Chapter 659 Conte's Trouble

On the training ground, Conte is still the same as before, but in fact he is now plagued by gambling cases.

Since the end of last season, another football gambling case broke out in Italian football. This is another earthquake in Italian football since Calciopoli. Many teams and individuals are involved, and Juventus coach Conte is also a suspect. .

When Conte coached Siena in Serie B, he was suspected of participating in 8 games in which Siena participated. In the end, Siena ranked No.2 in Serie B this season.Three of those eight games were Conte-related, against Novara, Varese and Albino Leffy.Especially in Siena's 8-3 draw with Novara, the two teams ranked first and third at the time, the top two in Serie B were promoted directly, and the third and fourth were eligible for promotion playoffs. The team's best result, and the two teams finally shook hands 2-2.

Siena executive Mezza Roma is suspected of being involved in the Siena game against Varese.

Conte was also suspected of manipulating the game as a head coach at the time.

Zhang Yuan found it hard to believe that Conte would be involved in the gambling case after such a scandal broke out in Italian football, but it was difficult for him to explain clearly. At that time, a reporter asked about Conte’s gambling Regarding the matter, Zhang Yuan's answer is very simple, I don't know!

Later, it gradually became more indifferent. Conte is a good coach, and he should be punished if he is really involved.

Of course, if this incident makes Conte resign, Zhang Yuan is still a little reluctant. Regardless of whether Conte is the criminal or not, his ability to lead the team is indeed quite good. Zhang Yuan believes that there is no better coach than him for the current Juventus up.

But at present, it seems that the Juventus executives are supporting Conte. Zhang Yuan believes that Conte must have told the Juventus executives that he did not participate in gambling, and Juventus chose to firmly believe in him.

When Italy went to the European Cup in 2012, the national team captain Buffon said that being suspicious is not the same as a crime, and Conte will not leave the Juventus coaching position.

The gambling case is now like this. The court has no clear evidence to prove that Conte has something to do with the gambling case. However, Conte has no evidence to prove that he has nothing to do with it, because some key figures in Siena were caught, and among them There is Conte's former assistant Stellini.

The assistant's relationship is so close, so Conte is naturally the key suspect.

And this gambling case is far from a problem with the gambling itself, and there is also a contest between the various forces behind it. Somewhat strange.

Fans outside may not think too much, but those who are involved in Italian football know very well that whether it is a phone call or a gambling case, there are many shady scenes, and Italian courts especially like to be ambiguous. For example, if there is no clear evidence but all signs show that you are guilty, the court negotiates with you, and if you plead guilty, your sentence can be reduced. If you do not plead guilty, the litigation period will be a bit long and very torturous.

Under such a background, Zhang Yuan thought that Conte was not in the mood, who knew that he would act as if nothing had happened, perform his duties seriously, and severely punished himself and Lucio.

Of course, the fight was never over. The next day, Nedved, the club director of the team, talked to two people separately, and announced the punishment for the two people at the same time. First, he publicly apologized to the team members on the training ground. It was to be fined. Two people were hit with 2 boards each, and one was fined [-] euros.

Just like a parent, Raiola came to the "school" again. Nedved told Raiola that he should persuade Zhang Yuan to focus on the overall situation. Lucio's transfer was the result of the club's comprehensive consideration. Taking Zhang Yuan's will as a diversion, Juventus is facing a third-line battle in the new season, and Zhang Yuan can't give up.

"Pavel, Lucio can't do it anymore, he no longer has the strength to gain a firm foothold here! I don't quite understand why you made such a deal, which caused Zhang Yuan's displeasure! As long as you can afford it in the market, There are still good defenders, such as my Degan, he is very suitable for you!" Raiola belittled Lucio, and then promoted his own players.

Why did he want to change Degan's family? The reason is that Degan himself wants to degenerate, and Mino Raiola still doesn't want to. Liverpool has no future. This is his opinion.

"Mino, Digan is a good defender, but don't you think we have the money to buy it?!" Nedved said helplessly.

This is what Juventus is now, last year's big purchases, this year there is no money to buy people, but in Serie A, it is considered a few teams that have invested a lot. You must know that AC Milan has sold out this season. The two cores, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, both went to Paris.

Raiola really told Zhang Yuan at night not to be angry, just forget about the fight!

Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing, he's not that overbearing, he's not that unprofessional, fighting is a man's behavior, what should he do in the club or how to do it.

"Mino, in your eyes, I'm like a child?!" Zhang Yuan smiled.

"No, it's not in my eyes! It's in their eyes! They still care about you very much, for fear that you will get angry!"

"I'm already a father, I don't care about these things! Of course I won't give a welcome speech to Lucio's arrival!" Zhang Yuan said.

Then Raiola told Zhang Yuan about the acquisition of Rimini. The agreement has been reached. The most important thing now is to persuade the Rimini city government to agree to sell the stadium. If this cannot be achieved, Then the acquisition will also fail.

Zhang Yuan is not only an intermediary, but also one of the shareholders, so Raiola will discuss this with him, and Raiola himself will buy [-]% of the shares through secret channels.

"To be honest, I'm really not an expert in football management. I'm an agent for players, not a club!" Raiola said.

"This is not a problem! The key is to have a good management team, you just need to grasp the fundamentals!" Zhang Yuan didn't care, he thought it shouldn't be too difficult to manage a club.

Raiola thinks about it and thinks what Zhang Yuan said makes sense. As an export-oriented club, the root lies in the player resources, and the management team is actually second. It also needs a coach who is good at training young people.

With these factors, the club should still have hope to survive!

In terms of resources, you can only rely on Raiola. He is an agent and has many connections. Although he is not as wide-ranging as Mendes, he still has some foundations.

After staying in Vinovo for one day, the team moved to Santillon on the second day. This location is located in Valle d'Aosta, the smallest district in northwestern Italy. The climate here is pleasant, only 90 kilometers away from Turin, next to Highway, traffic is more convenient.

This is not the first time for Juventus to come here. From 1994 to 2004, Juventus came here for summer training every year. It can be called a blessed land for Juventus.

When Juventus came here for training, it received a very warm welcome. There are many Juventus fans, and the tourism industry of Santi Long has become so prosperous. Many fans are willing to watch Juventus' training on the spot. There are friendly matches, and they all cost money.

Satiron gave Juventus a sponsorship fee of more than 2 yuan for a three-year contract, but their mayor thought it was worth it, because Juventus benefited them more.

Conte went to the court again during this period. He returned to Satilong and said: "I finally said my thoughts, and I was relieved. A man wins the conviction of the outside world, it is the accumulation of small things. My The first 42 years of my life have shown that I am a reliable person. The chairman of Juventus and 1400 million fans know what kind of person their coach is. Now, more and more people from the outside world are beginning to understand me. I believe in the ability of the judiciary, I have never doubted my innocence, so I am as peaceful and safe as you this summer!"

It’s easy to say, the verdict has not yet been issued, but news is flying all over the sky. Some media say that Conte will be sentenced to a 10-month ban. If he is suspended for 10 months, then this coach will not be suitable. I’m afraid the average team can’t stand the [-]-month suspension. The head coach sits on the bench.
