In view of the uncalm and violent behaviour of the two teams in this match, the Italian Football Federation decided to disqualify both teams from the final, and the League Cup will be decided by the two teams that were eliminated in the semi-finals, and the players of both teams and the staff involved in the brawl have been punished accordingly:

The first to punch, P. Tarantino, was banned from participating in any football match organized by the Italian Football Federation for one year because of his provocation and serious violence, which means that he will not be able to contact any official football match for one year, while the other players involved in the brawl were also suspended according to the referee's record report, and Pavia coach Donatoni and assistant coach Rogge on the sidelines were suspended for 3 and 13 games respectively for insulting the referee and participating in the brawl, and the Pavia club was fined 50,000 euros.

Don't underestimate the 50,000 euros, for those giants it is just the weekly salary of a star, but for Pavia, it could be a winning bonus for the whole team.

On the other side of the game, Banniyundu Club, because the fourth official's game report determined that they had malicious injury fouls in the game, and under the strong pressure of public opinion, the Italian Football Federation had to make a heavy sentence: Banniyundu Club was fined 150,000 euros and banned from playing 5 games for home matches, coach Novellino was sentenced to a six-month suspension for allegedly instigating players to use violence against opposing players, and the player who maliciously fouled Descartes was suspended for 6 games, In addition, the players and staff involved in the brawl were also punished with suspensions of varying lengths.

In a word, the two clubs not only suffered a big loss this time, but also lost the championship trophy in their hands, which is simply a heavy loss, and it is unbearable to see.

And the crucifixion of the two clubs turned into a carnival for the media.

How many years has it been since there has been such a hot scene in Italian football? Not to mention Serie C, even Serie A is not so lively! So the media worked at full speed, working overtime to print the news about the game, and then drove to the newspaper kiosks on the streets, waiting for the newspapers to exchange them for white lira.

The focus of the media was of course on the brawl, but there were also plenty of media critics of Beniyundo's rough football, noting that the scars on Descartes' legs were shocking when he was substituted.

Was Descartes injured? Is his injury serious? Will this injury affect his football career for the rest of his life? After the reporters hyped up the melee between the ten thousand and two teams, they began to focus on Descartes.

You know, after years of tireless media reports, Descartes is still galloping on the football field despite his illness, which has become an inspirational example for the entire Italian teenagers, but at the same time, he has also left the impression of "glass man" to many people. Although he hasn't suffered any major injuries so far, his physical problems are a bump in the minds of all Italians, and the slightest bit of physical glitch will make it seem as if his football career will be affected as well.

This impression is not only shared by the general public, but also by many clubs, and one of the reasons why other teams except Milan have dropped their offers for Descartes this season.

However, Descartes quickly clarified his injury in front of the media, according to the hospital's diagnosis, although his wound looked scary, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, but the muscle in the back of the calf was torn, which would not affect his motor function, and he could gradually recover after two or three weeks of recuperation.

This is the only good news for Pavia FC, as long as Descartes is okay, his transfer will not be bothered, and Pavia will have the money to go to Group A next season.

It's just that there are still 4 rounds of the league, but Pavia has lost more than half of the main players and managers, how should they play in the next games?

The result did not come as a surprise, as Pavia suffered four consecutive defeats in the next league and dropped to fifth place in the table, just in time to secure a place in the play-offs.

The successive comebacks of Donatoni and Descartes have also given the team a little more certainty in the play-offs, and whether to stay in Group B and rice soup or go to Group A for porridge next season depends on the three rounds of the play-offs.

However, in June, the media focus was not on the teams participating in the promotion play-offs, or even on any of the big clubs, because a big basket was punctured, and all the media rushed to press it.

The "phonegate" incident in Serie A broke out!

On May 4, 2006, "Milan Sport" suddenly reported the recording of the phone call between Juventus general manager Moggi and the Serie A referee designator, and the important content of the recording was the call record between Moggi and the Serie A referee designator Paireto after Moggi became general manager in 04.

On May 8, the president of the Football Association, Carraro, resigned, and the vice president Marzzini followed, and the four major prosecutors' offices of Naples, Rome, and Turin began to intervene in the investigation.

On May 11, Juventus officially announced the collective resignation of the club's board of directors.

On May 12, the investigation was in full swing, with Milan, Fiorentina and other teams involved in match-fixing cases, and Gianluigi Buffon was also involved in a gambling scandal.

On May 16, the Italian Olympic Committee appointed Rossi as the president of the Italian Football Federation and temporarily entrusted the Football Association.

On June 22, the Italian Football Federation announced the preliminary investigation results, Juve, Lazio, Fiorentina three clubs were indicted, and asked for relegation, while depriving Juventus of the Serie A championship trophy in the past two years.

On June 27, the Italian Football Federation held a trial of the case.

