Section 53 Prominent lawyers
(a)
"Alas!" Gasperini shook his head, hung up his phone, blew his whistle on the sidelines, and shouted at the training ground: "Stop! Patton! Patton! Come here! Okay, okay, disbanded, rest for a while! ”
It is rare for training sessions on Thursday afternoon to be stopped just half an hour into the first session.
"Patton, your leave is approved, go ahead, just come back tomorrow night before the warm-up game!" Gasperini was very upset.
"Leave? Approve? I didn't take any leave, huh? Chen Zhuo was stunned, what was going on?
Gasperini shook his head and said, "I didn't remember your schedule either, you have a court tomorrow!" I'm going to Milan tonight to meet with your lawyer, alas...... I hated Galliani more and more, and so did the boss, and I didn't talk about it clearly......"
Oh, it turned out to be this thing, Chen Zhuo understood.
On Friday, October 1, 2010, the second warm-up match between the original Jihua Hong Kong team and the Genoa team in the evening was also Chen Zhuo's 29th birthday.
This day was also the day of the first trial of Chen Zhuo's case against the newspaper Repubblica.

"Patton, this is your lead lawyer, Mr. Petrica, and our main partner in Spanwitz in Italy...... explains Leoni.
Petrika? When Chen Zhuo stretched out his hand to shake hands with the old Italian man opposite, he asked, "Are you ...... That Petrika? ”
Leonie smiled and replied for Petrica, "Yes, he should be the Petrika you said." ”
After speaking. Leonie explained to Petrika on behalf of Chen Zhuo: "We are doing everything for Patton, so today is the first time Patton knows your name. ”
"Oh, no, Miss Leonie, it is evident that my attorney did not know my name for the first time, but for the first time that I was his lawyer." Petrika corrects Leonie's wording, and also shows his rigor as a lawyer.
This wording is indeed important, because it is not the first time Chen Zhuo has heard the name Petrika, but it is the first time that he has associated Petrika with the term lawyer.
Over the past year or two, including from Spanwitz's mouth. Chen Zhuo had heard the name Petrika more than once. The name Petrika is even occasionally mentioned in some news reports in China, but it is never associated with a lawsuit, and Petrika is always preceded by the title "agent", and Petrika has a nickname in Italy. It's called the "Asian Transfer King". He is also the President of the Italian Association of Brokers.
Let the "Asian Transfer King" and the "President of the Italian Brokers Association" serve as Chen Zhuo's lead lawyer. And personally came to help Chen Zhuo fight this lawsuit, there is no doubt that the Milan club played a great role, and it was also to make this lawsuit have a greater influence.

As a sports agent. Petrika's successful transfer of Japanese player Shunsuke Nakamura to Reggina and then sale to Scottish Celtic, as well as the introduction of Japanese Atsushi Yanagisawa to Sampdoria and Messina, and the landing of Iranian player Rezai in Serie A, are all part of Petrika's team.
What is not familiar to Chinese fans is that Petrika also has a crush on a Chinese player and has worked hard for several years.
It was in 2005, Petrica took a fancy to Feng Xiaoting, the defender of the Chinese national youth team, Petrika admired Feng Xiaoting, who had just turned 20 years old at the time, and thought that in addition to his excellent football skills, he had a cheerful personality and simple English skills, which made the old Italian man feel that Feng Xiaoting could land in Serie A like Shunsuke Nakamura and Rezai.
In 2006, Petrika met Feng Xiaoting in Dalian, at this time Feng Xiaoting's thigh was already suffering from a serious injury, Feng Xiaoting told Petrika that his thigh was very painful, and he couldn't get better with a lot of methods, Petrika was very heartbroken, and soon after returning to Italy, he helped Feng Xiaoting contact a professional clinic for Totti's treatment, and called Feng Xiaoting to come to Italy for treatment.
The diagnosis of the Italian doctors was that due to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment in China, the muscle structure of Feng Xiaoting's left and right sides of the pelvis had been seriously imbalanced, and they concluded that Feng Xiaoting's illness was actually not serious, but it was delayed in China, and even said that his career could be ruined!
