Chapter 15 Protect them like national treasures

The lethal tactics used by Benny Yundu in this game were also criticized by many commentators after the game, who believed that the so-called so-called so-called by Banny Yundu players had gone beyond the scope of foul tactics and directly evolved into violence on the court.

Because Descartes did something that players don't usually do.

He took off his shirt in the reporters' interview area and asked the reporters to take pictures of the scars on his body.

From the pictures taken by the reporters, it can be clearly seen that Descartes's ribs and abdomen are full of bruises or purple marks, some of which are caused by mutual impacts, and some of which are deliberately hit by Beneyundu's players with elbows and other parts.

His legs weren't much better, there were several obvious torn hangings on the back of his stockings, and after unfastening the shin guards, he could still see blue and red marks on his calf bones.

According to a Lombardy Cavalry reporter at the scene, when he saw the scars on Descartes' body at the scene, he thought he had just returned from a WBC (World Lightweight Championship).

It's simply a wound that can only be inflicted by the use of martial arts.

As a result, the Benny Yundu Club was given the nickname of "Martial Arts Academy".

In response to such a bad foul by Benniyundu Club, the media have given strong criticism.

"This is the worst game I've ever seen, the referee's indulgence in foul behaviour is nothing short of a disaster, and if that had happened in Serie A, I'm sure the fans would have jumped out of the stands and scuffled with the brutal executioners," wrote Sport journalist Kaudes. ”

"Torino Sport" also commented on the matter: "As far as we know, the referee on duty in this game Bernani blew the whistle softly, but we did not expect him to watch a murder happen in front of his eyes and did not do anything, Descartes was violated 36 times in this game, of which more than 20 were serious physical contact, but Bernani only took out two yellow cards and one red card, one of which was given to the head coach of the home team, Mr. Donatoni, It's hard to understand his criteria, but at the same time we have to seriously criticize Beniyundo's head coach Novellino, and we believe that if it weren't for his instructions, Beniyundu's players would not have used such lethal tactics, they weren't playing at all, their goal was to kill Descartes and cause Pavia to die a natural death. ”

The report reached the ears of Beniyundo's head coach Novellino, who immediately retorted in the newspaper: "They're all talking nonsense, I have to make it clear to the public, I never asked my players to use lethal tactics against Descartes, I think my players have always used normal tactics on the field, it's just that Descartes' body is too thin, that's why he looks very hurt, I can swear my players play like this in any other game, They had absolutely no intention of harming a player's body. ”

Of course, this statement did not convince the majority of the audience that as the final of the League Cup, the game was broadcast live, and at least more than 100,000 fans watched the actions of Beneyundo's players in front of the television, and the scars on Descartes' body were a silent indictment of them.

This is a fact that cannot be argued.

What no one expected was that with the hype of this matter in many media, even the Barcelona club in Spain came to intervene.

It turned out to be after a La Liga match, reporters asked Barcelona coach Rijkaard at the press conference what he thought of the game, and the pigtail coach suddenly went crazy at the press conference, saying that the opposing players were rough and dangerous against Ronaldinho's defense, and he also mentioned the first leg of the League Cup final in Italy: "I think these players who bring beauty to the fans deserve some special care, like our Ronaldinho, and the talented teenager Descartes in Italy, What they have done on the pitch this week has worried me a lot, and I am afraid that the players with great skills will be subjected to more and more violent aggression until they are afraid to do any more technical moves on the pitch, and I think this is the erasure of football, an extremely serious act of violence! ”

Mr. Rijkaard's righteous indignation immediately brought the matter to the forefront.

Because he actually pushed Descartes to the same height as Ronaldinho, and he can casually say Descartes' games, which also shows that Barcelona Club has always paid attention to Descartes.

What is it? This is news, an opportunity for hype, and a weight for a raise!

As a result, the media around the world, whether in Italy or Spain, have all made serious complaints about the violence on the pitch.

One of the most radical examples, Sky Sports, has called on the political authorities to "intervene directly in the investigation of this game with judicial involvement, and we must protect the country's best young players and not let them be artificially destroyed in the process of growing up." ”

And the "Telemail" also said: "Although Novelino did not admit that it was he who instructed his players to treat Descartes roughly, but all the spectators can see that their actions in this game are simply unrepresented, we should ask the Football Association Disciplinary Committee to immediately investigate this game, Descartes is the core player of the Italian national junior team, and one of the pillars of the future of the national team, we can't let him be ruined under the violence on the pitch like this, treat special talents, we must have special protection!" ”

This of course upset Beniyundo and Mr. Novellino and wrote a retort in the local newspaper: "I have seen a series of recent negative reports about our club, and I think they are all very irresponsible and false accusations against Beniyundu and myself and my players, football is a man's sport, he embodies blood and passion, and if they feel they can't afford to lose, it's better not to be on the pitch." Descartes was indeed a genius, but so what? Geniuses need special protection, do I want my players to forbid any physical contact with him on the pitch? We don't mean to hurt anyone, but my players did everything they could to win the game, I don't think they did anything wrong, these reports are all about my players and myself, and I reserve the right to prosecute these newspapers and magazines! ”

And Benny Yundu's main defender, Xannis Kaji, was even more dismissive of the media reports: "I've been playing on the court for more than 11 years, and I have more scars on my body than that little guy's hair, according to you, can I file murder charges against at least 10,000 people?" ”

The tough answers of Mr. Novellino and Shaniscarge did not silence the media, but only aroused their enthusiasm.

