Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The Bora newspaper reported: "I admit Chris may have been kept in the dark. Hugo was just being used; the real mastermind behind the gambling syndicate is actually Deng Kai!"

"This is terrifying! He's only thirteen! He's a monster!"

"Many people might ask, what can a thirteen-year-old do? But I hope everyone remembers that he is a child prodigy who completed Portugal's twelve-year compulsory education in just three years!"

"He's the first highly intelligent person to be admitted to the University of Lisbon so exceptionally, with the university even paying out of its own pocket for a scholarship!"

"He cleverly used the close kinship and moral constraints among Chinese people to build an airtight gambling syndicate."

"Fortunately, it was Chris's own goal that brought us to the forefront of this nascent gambling syndicate. Otherwise, who knows how much wealth he would have amassed from Europe!"

"Yellow-skinned people are absolutely awful!"

Bora reports at full speed.

But this time, no one dared to speak up for Deng Kai.

Even Jiang Yunzhu's manuscripts were all rejected by the editor-in-chief of the Records newspaper.

Because this problem is serious!

There is a fundamental difference between controlling a gambling syndicate and players participating in small-scale gambling.

Once the evidence is conclusive, regardless of whether Deng Kai is thirteen or three years old, he will definitely go to prison, and his days in prison will not be easy.

What?

Law on the Protection of Minors?

human rights?

Do not make jokes.

All special laws in the Western world only protect capital.

If you have money, it's hard to go to jail.

If you're rich but still end up in jail, it just means there are people richer than you who want you to go to jail.

That's it.

Private betting on football is a serious matter for the football world, but it doesn't have a significant impact on the European world or the world outside of football.

Very few people are sentenced.

At most, they could be suspended for a period of time, or expelled from the local league.

Even a lifetime ban is difficult to obtain.

However, once you are involved in something large-scale, organized, disciplined, and purposeful, the charges are different; it becomes a serious economic crime.

Even if you escape Europe, people will continue to hunt you down and arrest you.

Do you know Interpol?

……

"Kai, what exactly is going on?"

"I'm under a lot of pressure here, and I might not be able to handle it. You need to be prepared."

"The club has temporarily suspended me from my duties, I apologize."

Looking at the messages Trigra sent.

Deng Kai felt that this guy was reliable.

Unfortunately, there were other people above Trigra.

Such a major event was beyond Trigra's capabilities.

Ugh.

"Sister Yunzhu, I need your help with something..." Deng Kai dialed Jiang Yunzhu's number.

After hearing Deng Kai's words, Jiang Yunzhu's palms became sweaty: "Are you sure you can do this, Deng Kai?"

Deng Kai: "Sis, after listening to what I'm saying, you know I'll definitely be fine, right?"

"I know this will put you in a difficult position. But to be blunt, do you really think they're just targeting someone who might be involved in gambling?"

"No, they're targeting a Chinese person. My name, my blood, my skin, my hair—if it weren't for these things, the public opinion wouldn't be like this, and the investigation process wouldn't be like this. You've seen more of this than I do; you should know this better."

"Besides, considering your own situation, you're already a fairly well-known journalist in Europe, but what about back home?"

"Unless you do something truly extraordinary, you'll find it hard to gain recognition in China. Ten years from now, will you be content with just being a category editor?"

"Believe me, if you succeed in this, you'll have a lot of confidence when you compete for editor-in-chief!"

"This is indeed helping me, but it's also helping you, sister."

"Besides... haven't you been waiting for an opportunity to introduce Chinese players like me, who play in Europe, to fans back home?"

"I think we don't need to wait any longer! Now is the time!"

After a long silence, Jiang Yunzhu's voice came from the other end: "Alright! Since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you this time!"

After saying that, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to realize that the word "accompany" could be ambiguous, so she immediately changed her words: "Sister will accompany you for a while to see these Portuguese capitalists!"

The following day, Portuguese media outlets received invitations or notifications from the Chinese media outlet Sports Weekly.

They will hold a press conference at noon.

A specific response was given regarding the alleged football poker incident involving Chinese-American player Deng Kai.