In Petrika's own words, something like this has not happened to Japanese and Iranian players in the past. Chinese clubs always talk about how they have invested in developing players, and in fact, they are thankful that they have not completely destroyed these talented players.
In the end, it was Petrika who paid almost 10,000 euros out of his own pocket, and after more than a month of diagnosis and treatment in this professional clinic, the injury was basically healed, and after a period of recovery, he could continue to play football, and his career would not be affected.
After recovering from injury, Petrika sent Feng Xiaoting to follow Siena and Sampdoria for a trial, and got a contract from Sampdoria that was willing to rent and buy Feng Xiaoting, and went to China with confidence.
However, what was waiting for Petrika was a closed door, Dalian Club first did not admit the problem of misdiagnosis and mistreatment, and secondly, expressed no interest in Sampdoria's contract, and rejected it, saying that Feng Xiaoting was not for sale in Dalian. Petrika took a lot of effort to find Xu Ming, and Xu Ming also used this set of rhetoric.
After understanding many aspects, Petrika knew that there was a unanimous "opinion" in the Chinese football "circle" at this time, they believed that the value of Chinese players would rise wildly after the 2008 Olympic Games, so after the 2005 World Youth Championships, Chinese football clubs reached an agreement that all the players of the national youth team would not be released!
When this failed, Petrika had another plan, and he persuaded his friend, Marotta, the general manager of Sampdoria, to propose a plan to become a friendly club with Dalian and provide Dalian with help in many ways. He hoped to exchange Dalian for agreeing to Sampdoria on loan and the right of first refusal to buy Feng Xiaoting. However, within a few months of his visit to Dalian with Sampdoria's representatives, the Friendship Club program was again in the sea.
Petrika does not know the Chinese. He didn't know that his "on the pole" had made the possibility of a deal zero, and the Chinese didn't have an old saying, "getting on the pole is not a sale"! Petrika clearly didn't understand.
For "after the 2008 Olympic Games, the value of Chinese players will rise wildly", Petrika laughed, I don't know what they are based on, and what is the logical basis for this conclusion, after the Athens Olympics and the Sydney Olympics, it seems that the value of Greek players and Australian players has increased many times!
There is no way, at that time, the Chinese football "circle" has gone crazy. Be sure to practice the Nine Yin Sutra. But it seems to be practiced against the Sunflower Treasure Classic.
At the beginning of 2007, Petrika took Sampdoria scouts to visit Feng Xiaoting, but Feng Xiaoting was injured in the warm-up match and missed the Toulon Cup and a series of warm-up matches for the Chinese Olympic team in Italy in July 2007. Feng Xiaoting's transfer to Serie A came to an end.
After 2008. The poor performance of the Chinese Olympic team was scolded. The expectation of skyrocketing value has also been disappointed, and Feng Xiaoting at this time found Petrika and asked Petrika for help. and said that he was willing to go to the second- and third-rate leagues in Europe with very low salaries, but Petrika told him that the Chinese players who played in the second-rate leagues in Europe did not turn out well, like Shi Jun and Yu Hai, and in the end they could only disappear and be silent.
However, in the end, Petrika helped Feng Xiaoting design and plan, and used his legal knowledge and football connections to facilitate Feng Xiaoting's free transfer to South Korean FC Daegu, with an annual salary of 220,000 US dollars, excluding housing, cars and game bonuses, a two-year contract and agreed to unlimited Feng Xiaoting's transfer opportunities to Europe.
This is last year, that is, at the beginning of 2009, Petrika has lost patience with the Chinese football circle, when he heard that the Chinese Football Association was ready to block Feng Xiaoting's free transfer by administrative means, Petrika's lawyer's letter has flown to FIFA, and finally under the pressure of FIFA, on February 6, 2009, the Chinese Football Association officially issued a document to support the player to stay in the United States, and two days later Feng Xiaoting publicly announced that he had signed a contract with Daegu, South Korea, becoming the first person in China's "free transfer".
In this sense, Chen Zhuo's free transfer is also due to Petrika's four-year transfer efforts to Feng Xiaoting.
