advertisement to harass D&G in court, and at the same time demanded to terminate the endorsement contract with the other party and restore their freedom.
And Descartes just happened to be unlucky to become this "surname disturbed" male model.
Descartes had no idea that there would be such a bizarre inside story, and what made him even more angry was that as soon as Fontana and her agent had been used by him, D&G took him to court, demanding that he compensate for the physical and reputational damage caused by this incident.
The 6 million endorsement contract is naturally gone, but is threatened to lose a large amount of money, Descartes saw the darkness of this circle and the coldness of the surname for the first time, he asked Mr. Bonetto to actively prepare for the court with D&G, while preparing for the next Champions League quarter-final with Liverpool.
Descartes was put on the table, but he couldn't tell the reporter that he was being used because of his lust, and Fontana and her team of agents were indeed very well calculated, and at this time, no matter who the victim was, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, otherwise he would have to destroy his reputation before he could make the truth public.
In the end, under the mediation of Mr. Bonetto, Descartes chose to settle with D&G out of court, and he claimed that he would continue to endorse D&G for three years with an endorsement fee of 6 million, but in fact he could not receive this fee at all, but paid D&G as compensation, that is, he had to work hard for the Italian famous brand company for free for three years.
Descartes only felt that his heart was depressed and abnormal, and it stands to reason that he was the biggest victim, but the other two could openly say to the outside world that they had suffered losses, and only Descartes could not, if reporters asked him what he had suffered and why he had suffered losses, what should he say? Did I tell someone that I was going to have a one-night stand, but I fell for someone else's job? Or tell others that the female model invited by D&G has cheated herself, and the details of this matter are actually very complicated?
These are useless, this incident has taught him a huge lesson, not every peach blossom can be a spring breeze at will, if you want to take advantage, you have to be ready to pay the price.
Descartes only told his two bad friends Walcott and Diaby about this in his depression, but he was ridiculed by these two unscrupulous fellows, laughing at him for losing his wife and losing his troops this time, no one made it, and the money was lost, which was simply miserable.
Descartes beat the two fellows so badly for this, and then extorted a drink to soothe his wounded heart, and when Descartes left the bar, he didn't know how he got home.
It's just that when he woke up from alcohol the next morning, he found a delicate girl lying next to him, who looked like she had nothing to say, and her figure was also very strong.
"Hey, Theo, what's the matter with that woman, who sent me back last night?" Descartes looked a little angry on the phone, he had just suffered a woman's loss, wasn't he afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years?
Walcott's voice was full of ridicule: "Hey, Deska, don't panic, this woman is a tender model who has only recently come up, how is it, it tastes good, right?" I know you've definitely hated the model for the past two days, so I specially found you the best one, so that you can punish her well, haha, don't thank me, we are good brothers, wahahahaha! ”
For some reason, Descartes seemed to hear in his seemingly bold laughter a deceit called pimp.
But this woman ......
Descartes looked back and found that the woman had slept very soundly, and that the bed was in a mess, and at a glance he knew that although he had been drunk last night, he had done no less bad things, and since he had done it all, he ......
Descartes threw himself back into bed, and regardless of whether the woman was awake or not, he threw himself on top of her with a roar, and Walcott was right, he was indeed full of hatred for models now, and he needed to vent it. Although he didn't even know the woman's name, it didn't matter, since the woman had voluntarily returned here with him, she was obviously ready for it.
After venting those negative emotions on the young model, when Descartes reappeared at the Kearney base, his expression looked refreshed and his face was much more relaxed than when he first returned to the team.
Walcott deliberately ran to Descartes during training and asked lewdly, "How was that beautiful woman last night?" I'm reluctant to eat it myself, and it's said that it's not long after my debut, and it's still very pure. ”
"Innocence?" Descartes sneered, he was now full of disdain for those so-called models, if these women were pure, wouldn't his Angelie become a saint?
If it was really innocent, how could it be possible to spend the night in his house and leave without saying anything?
Descartes, of course, did not believe that these women would have a compassionate heart to comfort a frustrated person like him, and yesterday that woman took 5,000 euros from him, and as a model, she was even worth several times more than the average wandering warbler, so she dared to tell me about her innocence?
However, Descartes, who had finally vented some of his negative emotions, quickly put his energy back into training, and will soon face strong opponents Liverpool again, and now is not the time for him to hide in the corner and draw circles to curse the modeling world, what he needs is to recover quickly, show Wenger his performance in training matches, and then try to get a chance to play in the game against Liverpool.
Compared with some time ago, the appearance of the Arsenal players has been much better, and the players who can still play are actively showing their form on the training ground, although Galla and Toure still do not speak or cooperate, but the two have put all their attention on the game, and there is no more quarrel on the training ground.
Unconsciously, Wenger has walked to the edge of the field, he saw the players running the field, nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth curled a little, at this time, the main force next to him, Pat. Rice said to him with a sigh: "It's been a long time since I've seen the players have such fighting spirit, as if they came back to life overnight, I just can't figure it out, Descartes obviously did a good job in this matter, why did you punish him in the last game?" ”
Wenger sighed and said: "You are right, he did a good job, even beyond my imagination, but you must know that what he said is also very easy to offend people, if I don't beat him, there will be people who will be dissatisfied, and finally make this matter more complicated." ”
"Dissatisfied?" Pat. Rice glanced at the players on the field and found that no one had a grudge against Descartes, so he didn't understand what Wenger meant.
In fact, Wenger also knows that if it weren't for Descartes' words that stirred up the blood in the hearts of the Arsenal players, then the current situation of the team would still be that dying, he himself is not a manager who is good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the team, in this regard, he is compared with his old rival Ferguson.
This is also one of the important reasons why Manchester United, although there are always ups and downs, has always been able to stand, but Arsenal has rarely been in the wind and used to collapse.
So Descartes' words not only saved the game, but also saved Arsenal and him.
But at the same time, he kept thinking about the last sentence that Fabregas said before he walked out of the dressing room, and he couldn't guess what it meant, so he could only speculate that it was because Descartes said something that only captains could say, which made Fabregas feel dissatisfied, so he said it angrily.
If Arsene Wenger had known that Barcelona were now in private contact with Cesc Fabregas, he would probably have guessed that it was not because of his displeasure, but because he really felt that Descartes was more suitable to be Arsenal's captain than he was.
A person who has already made up his mind to leave will certainly no longer have the idea of fighting for power.
But the professor sees it as a hidden danger within the team: Descartes and Cesc Fabregas have shown signs of fighting for the ball on the pitch, and they have to fight for the right to speak off the pitch, is the team out of their control?
So Wenger had to punish Descartes, not because he was unhappy with him, but to make him understand that in the team, there are some things that cannot be said casually, even if they are right.
However, in the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup with Liverpool, Wenger did not intend to continue to refrigerate Descartes, the last game has proved that Arsenal and Liverpool are only between the two sides even if their morale is high, they have Fabregas, Liverpool has Gerrard, both teams can not easily overwhelm each other, if you want to go further in the Champions League, he must have more chips, and Descartes is undoubtedly enough to break the balance of the two sides of the chip.
On April 12th, Anfield, whose "You Never Walk Alone" sang, was transformed by the Reds fans into a red aquarium where all you could hear was hoarse shouts and earth-shattering cheers, and the 2007-2008 Champions League quarter-finals were played between Liverpool and Arsenal.
Four days ago, Liverpool snatched a draw at the Emirates Stadium, a week ago they also took a draw from there, on Arsenal turf, Liverpool managed to get out of the way, and now, it's time for those damned Arsenales to see the strength of our Reds! (To be continued.) )
