"Man of the Year? Business Opportunities? Chen Zhuo was confused when he heard this, and asked: "So, Mr. Galliani doesn't think that this matter will affect the image of the Milan club?" ”

On the other end of the phone, Spanwitz erupted into a hearty daxiao and said, "Patton, you, don't you know that the best way to get attention now is not to let others praise you, but to cause controversy?" The most newsworthy thing is not whether there is a 'gang of old people' in Milan, but that you actually appear in the 'gang of old people'! And from a photographic point of view, you're still a key figure in this 'Old Man'......"

"Wait, Daniel, it's not what you think, I've already explained it to Mr. Allegri......" Chen Zhuo wanted to explain the matter as soon as possible.

Spanwitz interrupted Chen Zhuo's words and said: "Vittorio Mentana is going to the base to look for you soon, I am on my way to the airport now, I will be in Milan in the afternoon, you explain the matter to the press officer, but, Patton, no matter what decision the club makes, you have to believe that this decision will definitely be beneficial to you, okay, let's meet and talk about the specific things, remember my words......"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhuo looked at Vanney and Inzaghi next to him, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "No matter what decision the club makes, let me believe that this decision will definitely be beneficial to me...... I don't know what the hell they're up to. ”

Vanney and Inzaghi also looked at each other and didn't know what to do, but they could tell that something had to happen.

(b)

"Is that really what Patton says this is?" Vittorio Mentana asked.

Ambrosini and Gattuso said in unison, "That's right, what Patton said is the truth. ”

"Well, it's also a matter for Patton to take the lead and participate in gambling with you on the phone." Vittorio Mentana continued to confirm.

Ambrosini and Gattuso looked at each other, and Gattuso asked rhetorically, "This...... Can it be counted as a bet? ”

Allegri next to him also glanced at Mentana suspiciously, in his opinion, this is the players getting together to play, at best, what he calls "misconduct in public places", it can't be considered "gambling"!

"Players and coaches are not allowed to participate in the betting of their own games, there are rules for this, you will not understand! Of course, whether it is gambling or not is subject to the final decision of the club's legal department......" Mentana said to Ambrosini and Gattuso.

"Vittorio, this ...... It's a bit excessive. Allegri couldn't help but speak: "At best, they played together for a while, and we can report it internally, so we can't make such a big fuss." ”

Turning to Allegri, Mentana said: "Mr. Coach, since this incident has now been reproduced by almost all of Italy's television, newspapers and sports portals, we must tell the public the truth without hiding anything...... But don't worry, I know in my heart that according to this situation, it is only the leader himself who will be punished, and it will not affect other people......"

"Punishment?" Ambrosini was obviously a little anxious, and he asked, "You mean, there is still a punishment?" ”

Mentana said to Ambrosini: "Massimo, you don't have to worry, this is the Chinese kid who provoked it, he is responsible for himself, and you will not be implicated......"

Gattuso stood up at once and said, "It's not like this! In fact...... It was we who proposed, the initial bet and the later phone bet, both of which we proposed......"

Ambrosini also stood up and said: "What Ivan said is the truth, Mr. coach, Mr. press officer, just because Patton is a newcomer can't let him take the responsibility he shouldn't have!" ”

Allegri walked over and patted Ambrosini and Gattuso on the shoulders to sit them down, then asked Mentana: "Vittorio, Massimo and Ivan have a point, and I don't think the club needs to make this matter so serious as punishing the players." The key question is, this is obviously the journalist's nonsense, and Weishenme wants to solve it by punishing the players? Vittorio, I can talk to Mr. Galliani about this. ”

After a deep sigh, Mentana said: "Everyone, let's put it this way, this matter is indeed a reporter's fabricated news, and this media is also a sports media that targets us in Milan all year round, you don't need to explain that I know it's fake news!" ”

Pointing to Ambrosini and Gattuso, Mentana said: "Massimo and Ivan, the two captains and vice-captains, are both parties to the incident, and we all know the conduct of the two of them, so it is impossible to say that what the newspaper said is true!" ”

Waving his hand for Allegri, Ambrosini and Gattuso not to interrupt, Mentana continued: "You don't have to ask, I know you're going to say that the Weishenme Club knows that this media is lying, and they are going to publish the truth and punish Patton, right?" ”

All three nodded. Mentana said: "Okay, then I'll tell you about the club's plan, first of all, I'm sure that Patton is telling the truth, and Massimo and Ivan can prove all this, and this matter is not a big deal, or even a thing, it's not a big deal, right." ”

Allegri, Ambrosini and Gattuso all agreed.

Mentana continued: "It's not a big deal, if it's deliberately amplified by the media, it can at least blame Milan for lack of discipline, right? As Coach Allegri said, you do misbehave in public places, or inappropriate, for example, when the team loses, you laugh very happily, does this photo hurt the hearts of the fans? ”

Ambrosini and Gattuso glanced at each other and didn't speak, a warm-up game that is nothing is good, infinitely magnified, do people still want to live! But it's impossible not to admit that Mentana has a point.

"Frankly revealing the truth and reaching an understanding with the fans, and by punishing or even severely punishing Patton, in the eyes of the fans and the media, to create an image of Milan as a disciplined team, is this in the general direction a bad thing turned into a good thing?" Mentana is very methodical and logical.

Allegri didn't speak, Ambrosini and Gattuso looked at each other, both of them depressed, Mentana was right, it was just ......

"Publicizing this little matter and severely punishing those responsible, even so severe that the fans think it's too harsh for Patton, not only creates the image of the team as having iron discipline, but also makes it easy for fans to sympathize with the weak and support Patton to get up from adversity, but this may affect Patton's normal training and mentality, and even his career, which is what you are worried about, right?" Mentana asked.

Ambrosini and Gattuso nodded approvingly, and Allegri also nodded, "Yes, he is almost 29 years old, and time is precious to him." ”

"It's possible to punish him for not training with the team for the time being or to go on loan to other clubs, and the club will take it into account and not let him lose the opportunity to play." Mentana said, and then asked: "Coach Allegri and the captain and vice captain are here, I want to ask, even if Patton is training with the team now, will he have a place in the main squad in the short term?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and no one squeaked, this, who can say, Patton has a certain ability and specialty, but it is not easy to become the main force in Milan!

"So, isn't it better to loan him out to a mid-table team than to sit on the bench at the club? This punishment may not be a good thing for any of you, but it may not be a particularly bad thing for Patton. Mentana patiently explained.

The three of them didn't speak anymore, and in front of the club's chief press officer, they had better listen more and talk less.

"Zuihou, let me tell you a little bit, isn't Patton, who has been severely punished, a victim of fake news and unscrupulous media? Then Patton is personally prosecuting the journalist and the outlet...... You get the idea, right? Mentana revealed a little.

Now the three of them fully understand that the club has used this incident to communicate sincerely with the fans, emphasizing to the outside world that the team has strict discipline, and also letting Patton act as the club's gunman in the name of "fake news victims" to fight against hostile media, as for Patton, if there is a good team to temper, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Don't let him go to the second division, and don't let him go to a team that is too bad......" Ambrosini sighed.

"Don't sell him, this guy...... It has a certain strength. Gattuso said, looking at Allegri.

Allegri nodded, asking Patton to go wherever he could, he could still help with the checks.

"That'...... Where will it be? Or is it still an Italian league? Chen Zhuo asked while weighing in his heart, but the question is, does he have the right to choose and refuse?