……

The "phonegate" incident lasted until November 9, and the final judgment was that Juventus, Purple Lily, and Lazio were relegated, and Milan was deducted 15 points from next season's league points and 30 points from this season's league points.

Lazio and other clubs were not satisfied, so they appealed to the Supreme Court, and after the final ruling, Lazio and Fiorentina were able to retain their Serie A places, but were deducted 7 and 15 points respectively to participate in next season's Serie A, while Milan was deducted 8 points.

Under the influence of the vigorous "phonegate" incident, even the news of the Italian national team's participation in the 2006 World Cup in Germany has become less important. In the Italian national team, there are 9 players from clubs suspected of match-fixing, among which the main international Buffon is the most famous.

However, when reporters interviewed these members of the national team, the questions they asked were not their expectations and views on the World Cup at all, but their understanding and feelings about the "phonegate" incident.

Of course, no one would have thought that this mourning army would burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness, they actually fought all the way to the end in the World Cup, and defeated the old enemy Zidane and his French team through Materazzi's crow's beak, and successfully crowned the world champion.

And that's all for later.

Because of the brawl in the League Cup and the "phonegate" that broke out later, until the World Cup, the media was completely in a state of carnival, so at this time, few people noticed that there was a young man in the squad of the Italian national team.

Descartes. Mondillo.

Descartes didn't understand why Mr. Lippi would take him to Germany, even the media didn't quite understand, although Descartes was a household name in Italy, but after all, he was only 17 years old, and he only participated in the third division, Lippi had no reason to rush him to Germany, maybe in another four years, when he gained a foothold in other giants, it would be a better choice to bring him to the World Cup.

However, in the summer when the media were too busy, Mr. Lippi took Descartes to Germany was just an inconspicuous piece of news, and even the performance of the Italian national team in the World Cup was not the most important, and the most important thing was the Italian Football Federation's various investigations and interrogations of the "Phonegate" incident.

So in the midst of the chaos, Descartes arrived at the Corvicciano National Training Base in a daze, and became teammates with the famous stars.

Gianluigi Buffon, De Rossi, Cannavaro, Pirlo, Piero, Nesta, Inzaghi...... The owners of these fantastic names now appeared in front of him, and Descartes felt that his eyes were not enough, and most of the stars here were seeing real people for the first time, and he had a lot to say to them, but he couldn't say anything.

And a large number of these stars are now caught up in the "phonegate" troubles, so they don't have the heart to joke with the newcomers, so most of them just nod kindly to Descartes and walk away with a heavy heart.

Until Descartes met Mr. Lippi, the coach of the Italian national team.

Lippi is known as the "Silver Fox" because of his wise eyes and silver white hair, his image is always gentle and unhurried, you can't see him panicked at any time, he seems to be like a wise man on the football field, he can stay calm in any situation.

This is also the biggest name Descartes has ever seen as a manager.

Seeing Mr. Lippi, Descartes stepped forward and greeted him with restraint and nervousness: "Hello Mr. Lippi, I am Descartes. Mondillo, I'm here to report today. ”

Lippi looked at Descartes' shy face, smiled easily, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay boy, don't be nervous, you are now a member of the national team, you should be proud and happy." By the way, do you know all your teammates? ”

Descartes nodded hurriedly, although he had never met those people, but each of them had appeared on television countless times, and of course he knew all of them.

But people don't necessarily recognize him.

Lippi nodded, and then said gently to Descartes: "I know you must be wondering why I recruited you into the national team, come here, I will explain it to you." ”

Descartes leaned over, and Lippi took his shoulders around him and said to the other players who were preparing for the event on the pitch: "You look at our players, Del (Piero) is 32 years old, Alessandro (Nesta) is 30 years old, Pippo (Inzaghi) is 33 years old, Marco (Materazzi) is 33 years old, Francisco (Totti) is 30 years old, this is our central axis, these people can still play for their country in this World Cup, but in the next World Cup, most of them will probably have retired from the national team." I have to prepare for the future of Italy, and you are the one I am most optimistic about. ”

A wave of pride surged into Descartes' heart, and even Mr. Lippi said that he was optimistic about himself, how could Descartes not be proud and proud of it.

But Mr. Lippi's next words quickly calmed him down.

"But I want to say first, Deska, I'm very optimistic about you, but not now, I'm recruiting you into the national team this time to familiarize you with the atmosphere of the World Series, and you're probably not going to get a minute of playing time, you have to be mentally prepared, understand?"

Descartes naturally felt very disappointed in his heart, but he did not express this expression, but said firmly to Mr. Lippi: "Don't worry, Mr. Lippi, I know what to do. ”

Lippi nodded, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "That's good, don't be disappointed, you are the future of Italy, I believe in you." Okay, let's go practice with your teammates first, and we'll be leaving for Germany soon. ”

Descartes' first national team career finally began quietly in the midst of a chaotic noise.
