Team Spirit

Chapter 204 A record-breaking fine, AC Milan battles three giants!
"Hey, what's going on?"

After Lu Kai scored, the entire Dartford team excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

There's nothing wrong with this one.

But Lu Kai made a phone call gesture to Southgate.

Moggi, sitting in the VIP box, felt a pang of unease, thinking that Lu Kai had discovered his manipulation of Serie A scores by talking to the referee over the phone.

But then he saw Lu Kai shake his hand and switch to a flicking motion with all ten fingers.

Fans initially thought this was Lu Kai's new celebration move.
Is it playing the piano?
The next moment, Southgate handed the laptop he was using for analysis to Lu Kai.

Ashley Young rushed to the sidelines, grabbed a camera, and carried it to film Lu Kai.

Lu Kai showed the camera the images on his laptop.

Play!

This is a video of the Black Hand Party storming the Green Gun bus.

Alfred uploaded the video to Emily's email address beforehand, and the Turin police subsequently forcibly deleted the video from her phone.

During the match just now, Southgate came back down.

At this moment, hundreds of media outlets around the world broadcast the event.

Then we saw the people inside vandalizing the green-gunned bus, damaging cameras, and so on.

Ashley Young, who was sitting in the front row, was slapped on the head a few times and felt very aggrieved.

Ribery, who was standing nearby, also took an elbow to the head; no wonder he was so irritable during the match.

In the end, Lu Kai rushed forward to fight the other side in order to protect his own players, and the scene became chaotic.

Giroud, Pepe, Kompany, and Bonucci, who traveled long distances, have rarely appeared in European competitions, but they were the most outstanding this time.

Some TV stations reacted quickly and cut off the signal, switching back to the studio.

CCTV-5 initially did the same, but after about ten seconds, with Huang Jianxiang and the station's leaders nodding, they switched back to continue watching the video.

Some TV stations didn't switch at all; they were eager to broadcast this content because the backend data told them that the ratings were soaring.

Make big!
The price was for a 90-minute match, but the broadcast included a 120-minute match, not to mention an unrestricted group brawl.

Buy one get two free!

The stadium security personnel at the scene tried to stop Lu Kai's actions.

But the Celtics players surrounded Lu Kai and Ashley Young, and the security guards couldn't get through at all.

The Juventus players looked up at the footage shown on the big screen, clearly shocked.

They hadn't expected the situation to be this bad.

The laptop screen remained locked on the big screen, and the stadium director was probably so engrossed in watching that he forgot to take precautions.

The Juventus fans in the stadium gradually quieted down.

Fans are just enthusiastic; they are not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.

The "fans" in the video clearly went too far. How could they personally attack the Celtics players? We were rocking out outside their hotel in the middle of the night to influence their performance, but you still have to get them on the court. This behavior of trying to kill them halfway through is really overstepping the line.

The stadium is getting colder and colder.

Only Moji's private box was filled with various noisy sounds of smashing and breaking.

How come they still have videos?

"You can't even handle this small thing!"

"I've lived in Turin for so many years, spent so much money, supported so many people, and topped up so much phone credit. What the hell have I been doing all this time?"

"Farke! Farke!"

Just as excited as Moji was Lu Kai after the video finished playing.

Ashley Young raised the camera, zooming in on his face, mentally chanting, "Yes, that's the expression, a little more exaggerated, great, great, one more shot! Keep that pose, keep it up!"

Lu Kai, his anger blazing, yelled at the camera, "Moji, who on earth messed with the wrong person?"

Tell me who it is?

"You've been kicked out of the Champions League by us!"

"Next year, the year after, no matter which year it is, as long as we meet you, we will still kick you out of the Champions League just like we did this year!"

"Moggi! Give Juventus back to football!"

"Juventus fans, say NO to the dirty tricks!"

"fighting!"

"fighting!"

The Green Gunners players all shouted in unison, "Fighting!"

Fighting again and again.

I don't know when it started, but more and more people at the scene began to shout "fighting!"
Everyone took a look.

It's Ibrahimovic!
Ibrahimovic: Zlatan can hit people while playing football, but he never needs anyone to help him hit people! Moggi's actions were offensive to all Juventus players! I'd rather just elbow him!
Soon, some Juventus fans also started chanting:

"fighting!"

As a Turin resident, who doesn't know about Mogi's relationship with the Black Hand Party?
Juventus could have won trophies fair and square.

But Moggi has caused Juventus's dozens of trophies to be questioned and overshadowed.

He sacrificed Juventus's innocence for his own personal gain!
Even after the game resumed, fans continued to shout "fighting" from time to time.

