CHAPTER XXXV. A Guest in Friuli - After the Bus Incident

The provocative graffiti of Atalanta's team bus in Udine by extreme fans quickly reached the top brass of both clubs. Not long after the pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info, Chen Fei received a call from Laura:

"Big bad, what are you doing? Don't think I don't know why people do this! What are you doing to provoke Udinese! Laura also reprimanded Chen Fei as soon as she came up.

"I just wanted to play psychological warfare with them and break their morale, and I really didn't expect it to develop like this."

"Then you can also change teams and play like this! Uncle Pozzo has a great relationship with our family! How do you make my uncle and I face Uncle Pozzo? ”

Chen Fei was embarrassed at this time, he really didn't consider the personal relationship between the Perkasi family and the Pozo family. After all, they are almost people in the same circle, and if they don't look up and look down, they will inevitably take pictures in the mall. "Oh Laura, I really didn't expect it... I'm going to have to help me settle that Pozo, and our club had better issue an official proclamation condemning this extreme act. It doesn't matter if such a thing is so embarrassing in China, I'm afraid that some extreme fans will learn it and bring it to the European arena, and it will not only be the club that will be lost, but even the image of Serie A may not be preserved. ”

"Humph! You still know! Okay, let's find a way for our uncle and nephew to end it for you! You give me a memory, choose a good person for me before playing like this, without my consent, if you dare to play like this, I will peel your skin! Got it, big bad? ”

"Okay, I know, next time I will definitely ask my aunt and grandmother for instructions, okay?"

"That's pretty much it! I've booked a train ticket two hours later, and I'll come to Udine to keep an eye on you, lest you do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, it's your first away game in charge, so I'm here to see how you're doing. ”

Laura is coming to Udine, which makes Chen Fei feel reassured. With her in many things, Chen Fei is really relieved.

As soon as he hung up Laura's phone, Percassi's call came again: "Chen, what are you doing?" It's okay, it's not appropriate for you to expose other people's shortcomings, right? It's not right for other fans to spray our buses, but don't think I don't know what you think. Old man, I have been up and down in the sea for half my life, haven't I seen more than you? Chen Fei was a little disdainful of this, after all, before the crossing, he was actually not much younger than Percassi, but he didn't dare to show it after all, so he had to listen silently, "Laura has already bought a ticket to Udine, I'll help you get it over there this time." I'm going to join Pozzo in issuing a proclamation condemning extreme fan behavior, but I think Pozzo will ask you to moderate your rhetoric. If that's the case, I don't think you have the right to refuse. You're still too young ... Before you play like this next time, you must pick good people, don't make it difficult for us... ”

"Yes, yes, what my uncle taught me is, I just apologize, and I will pay attention to it in the future." After being splashed with cold water by Laura, Chen Fei already knew that it was impossible for the situation to develop in the direction he originally imagined, so he had to agree to Perkassi's request. Fortunately, there are no major grievances between the two clubs, and it will not cause the two clubs to fight frantically because of Chen Fei's words. It is undeniable that there are so few extreme fans in any corner of the world, and these fans are actually quite a headache for the club. Although Chen Fei angered those extreme fans, he also believed that although many normal fans were dissatisfied, if his remarks could be eased a little, there should not be much of a problem.

"Alright then, I'll go to Udine tomorrow, I'll see why you say you can kill Udine."

At this time, Chen Fei felt more and more that Yali Mountain was bigger. The current situation is really rushing ducks to the shelves, but what's the harm in challenging yourself?

Hanging up Perkasi's phone, the vehicle from the Udine police station also arrived at the scene. They took photographs at the scene for evidence and then conducted routine questioning of the coaching staff and some of the players. At this time, the appearance of a mysterious figure makes the situation delicate again!

This person is none other than Pozzo, the president of the Udinese club!

