1085 BIG4 Housework
Just six months ago, Tottenham captain Ledley King shocked English football with his drunken behaviour, for which Tottenham received a punishment from the FA.
As a result, after 6 months, Tottenham Hotspur was exposed to a drunken scandal again, and as many as 16 players participated this time.
Although Tottenham are currently fifth in the Premier League, they have a good chance of breaking into next season's Champions League.
But coach Redknapp couldn't laugh at all.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper yesterday, Lao Lei is ready to severely punish his 16 players today for holding a Christmas party without the coach's knowledge, and there was drunken trouble.
According to preliminary estimates, the average weekly salary of the 16 Tottenham players is around £40,000 each, which means that the fine will be at least £1.3 million, and if the fine is finally implemented, it will undoubtedly be the heaviest intra-team penalty in the history of the Premier League.
Sixteen Tottenham players, including Robbie Keane, recently applied to the club to go out en masse on the grounds of attending a golf event, only to secretly throw a Christmas party.
As the party continued into the wee hours of the morning, it seriously disturbed the rest of the nearby residents, and several drunken players even got into a verbal altercation with the nearby residents, so the residents called the police.
The arrival of the police finally stopped the party from proceeding, and the matter was exposed by some local tabloids.
After seeing the report, Lao Lei said: "They are not free to do this, and I will severely punish each and every one of them." ”
He will announce the results of the punishment against the 16 players today.
"I'm angry and this has to be taken seriously. They didn't have my permission, so they are responsible for their actions. I don't know what reason they have to meet. The team is so bad right now. Ordinary people can go out and drink heavily. Carnival, but as players, they can't do that. I will penalize them with at least two weeks' wages. ”
Coincidentally, after Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Fulham, the whole team held a Christmas party at Rio Ferdinand's restaurant "ROSSO". The ambulance arrived at the scene, Rooney was also rumored to be injured, and the next day, many hangovers of the party became the material for the lace tabloids to gain eyeballs.
Ferguson was furious when he found out, saying in an interview: "We can have Christmas at a time when the gap between the team and the leaders is getting bigger and bigger, and the players have the right to go to Christmas, but given that we are back on the pitch on the 26th to fight for the title defending, then the players need to be clear-minded and know what they are doing and what to do. What not to do! ”
Exactly how the party was handled within United is unknown, but Fleet Street has cited it as a management failure between United and Tottenham.
Even Liverpool has a party. But it is relatively "quiet", even Gerrard, the honorary citizen of Liverpool City, used to cause trouble in the bar and fight with the National People's Congress, but now it has been much more restrained, as for Arsenal, they are basically good babies under the professor, and rarely cause trouble outside.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are making headlines, and Chelsea captain John Terry is not willing to be lonely to make headlines!
England captain John Terry's reputation has been greatly affected this year by his mother's theft and his father's drug trafficking, but now the world-class defender, who earns £160,000 a week, has been embroiled in a scandal of his own.
According to the British "News of the World", the Chelsea captain actually guarded and stole himself, turned into a scalper to sell tickets to the club's Cobenham training base privately.
The News of the World has always been known for exposing celebrity scandals, such as Terry's mother's burglary of a department store and his father's underground drug trafficking, but this time the News of the World took aim at the Chelsea captain himself.
According to the newspaper, Terry took the initiative to find Tony Bruce, a notorious scalper in Britain, to act as an intermediary in the deal, and the two collected a total of 200 cash sheets in denominations of £50 from three News of the World reporters disguised as wealthy businessmen, totaling £10,000.
In the course of the conversation, Terry insisted that the three "rich businessmen" keep it a secret, saying: "If this matter is found out by the club, then I am afraid you will understand what I mean." ”
To justify himself, Terry even went so far as to go under the guise of philanthropy, claiming that he would donate £8,000 of that to the MakeAWish Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping terminally ill children, and that the remaining £2,000 would be given to Bruce as part of the deal.
John Terry then took the 'rich guys' to Chelsea's five-star training base at Cobenham.
Generally speaking, the training base is not allowed to be visited by outsiders as a place for the team to practice skills and tactics, unless it is visited by some important groups, such as the Chinese Football Association delegation came to the Cobenham training base not long ago.
Of course, what Terry did was not approved by manager Carlo Ancelotti, and he took three "distinguished guests" on a full tour of the Cobenham training base, and the group even bumped into Ballack and Drogba in the bath.
At noon, Terry arranged lunch for the "guests" in the cafeteria of the training base, and it was here that the disguised News of the World reporter handed Bruce 10,000 pounds in cash in a black paper bag, and Terry smiled when he saw it.
Ironically, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was sitting just a short distance away, and the Italians enjoying lunch could never have dreamed that the captain he had appointed had become scalpers and was selling tickets to visit the Cobenham training ground.
And if it's not journalists in disguise, such as detectives from other clubs, then the technical and tactical system on which Chelsea live will no longer be a secret, and the consequences will be truly dire.
After the deal was completed, Bruce once again warned the "rich businessmen" that they must keep it a secret and that he would take full responsibility in the event of an incident.
"If things change, you have to say, 'John didn't know,' and John will deny it, and he can put the blame on me, and you're going to say, 'It was Tony Bruce who arranged it, I shouldn't have done it,'" Bruce said. ’”
At this time, Terry chimed in and said, "That's right. ”
It's easy to tell from the duo's singing and harmony that this isn't their first time working together, and the News of the World confirmed that Terry and Bruce have scheduled at least three similar "visits."
When the disguised reporter introduced them to more "business", Terry revealed: "Yes, we can arrange it, but you have to tell them that they can't talk to anyone about it, and once anyone finds out, we can't do it anymore." ”
And Bruce, who has known John Terry since he was a Chelsea student, insisted that such an event had to be "very, very low-key".
However, despite the low profile of John Terry and Bruce, their words and actions in the deal have been captured on secret cameras by News of the World reporters, who have also claimed that they are willing to provide video evidence if the club and the FA need it.
There is no doubt that Terry's move will provoke the fury of the club's hierarchy and manager Carlo Ancelotti, as he wears the captain's armband and even leads outsiders into Ancelotti's tactical set-up room, where the blackboard in the room is marked with the tactical plan for this round against West Ham United.