They were also singing Juventus' team song, after all, the song is called "Juventus, You Are the Great Love" rather than "Juventus, You Are the Great Black Hand Gang".

No team scored for the remainder of the game.

The players expressed their attitude by beveling.

The score was 6-1.

Dartford staged a historic comeback, defeating Juventus 7-4 on aggregate to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

They became one of the very rare teams in Champions League history to reach the semi-finals in their first appearance in the competition.

In terms of sheer prestige, this already surpasses their achievement of winning the UEFA Cup last year.

This is the Champions League semi-finals!
After the match, Dartford refused all interviews and left the stadium as quickly as possible.

Today, Moji has called in so many police officers and security personnel, far more than usual.

They had no choice but to escort Dartford's team bus, as the mayor and various councilors had called to ensure the safety of Dartford and his entourage.

Alfred and the others only breathed a sigh of relief after the plane took off.

Too bad!
This really offended Juventus, or rather, Moggi, way too much.

Alfred even listed Turin as a forbidden city in his life because of this, vowing never to go there again.

He was genuinely afraid of being shot in the street!
The CCP is capable of doing something like this.

If they hadn't reacted quickly this time, the situation might have been different if they had stayed another night.

There's a real possibility that a shooting might actually happen.

But Alfred didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Kai's actions.

In such situations, being submissive will only lead to continued bullying.

If you really stand your ground and let the other party know that the cost of bullying is extremely high, then the other party will have no choice but to find someone else to bully.

If Moji were truly the kind of person who would order his men to shoot others when he gets carried away, he wouldn't have been able to build such a large business.

Or rather, Moggi used to do that, but the current Moggi has moved beyond that stage.

His empire was too large, with too many participants behind it, and sometimes he had to be forced to compromise.

Moreover, Green Gun is not fighting alone.

……

Manchester Evening News: "Amorin scores another hat-trick of assists, securing the Champions League assist title in advance! His nine Champions League assists in a single season equal the record set by Figo in the 1999-2000 season!"

*Les Echos*: "A miraculous comeback, the king of extra time! Lu Kai completes a hat-trick in ten minutes, turning the tide against Juventus and conquering the entire stadium!" *Marca*: "Lu Kai's incredible S-shaped free kick pays homage to Carlos! Effortlessly replicating Arshavin's style, a live demonstration, helping the Tsar continue to improve!"

AS: "England's young Vardy came off the bench and quickly scored and assisted, outmaneuvering Italy's veteran!"

Bild: "A 120-minute match ended in just 10 minutes! The Champions League quarter-final second leg will be decided on the Green Gunners' bus!"

Transfermarkt: "A new Green Gun miracle! Dartford become the most stunning Champions League semi-finalist in the last 20 years, the only Champions League semi-finalist to be in the league relegation zone!"

Media outlets that are less sensitive to the issue, or those that emphasize their professionalism, are still reporting on the competition at this time.

But the Catalans have already taken up the weapon of the media and are showcasing the charm of journalism.

Mundo Deportivo: "The Green Gunners' bus rammed into hundreds of innocent Juventus fans before the match! After the players were attacked, the Green Gunners retaliated collectively, demonstrating their violent nature!"

Diario Sport: "Although there were hundreds of violent fans outside the car, the Green Gunners had a numerical advantage inside, making their victory unfair! Despite the serious incident before the match, their exposure of Moggi during the game showed a lack of sportsmanship!"

The stable performance of the two bodies has given everyone a brand new perspective.

And all authoritative media outlets have begun to speak out for justice based on the sport of football, and this is not limited to English media:
Sky Sports: "Black football! Terrorist attacks! Racism! Personal attacks! How can Italian football be called the best in the world?"

The Times: "Whether the black-handed fan incitement was instigated by Moggi may need to be investigated, but the bad practices in Italian football must be nipped in the bud! The FA will fully support Dartford in suing Moggi and Juventus!"

The Green Gun Voice: "England manager Stanley and his father, a senior official, have issued a shocking statement demanding that UEFA severely punish this matter!"

"FA Star Executive Committee member Joyce strongly stated: If UEFA cannot give us an explanation, we should even consider leaving the EU!"

France Football: "According to a bald-headed legendary midfielder from Marseille, Juventus, and Real Madrid who wished to remain anonymous, such incidents are not uncommon at Juventus! But Juventus players are also victims, playing matches that don't feel like their own in fear! They might even be afraid to return to Juventus to coach after retirement!"

Dongqiudi: "Assassination in progress? Italian and English fans are tagging Lu Kai and Moggi, issuing death threats against them! This time, we support Lu Kai!"

Football News: "The glory of Chinese football cannot be humiliated. We should support Lu Kai and condemn Moggi no matter what!"