However, Pozzo himself did not often break the news in front of the media like Palermo's Zandazui and Napoli's De Laurentiis, so Chen Fei did not recognize him immediately. However, the chief of the Udine police department, who came with him, recognized Pozzo first: "Mr. Pozo, why are you here?" ”

"Why, when something so big happened, shouldn't I come? Anyway, it's our extreme fans who did it, I can't ignore it, otherwise everyone thinks that I, Udinese, specialize in this kind of extremist! ”

Chen Fei saw that Pozo himself came forward, and he was also very guilty: "Mr. Pozo... ”

"Alright, Chen, just call me Uncle Pozzo like Laura. Laura and I mentioned you, and she likes you so much! But I didn't expect that the first thing you did when you came to Udine was a headache for Uncle Pozzo! This greeting gift you gave me is really special. To Chen Fei's surprise, Pozo didn't get angry when he saw him, but was teasing him, which made Chen Fei breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that Laura should have said something to Pozzo behind his back, otherwise it would never be like this.

"Uncle Pozo, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, it was mine or not, and I'll try to temper my words a bit. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that everyone will end badly. Chen Fei is also an understanding person, and he just happened to get off the donkey.

"This matter must not be hidden from the eyes of media reporters, what should I do?" Chen Fei remembered those omnipresent reporters.

"The reporter can't hide it. Why don't we take the initiative to make things clear at the regular press conference before the game, and both clubs take the opportunity to make a statement at the press conference. The respective clubs then issue a condemnation of the extreme fan behavior in the form of an official statement, with the right to hold the parties criminally and civilly liable. “

"That's fine." Chen Fei agreed to Pozo's suggestion. "Also, our bus should be going straight back to Bergamo to be repainted. In the meantime, please also find us a tourist bus, the rental fee for us to pay for, as a means of transportation these days. ”

"Uncle Pozo can still afford the money for the bus, plus this matter is the fault of our Udine fans, we should pay this money, don't fight with me." With such a firm attitude, Chen Fei no longer had the need to insist on his own proposition, and nodded. Pozzo was so efficient that he picked up his phone and dialed a number, and after a few words, in less than an hour, a brand new Setra bus appeared in front of the Atlanta players!

Udinese's positive response to this incident has made the Atalanta players feel a lot less angry with Udine. However, among the fan base, it is not so simple.

Fans who had already made an expedition to Bergamo were furious when they learned that their team's buses had been graffitied by the provocations of the Udines. They spontaneously organized themselves and wore the club's traditional blue-and-black striped shirts to go to the Friuli Stadium, the Udine City Hall, the Udinese headquarters building, etc., pulling banners, holding large team emblems and shouting slogans, and carried out a massive protest in Udine like a blue-black wave. The banner reads various protests:

"We will not allow you to do this to our goddess! This is a violation of the dignity and history of the team! ”

"You are not allowed to insult our Chinese coaches! Chan is our hope! ”

"Long live the people of Bergamo! Long live Atlanta! Long live the goddess!! ”

Atlanta fans shouted, "Apologize! Apologize! ", shouted as he walked, and there was a great posture of not giving up if he did not occupy the entire city of Udine.

But at this time, the Udine fans acted as if this had never happened, and no one even stood up to sing against the Atlanta fans! Mr. Zhou Shuren once said: "If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence." Therefore, the strange silence of the Udine fans makes people feel that the rain is coming.

Of course, the official way to solve the problem still has to be carried out. After arriving in Udine by train, Laura met with Pozzo and exchanged views on the process of the press conference. The next official version of the routine is relatively simple:

In the afternoon, the press conference hall of the Friuli Stadium. The press conference was full, and all media reporters knew that the episode before this game was far from ending so soon. This is definitely not your average pre-match press conference, but a great opportunity to collect bombshells!

Sure enough, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the protagonists appeared on time. Including Laura, Chen Fei, Perkasi, Old Pozo, Little Pozo, Fidel, and the female No. 1 to the male No. 5, naturally all of them are indispensable. This press conference, because it is on someone's territory, the host has become the son of the old Pozo, the little Pozo.

