Chapter 88 This Is the Phone Door

On the afternoon of May 14th, Lazio beat Parma 1-0 at home, ending their 2005-2006 season with a victory. m

Before the game, they enjoyed the welcome treatment of the Parma team.

This is a tribute to the UEFA Cup winners.

Lazio brought the UEFA Cup trophy home to show off to the home fans.

The season is over, but Callgate is intensifying.

In the last round of the league, Juventus, which was in the center of the whirlpool, defeated Reggina 2-0 away.

But this game is meaningless.

Everyone is concerned about phonegate.

In the stands there were Juventus fans unfurling banners accusing Moggi of the club's management collective.

"They sullied Juventus!

"The tradition of Juventus is not fraud!""

They also defended their team's championship.

"Our champions are won through sweat!"

"It's the management that's dirty, the team is innocent!"

But all this does not save Juventus's next fate.

In fact, in the Telgate incident, the fans were the most injured. These Juventus fans sincerely cheer for every victory and every championship of the team, never thinking that these championships and victories are likely to be obtained by improper means. It was a huge hurt to their relationship. Fans give everything, only to find out that what they supported and believed in turned out to be based on a false foundation.

This is unacceptable to many people.

When Juventus is really penalized or even relegated because of the match-fixing case, the players can pat their butts and leave, and their salaries will not be reduced. The club management can be changed, and they are not short of money.

What about the fans?

From now on, everyone who sees them will make fun of them for liars.

They gave all their hearts.

The result is such a result, which is really ironic...

After the last round of the league, Moggi announced his retirement from football.

Later in the same day, Ranese, the chairman of the Italian referee committee, also dismissed get out of class sadly.

The storm was blowing harder and harder.

More people were involved, more teams were pulled out.

It's not just about Juventus anymore.

Milan and Florence were also involved, and even Lecce was investigated because of the phone recording.

In addition to match-fixing and manipulating referees, there are other things about Juventus.

For example, the use of Juventus' fake accounts is mainly due to the transfer of Buffon and Brigi in 2002.

From this point, we can see the wisdom of Chang Sheng. If you don't check things like helping people with accounts, it's fine. As long as someone is willing to check, it will definitely be accurate, and no one can escape. Lazio did not agree to Lecce's request. Not only did he get himself out of match-fixing, but more importantly, he avoided being overturned in the future. Just like Juventus.

Then there is the scandal of the Italian agency GEA.

The predecessor of gea is general_, which was co-founded by Craniotti, the former president of Lazio, Tanzi, the former president of Parma, and Geronzi, the chairman of the Bank of Rome. La, Cranioti's son Andrea and Tanzi's daughter Francesca are in charge of the company. And holds 60% of the shares. In 2000, Moggi Jr., the son of Juventus club general manager Moggi, officially joined. The Moggi family's tball_ and general_ merged to form the gea_rld brokerage company, each with 45% of the shares. Then Andre and Francesca left one after another, and Moji Jr. served as the chairman. gea has become a powerful tool for the Moji line.

The GEA agent company has monopolized the player trading market in Italy, and any player transactions between teams must be subject to the arrangements of the Moggi faction. Under the pressure of the Moji faction, many agents who do not belong to the GEA company basically can't get along in Italian football. Can only go abroad for development.

They use various illegal methods to manipulate player transfers and make profits from it.

For example, Chiellini used to be a player shared by Roma and Livorno. In order to buy him at a low price, Juventus manager Moggi used various illegal means to threaten the personal safety of Chiellini's agent. people are forced to immigrate. Subsequently, David Lippi, an important figure in the GEA Group (that is, the son of the former Juventus coach "Silver Fox" Lippi) became Chiellini's agent. Chiellini eventually moved to Juventus.

Another example is that Moggi once forced former Juventus player Miccoli to join GEA, but Miccoli disagreed. Therefore, he became "persona non grata" within Juventus and was eventually kicked out of the team.

When Bayoko left his agent and switched to GEA, his original agent complained: "If the player doesn't go to GEA, he can't go to Juventus. How can I stop his career."

Stankovic once accused Moggi's people in the Lazio dressing room to persuade him to change agents, and he and Moggi were on fire.

Nesta is a player under GEA. In the transfer from Lazio to Milan, Juventus was everywhere, and GEA contributed a lot. This kind of monopoly and black box operation is one of the important reasons why the Holy Alliance is criticized and hated by people.

As a brokerage company, it has more than 200 players from all levels of teams and more than a dozen coaches including famous coaches such as Mancini and Del Neri. This is a very strange thing in itself. Who can guarantee that they will not trade insider and keep themselves safe?

In addition to manipulating player transfers and making profits from them, the prosecutors also believe that GEA is a core organization that helps clubs launder money and balance their budgets.