In fact, Petrika not only contacted Feng Xiaoting alone, in 2005, another player of the national youth Chen Tao, Petrika also brought two contracts, the Torino team's rent-to-buy was rejected by Changsha Jinde, Genoa's 90 to 1.1 million euros transfer fee, paid in installments over two years, and was rejected by Changsha Jinde, the counteroffer was 1.2 million euros to be paid within three months after the signing, Genoa did not discuss again, that was Gasperini's offer in 2007, 1.2 million euros to buy Chen Tao, It's a bit expensive for Gasperini.

"There are basically two steps in the Italian trial process, the first is to confirm the facts, and the second is to compare the legal code...... Petrika asked two assistants to briefly explain the Italian legal process to Chen Zhuo.
In general, the Shijie judicial system is currently divided into common law systems, which are characterized by the jury system and the case law system, and the civil law system, which is characterized by the jury system and the code law system.
To put it simply, in the United States and countries and regions that are deeply influenced by the Commonwealth countries, such as Hong Kong, the process of determining facts is done independently by a jury, who will listen to and analyze the evidence provided by the prosecution and defense, confirm the facts and distinguish responsibilities, and the jury is not subject to any interference from the judge or the outside world.
For example, Germany and Italy adopt a "mixed court system", in which professional judges and "jurors" similar to jurors jointly confirm the facts, and judges play a leading and guiding role in the confirmation process, but in major criminal cases, Germany uses a "grand jury" to independently confirm the facts.
The main difference between this is that the jury system is more complicated, which will lead to cumbersome organization and high litigation costs, so some non-major cases in civil law countries are often a career judge and two assessors to make a fact, rather than sitting in two rows of jurors as in Hong Kong TV dramas.
"Take your case as an example, the reason for our lawsuit is that the newspaper 'defamed' and 'disseminated false news as a public media', and demanded that the other party 'stop the infringement' and 'openly conduct sincere daoqian'......

"As a player, a player who has won the Ballon d'Or and the Golden Boot in the Europa League, health and a positive image are extremely important to my client, and the defendant's fabrication of false reports of my client team-mate against the manager without any factual basis and only on his imagination led to my client's client being misunderstood in many ways because of the impact of the false report......" Petrika went straight to the point.
“…… The false report said by the plaintiff is completely nonsense! Could the opposing lawyer please point out which sentence in our report is 'defamation' against your client, and which sentence is 'false news'? Please look at the ninth line of this report, "As for the rumors of the discord between the Milan generals, according to our statistics, there were more than 230,000 news entries with the discord between Milan and the generals before the match day in this report", and we will provide computer screenshots as evidence to prove that we have only stated a fact, and there is no word claiming that we have received the exact news of the discord between the Milan generals......" The lawyer for La Repubblica gushed to refute it.
This will not be a lawsuit that can quickly confirm the facts, Petrika said at the beginning, lawyers and journalists are good at playing with words, and from their mouths, dead can be said to be alive!
There's an advantage to sitting in the courtroom, it's a great exercise for hearing! Although Chen Zhuo can only communicate in Italian verbally, the lawyers on both sides can clearly pronounce words, although many words will still have obstacles, but Chen Zhuo can basically understand the meaning of both of them.
The first trial lasted from 8 am to 1 pm, a full 5 hours, and after the adjournment, the two sides supplemented the materials for the second trial on October 8, which was like a league!
"Patton, you're going to learn Italian." Petrika said.
The lawyer's statement for La Repubblica said that the client, Chen Zhuo, could hardly read an Italian newspaper report in its entirety and could not speak fluently in Italian, so it was unlikely that the report would cause him any "harm".
Although the topic was interrupted by Petrica's protests, Petrika said that Italians and French are similar to each other, and they are full of pride in their country's written history, and if Chen Zhuo does not understand Italian and cannot speak fluently during cross-examination, it will be very detrimental to Chen Zhuo.
"Ahh Looking for a language teacher? How can I have time! Chen Zhuo was bitter in his heart. (To be continued......)