"Welcome to this pre-match press conference, on behalf of all the staff of Udinese Club, I would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all journalists and friends."

"As many of you should know, last night, there was a group of black figures approaching the Atlanta bus and doing some things that shouldn't be done, let's take a look at the photos. Through the photos, it can be seen that the bus of the visiting Atlanta club was vandalized by some extreme guys. Udinese FC does not admit that they are fans of our club and has asked the police to intervene in the matter to investigate, and it is believed that the relevant situation will be clarified soon. Udinese FC regrets the adverse impact of this on Atlanta FC and would like to formally appeal to all fans to be sensible about what happened on and off the pitch. ”

Subsequently, Laura also stood up and said: "The relationship between the two clubs of Atalanta and Udinese has always been good, and all deliberate attempts to discredit the previous good relationship between the two clubs are invalid." The relationship between the two clubs will not be hit by the behaviour of a very small number of extreme fans, and everyone can rest assured. Mr. Pozzo's statement is actually what we want to say, and Atalanta FC hereby formally calls on all fans to be rational about what happens on and off the field, and not to engage in off-the-beaten-path activities. The stadium is not a place outside the law, and any deliberate vandalism is subject to severe sanctions. ”

After Laura finished speaking, Chen Fei then spoke: "I personally have great respect for the Udinese Club and Mr. Fidel, and I definitely have no intention of slandering and despising the Udinese Club and Mr. Fidel. Mr. Fidel made outstanding contributions to Udinese when he was a player, which deserves everyone's admiration. Here, I would also like to warn certain people in Bergamo with ulterior motives not to defy the law. The relationship between the two clubs is normal at the moment and will be in the future. Any extreme and destructive behavior is the common enemy of civilized fans all over the world, and I hope everyone recognizes this. ”

Fidel did have some dissatisfaction with Chen Fei after he said that paragraph before, thinking that Chen Fei was too young and frivolous. But just now, Chen Fei took the initiative to ease the relationship, Fidel is not a person with a small belly, and he also forgave Chen Fei: "It is a very surprising and admirable thing that Chen can be a professional team and the head coach of a top league team at such a young age." You know, when I was his age, I was a player, and I was wearing blue and black at the time, but next door to their house. (Fidel was an Inter player at the time)"

"Haha!" Fidel's teasing eased the mood of the press conference, after which the coaches and management of both sides each answered a few regular questions. Chen Fei's questions include whether Rodriguez, who was suspended in the last game, can come back, and Zampania's origins, Chen Fei also responded one by one. The questions for Fidel include how he will arrange his defense in the face of the firepower of scoring five goals in two games, how to restore the morale of the players, etc., which are all more routine things.

What surprised Chen Fei was that at this press conference, there were not too many reporters who deliberately made things difficult for Chen Fei, after all, he had just led the team to two consecutive victories, and he also killed Parma led by Scala, which was quite a strong return. His abilities are slowly beginning to ferment in the Apennines, and he is exerting his influence on the football culture of this land. Although it can be said that there are very few places outside of Atlanta, Chen Fei's career is slowly on the right track.

With that, the official pre-match press conference officially ended, and then the reporters rushed to the Udine police station, where the police also held a brief press conference.

The Udine police held a press conference to announce their formal involvement in the investigation of the incident, and soon identified and announced the identities of several fans led by them, and successfully arrested two of them, but there are still two identified suspects at large, and the identity of another suspect is temporarily unknown. The police said they would continue to increase investment and strive to bring all the troublemakers to justice as soon as possible.

After some official rhetoric, the city of Udine temporarily returned to calm. Atalanta fans who traveled to the away stadium abandoned the parade after being persuaded by club personnel, while Udine fans did not make much of a move after Chen Fei's conciliatory remarks. Everyone thought that this little episode should be about the end of the day, but what happened next slapped everyone who thought this way.