From 2002 to 2004, Serie A produced 874 million euros in non-existent assets. In fact, the method is very simple. The two clubs reached a consensus to balance the budget by exchanging players, so there was a scandal that a third-level player was worth 22 million euros in Rome. Inter Milan and Milan exchanged four youth teams in 2003. Unknown players, each worth three million euros, until now. I haven't seen any of these players play yet, but Potenza and others, who the two sides refused to exchange, have become professional players one after another.

In fact, Lazio was also involved. After all, GEA was founded by the son of Lazio's former club chairman Claugnoti. There are problems with multiple transfers between Lazio and Juventus and Parma.

But fortunately, Claugnoti, the former president of the Lazio club who did these things, has left and was arrested. Now it has nothing to do with the Lazio club.

There is more and more unfavorable evidence about Juventus Moggi and Giraudo, and there is a feeling that everyone is pushing the wall.

Things that were only rumors before have been confirmed one by one. With the "help" of Moggi and Giraudo, Juventus' reputation is getting worse and worse.

For example, Giraudo once threatened Coriolis, the chairman of the Brescia club, because Coriolis asked for collective negotiation of television rights. Instead of letting the giants talk to the TV station alone, so that the giants can always get the biggest cake, while the small teams can only eat the leftovers left by the giants. Still very little.

Giraudo threatened Coriolis: "If you do this again, I'll send your team to the amateur league!"

Previously, everyone only knew that Coriolis had been threatened, but not who. Now everyone knows that it is the former club general manager of Juventus, Giraudo, Moggi's predecessor.

And unfortunately. Giraudo said this on the phone at the time. After the phone door broke out, the recording materials about him were also found out, and the evidence is conclusive.

Why did the famous star Dino Baggio, who played 60 games for the Italian national team and scored seven goals, suddenly disappear from the Italian national team? Because on January 9, 2000, Parma played against Juventus. Dino Baggio was banned for six games and fined 100,000 euros for making a "you took the money from Juventus" gesture to then-referee Farina. Then he was suspended by the national team for two games, and then bid farewell to the Italian national team completely. In the summer of 2000, Parma sold him to Lazio, but unfortunately, all the people who could play at that time were from GEA. that's it. The main core of the Italian midfielder in the 1994 World Cup gradually withdrew from the Italian football stage.

Now the phonegate incident is intensifying. Dino Baggio also came out to testify: "The accusation against Farina and the bad relationship with Giraudo cost me a heavy price."

Lazio president Lotito's name also appeared on the recording.

Because Moggi called Italian Football Federation Vice President Innocenzo Mazzini to scold Lazio President Lotito: "He was useful to us in the professional league election. Now he is a bitch. Because he is not a good thing!"

More and more phone recordings have been exposed, and everyone has seen Moggi and Giraudo and other important people in Italian football, from the referees of the Football Association, to the sports judges who judge the players, to the Italian referees The vice-president of the association, even people outside the football circle, have had affairs with Moggi. For example, the head of the investigation office of the Italian Football Association, Papa, the commander of the tax police, the main task of the investigation office of the Football Association, Atarti, the director of the Italian Tax Police School...

Even Juventus insiders came out to accuse Giraudo and Moggi, believing that the two of them used the trust of the Agnelli family to mess around for their own benefit, and put the Juventus club in one place. Very dangerous situation.

※ ※ ※

Every day when you turn on the TV or open the newspaper, you can see that the latest phone recordings have been exposed, and the latest people have been pulled in.

After the league ended, Chang Sheng did not leave Italy immediately, but continued to stay at home in Rome.

Just to keep track of the latest progress of the phonegate incident.

The fire of his gossip is burning brightly.

It stands to reason that as an experienced person, he already knew the result, but he didn't know much about many of the details. There are many phone recordings, but the Chinese media have not reproduced them. Here he can get closer to the truth.

Moggi manipulated the game, manipulated the transfer of players, and even decided whether the players could enter the national team...

These things are becoming more and more clear under the exposure of the media.

Because of his persistence, Lazio was not involved in this phonegate incident, so he can watch the phonegate incident purely with the mentality of watching a drama.

Lotito also called him specifically to thank Chang Sheng for his persistence at the beginning, which saved him and the club from falling into the abyss...

Italy's Rome, Turin, Naples, and Parma's four major procuratorates fully intervened, and the Italian Football Association is in charge of sports. Countless people were investigated, forty-one were summoned by the Naples court alone.

Former football association executives Carraro, Mazzini, Bergamo, Paireto, referee association chairman Ranese, senior leaders of Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio, Milan clubs, dozens of referees, agents, players, Journalists and high-level government officials are all listed.

The storm swept across Italy, drowning it.