Furthermore, it was emphasized that this was a significant event concerning the friendship between the two sides, and it was hoped that the Portuguese side would treat it with utmost care!

In addition, major European football publications also received this invitation.

If it were any unknown media outlet, the Portuguese media wouldn't pay any attention to it.

Because someone has already told these media outlets not to speak up for Deng Kai.

An invisible force has sapped the vitality of the Portuguese media, which is why the revelation of Deng Kai's behind-the-scenes manipulation seems like a foregone conclusion.

But other media outlets outside of Portugal are very interested in this matter.

On one hand, he was interested in the matter itself: a thirteen-year-old future tycoon of a gambling empire?

It sounds like it could sell a lot of newspapers.

On the other hand, this is a rare instance of Chinese media adopting a tough stance of "I have something to say, it's a big deal, don't talk nonsense, come and listen."

In an instant, reporters from many well-known media outlets flocked to Lisbon.

Those who couldn't fly over in time would find collaborators in Lisbon and buy exclusive or broadcast content from freelance journalists.

Sporting Lisbon has stated that this matter has nothing to do with them and that team members are not allowed to go to the hotel where the press conference was held.

However, Trigra still attended the press conference on his behalf.

Cristiano Ronaldo made several requests and was eventually able to appear on the scene to support Deng Kai.

The two people in the very center of the table are Jiang Yunzhu and Deng Kai.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Yunzhu, a reporter from the Chinese football media outlet Sports Weekly stationed in Portugal." Jiang Yunzhu began to introduce today's topic, but at the same time, her phone was already ringing off the hook.

Because the headquarters of the domestic "Sports Weekly" was unaware of this matter.

They had just learned from their colleagues that they had held such a grand press conference in Portugal.

In the sarcastic tone of a South Korean reporter, it was roughly like, "Your Sports Weekly is really something, actually gathering all the European football media in Portugal. What big news is there to announce? Is it that Chinese capital is going to acquire Sporting Lisbon? Or are you going to create a new award to replace the Ballon d'Or?"

The editor-in-chief of the sports weekly was terrified when he heard about it.

This move will not only destroy the network of contacts they have built up in Europe, but more importantly, will it have a negative impact on the official foreign policy strategy?

Jiang Yunzhu, you are a sinner for all time!

you……

But from Deng Kai's perspective, to be honest, Sports Weekly has absolutely no connections or resources in Europe.

You treat them as friends, but they treat you like a sucker!

You can't even manage to get one or two young players to play in Europe? Bah!

If many promising young players in China could go abroad to play football, even if they weren't on par with Son Heung-min, just being a starter in a second-tier league would be enough to make fans happy.

So when they're making money in China through you, they're your friends, but when you need them to do something for you, they're no longer your friends?

What kind of friend is this?

As for influencing official strategy, let's set aside whether grassroots actions have that much influence. Looking at the bigger picture, constant appeasement may not earn respect; occasionally, it's necessary to flex one's muscles!

After Jiang Yunzhu started the show, the focus shifted to Deng Kai.

Under the flash of countless cameras, he slowly spoke: "Regarding the Portuguese Anti-Gambling Association's report, investigation, and confirmation that I participated in and was accused of organizing gambling, I am aware of it."

Before we discuss this matter, I'd like to share something with everyone. That is...

"More than 90 percent of the members of this Portuguese anti-gambling association have close economic ties with major betting organizations in Portugal, Spain, and even Europe."

"Many members' family members, and even many members themselves, hold senior management positions within online gambling organizations!"

boom!

The entire venue became lively.

WTF!

Are you crazy?

Who in this industry doesn't know about the thing Deng Kai popularized?

Aren't all the members of the Anti-Monopoly Association monopolies?

However, no media outlets typically dare to report such news.

Because doing is one thing.

But saying it out loud changes things.

Once some things are said, even a fool will start to suspect that there is something wrong with them.

In fact, these things cannot withstand scrutiny.

Because there is indeed a problem.

Since Deng Kai dared to say that, it means he's going to take drastic measures!