The Sun even stated: "Several Page 3 girls are producing videos in support of Lu Kai and Green Gun! Send them your videos insulting Moggi and you can get these services at a 50% discount! Contact information is below..."

But what's puzzling is that Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport have remained silent on the matter.

They neither criticized Green Gun nor spoke out in support of Green Gun.

It was as if... they hoped the matter could be resolved as soon as possible.

Milan: Um, well, about this...

Lazio: It's complicated...

The situation in this incident is extremely serious.

UEFA convened a high-level meeting overnight and held discussions for three days and three nights.

Three feet frozen, not a cold day.

People are not unaware of certain phenomena in Italian football, but they did not expect Moggi to be so arrogant.

He's become far more arrogant than before.

If we let him continue like this, the whole of European football will be doomed.

If Italian football loses its credibility, the sport could suffer a fatal blow.

But this matter cannot be blown out of proportion immediately.

After all, Italy still has the world's top league, and its global football influence still accounts for half of European football.

Ultimately, UEFA announced the relevant penalties.

The penalty imposed on Dartford is a fine of 10,000 euros.

This stemmed primarily from their playing of unauthorized video footage during the match celebrations, which angered the title sponsor.

This was written into UEFA's statutes long ago.

This is also the only punishment for Green Gun.

The situation is much more serious for Juventus.

First, a fine of 100,000 euros.

Second, Juventus must be ordered to issue a public and sincere apology for the attack on the Green Gunners' bus.

Third, next season, Juventus' first two home games in the Champions League group stage will be played behind closed doors.

This one is the most fatal.

The ticket losses alone exceeded seven million euros, and the total losses from all other sources are likely to exceed ten million euros.

Moji got angry and threw away millions of dollars.

That's incredibly impressive.

Moreover, playing in empty stadiums not only results in financial losses but also weakens the team's fighting spirit. It would be interesting to see Juventus eliminated from the group stage.

Fourth, the Italian Football Federation and relevant departments will conduct an in-depth investigation into any potential involvement of Juventus in illegal activities.

This item is actually useless.

If you ask them to investigate their own people, the result is self-evident.

But this is also a warning shot from UEFA to the Italian Football Federation and Moggi.

Moji would have to drag a few trusted confidants out to take the fall, even if it hurts.

Perhaps things will calm down a bit later.

This is how conservatism deals with unwieldy, unmanageable things—they dare not make a move.

They were afraid that if the Moggi Group were exposed, European football would be finished.

But sometimes, facing the truth may not have any devastating consequences. A hard landing is still possible, and preserving credibility is the only way to preserve competitive sports.

Moggi's reputation was ruined, and Juventus was dragged down with him.

However, Buffon's "heroic act" and Ibrahimovic's "putting righteousness before family" were both praised by fans.

Juventus players were not bullied.

Dartford, on the other hand, turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise.

Ashley Young and Ribery, who were hit, were adored by the fans.

After scoring goals in this round of Premier League matches, Drogba, Madeira, Eastwood, and Holt in the Championship all paid tribute to Ashley Young and Ribery, dedicating their goals to them.

Some uninformed fans even thought that Ashley Young had suffered another serious leg injury, leading to his retirement from the sport.

When I checked the news, it turned out that someone had slapped me on the head a few times.

It's perfectly normal for a bald guy to encounter this kind of thing.

Giroud, Bonucci, Pepe, and Kompany, these four tough guys are known as the "Green Gun Four Kings," collectively referred to as "Giroud, Bonucci, and Kompany."

But after recovering from this incident, people soon discovered a shocking secret.

That is... this year's Champions League semi-finalists are AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Dartford!
The Premier League has three spots!

The resurgence of traditional powerhouses, the youthful miracle of Chelsea, the big-spending Chelsea... none of these can even compare to the most famous and strongest teams in the Premier League in recent years: Manchester United and Manchester United.

Is the Premier League really going to steal Serie A's title as the world's number one league?
You ask why there are no Premier League giants?
Is it because they didn't participate?
Oh, so it's because they were eliminated.

Even so, it's still better than the two La Liga giants being eliminated by the same team.

Barcelona: MMP!

Real Madrid: Damn, we're caught in the crossfire!

On the day Juventus publicly apologized, amidst such a grand scene, "The Voice of the Green Gun" bids farewell to the old year and welcomes the new, reciting a poem:
"AC Milan battles against three heroes, Dartford and the Blaugrana."

"Are the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 still around? Real Madrid and Salvadoran countries are not careful."

AC Milan aiming for their seventh title? The Premier League's top three are eager to break records.

"We don't want to hear it if it's not Moji who's apologizing!"

"No!"

"miss you!"

"listen!"