You know, what do newspapers and magazines sell? What sells is controversy! As long as there is controversy, there will be people interested, some people will be interested, of course there will be sales, it's okay if you don't bark, once you return your mouth, those reporters are not like grasshoppers who meet their thighs and pounce and bite them?

As a result, the media came up with a lot of new rebuttal ideas.

"Milan Sport" directly responded with a full page of pictures, they made a continuous picture of the rough foul of Beniyundo players against Descartes during the game, and then told the audience: "Look, this is what Mr. Novellino called 'normal body contact', Descartes's calf was almost shoveled and deformed, if there is no other half of the picture, we would even think that he was hit by a Ferrari, oh my God, it turns out that Beniyundo's players are playing like this" Kung Fu Football', we can't imagine that such a powerful team is still fighting in the Serie C League, Milan, Juventus, Inter, all the Serie A giants, you have to be careful, a super team is about to rise in Italian football, please watch the calves of your players, go and buy them insurance. ”

Sky Sports reporters were even more cunning, pretending that a member of the Football Association's disciplinary committee had called a player from the club and asked him to explain whether Beniyundu's lethal tactics were instructed by Mr. Novellino.

Then Sky Sports reporters released the recording of the phone call to the outside world, which immediately caused a national uproar.

Mr. Novellino may not be able to escape the involvement in this matter.

When this matter was hyped to the hottest, the Football Association finally reacted to the game, they announced that they would set up a special investigation team to investigate the rough fouls of the players of the Beniyundu club in this game, and if it was found that someone did deliberately instruct them to harm the body of the opposing player, the Beniyundu club and the mastermind of this matter will be punished very severely.

Now it's a big deal!

Countless paparazzi were moved by the news, and they stood outside the gates of Beniyundo's club, by the side of the head coach, Mr. Novelino, and at the door of every player on this team, tirelessly asking them for their opinion on the matter, and constantly trying to lure them into telling the truth of the matter, speculating whether they had really deliberately committed a violent foul on Descartes' body.

This made the whole of the Banniyundu club feel unbearable, and several low-level employees resigned directly, and the senior management of Banniyundu had to make an urgent discussion about the matter.

In the office of the president of the club, their owner, Mr. Levy, is discussing something with the team's head coach, Novelino.

"Mr. Walter, you told me it was okay to do this, but if you look at it now, those reporters are biting us like mad dogs, and even the Football Association is starting to intervene, what should we do now?" Mr. Levy was a shrewd Jewish businessman, but his ancestors had already been doing business in Italy, so he was also half Italian.

As a football fan, he has poured a lot of effort into this club, not only investing in a number of powerful players, but also bringing in Walter from Serie B. Mr. Novelino coached and showed his great ambition for the club.

But now the club has fallen into the rumors of "stadium violence", and the Football Association has personally come forward to investigate, once it is found that the club will be heavily fined, his troubles are of course conceivable.

And Novelino, who was sitting opposite him, was an old god at this time, as an old coach who had been rolling in Italian football for many years, what kind of wind and waves had he not seen? He calmly said to Levy: "Mr. President, don't worry, as long as the club can keep its mouth shut, the Football Association will not be able to find any clues in this matter, and in the end, it will not be able to stop it." The priority is to find a way to cope with the second leg and we have come to this point, this title is impossible to give up, I think the team played very well in the first leg, we just need to strengthen the counter-attack at home and we can definitely win against Pavia. ”

"Stepping up?" When Levy heard this sensitive word, he had some bad premonitions in his heart, and asked in fear: "You don't want the players to move bigger, do you?" ”

"Of course, why not?" Novelino looked very confident, and slowly analyzed for Mr. Lie: "As you can see, we were very successful in restricting that little star in the first leg, and the goal we conceded was just an accident, and I believe he will never score such a goal again." The next leg will be our home stadium, we have home advantage, the fans on the sidelines will cheer us on, and the referee's whistle is loose, even if our action is a little more magnified, he will not blow us for a foul, this is a great opportunity, we just want to show those so-called geniuses, although Benny Yundu has no genius, but we are the final winners! ”

Mr. Levy asked, still with some concern, "Are you sure it's okay to do this?" ”

Novelino patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help the club win this championship back!" ”

Before the start of the second meeting between the two sides, the Italian Football Federation finally released the results of their investigation into the last match, given that the players and staff of the Baniyundu club were very consistent, the Football Association had no evidence to prove that they deliberately injured the body of the opposing player in the last game, so even if the media was noisy, the Football Association finally made the decision that the Banniyundu club was innocent.

This decision caused an uproar in the media, with some reports even claiming that "the Italian Football Federation is conniving at the birth of a murder case", but no matter how hard the media calls, the Italian Football Federation is sometimes as magical as the "relevant departments" of the Celestial Empire, they are there when you are fine, and you can't find them when you have something.

With the discontent of the media and the attention of almost half the world's media, the second leg of the Serie C League Cup final, which was unexpectedly hyped, finally kicked off again at the Stadio Santo Colombo, the home of Beniyundo.
