"Hello, Maurizio, it''s me."
In Torino''s study, Moggi dials the mobile phone of referee designator Maurizio Mattei.
"Oh, Hello, Mr. Moggi." Matey replied politely on the phone.
Moggi said, "I want to know, how are the referees in that round of the League two days later?"
"It''s all set." Matey replied with a smile.
"Who?"
"I arranged for papalesta to go to Milan to enforce the law. You are old friends and should be familiar with it."
When Moggi heard the name, he frowned, and his mind could not help recalling the scene when he locked papalesta in the referee''s lounge of the Alpi stadium. Although since then, papalesta has tamed a lot, Moggi has a very annoying intuition every time he sees him.
But he could not tell what he hated.
"It''s a very important game, it''s about our success this season
"Well, I know, so I specially arranged for papalesta. You know, he is one of the best referees in our country. I believe he can complete the task very well." Matey said on the phone.
But Moggi was still a little uneasy. He didn''t like papalesta. "I mean, can you change it?"
"Another one?" Matey was a little surprised. "For whom?"
"Other people, such as Domenico or Pablo, we''ve won all their law enforcement matches this season."
"Er... Mr. Moggi, Domenico Messina has been arranged to take charge of Udinese and Chievo, while Pablo Bertini is going to take charge of Livorno and Palermo. You know, these two games are very important, which are related to the qualification of Champions League and UEFA Cup, so..."
"Then arrange for someone else." Moggi snatched the words with some headache.
"Others?"
"For example, Massimo, which one does he enforce?"
Matey on the other side of the line hesitated. "Ascoli and Cagliari."
"That''s right, this game is not important, no one will pay attention to it. Let papalesta go and Massimo come to Milan to enforce the law. I believe he can complete the task very well
"But... Mr. Moggi, the list has been drawn up and the notice is in place."
"Then change it and let me know again. It''s not the first time. Is it OK?"
Matey on the other side of the phone hesitated again, and finally said, "Mr. Moggi, the wind is very tight outside now."
"What do you mean?"
"Archie was asked back by the Roman procuratorate to investigate, you know?" Matey asked.
"I know." Said Moggi with indifference.
The former Siena captain, after Siena''s 3-0 defeat to Juve, bombarded the current manager and management of Siena, accusing them of sending points to Juve, while considering Siena as a puppet of Juve.
It''s not the first time this has happened in Serie A.
In fact, almost every season, as long as the match between Siena and Juve, Siena''s fans and veterans will jump out to make trouble, but when has there been a problem?
Moggi is dismissive of Mattei''s fear. He thinks that the former referee, even after his promotion, is as timid as ever. How can he make a big deal?
But now he had to put down his disdain and said placidly, "well, Maurizio, don''t scare yourself. You should know that argillay is just talking. What evidence can he have? He always said that Siena is a subsidiary of Fiat, but in fact, we can find a lot of reasons to prove that it is not. "
"As for the Roman procuratorate to take him back, it''s just a routine. I''ve asked someone to understand it. After a few words, I let him go. It''s nothing at all. It''s just that there''s a lot of noise outside, and the procuratorate has to say something about it. It''s an old routine."
Matey whispered on the phone. Obviously, Moggi''s words gave him a lot of confidence.
In the past so many years, they have been cooperating with each other without any problems. I believe this time, too.
"Listen to me, let Massimo come to Milan to enforce the law. We win every time he enforces the law. I like him, papalesta. I don''t like him. Let him enforce other games."
"Well, I''ll do something about it." Moggi said that, and Mattei had to compromise.
"Well, don''t worry, I won''t forget you."
"Thank you."
After hanging up Marty''s phone, Moggi took the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked through his mobile phone''s address book, found a name in it, and dialed directly.
Soon, the phone was through.
"Hello, Massimo, it''s me."
"Hello, Mr. Moggi."
"I''ve already told Matteo that you''ll come to Milan to enforce the law."
"Me?" De Santis on the other side of the phone seemed a little surprised, "but he didn''t arrange for me to go..."
"Yes, I changed my mind temporarily. The specific notice should be given tomorrow. I need you, Massimo."
There was a silence on the other side of the phone. Obviously, it''s not a good job.
Everyone knows that Juve are nine points away from Inter and there are still four rounds left in the league. Only by beating Inter at the meacha stadium can the Bianconeri have a glimmer of hope, even if it is extremely slim.
But anyone who has seen the performance of Inter this season knows how good the team''s condition is and how terrible its offensive ability is. It''s very difficult for Juve to beat their opponents away from home
At this time, it is self-evident to arrange anyone to enforce the law.
Moggi on the phone obviously understood the hesitation of de Santis and sighed gently, "I know it''s very difficult. I also know that there will be countless media gathering from all over the world, so I need you more than ever, Massimo."
It''s not the first time they''ve done something like that.
In fact, every serie a match will attract a lot of media and fans to the scene, or watch live TV. People who are familiar with football can see the referee''s law enforcement.
But every time, it''s always a little pressure on the public opinion after the game, blaming the problem on the referee''s mistakes and so on, and exposing the matter. The real test of difficulty is the on-site law enforcement.
In particular, this kind of strong dialogue, a little careless, may lead to game imbalance, and even affect the final result.
"Of all the referees in Serie A, I trust you the most, Massimo
Hearing Moggi''s words, desandis agreed over the phone, "well, I''ll do my best."
"Believe me, Massimo, as long as this is done, I will never treat you badly. Whatever you want, I will promise you." Moggi has given the highest commitment he can give.
And his only purpose is to beat inter!
Even if Juve can''t win the championship in the end, he will do so, because he wants to break the so-called winning aura of Alpine for many years. He wants to show everyone that alpine, which they believe in as God, will be defeated one day.
Immersed in professional football for many years, he clearly knows that there is only one core soul of Inter Milan at present, that is, the cold.
Everyone on the team has a blind faith in the cold, they believe that as long as the cold is there, they can win.
Now, there are still four rounds left in the league. As long as we can beat Gao Han and break his unbeaten reputation, we will be able to attack Inter''s internal morale and confidence. This team may even collapse overnight.
Even if this season is not reversed in the end, there will be the next season and beyond.
After hanging up de Santis, Moggi found gilaudo''s number in the address book and called directly.
"Is everything done?" Giraudo asked on the phone with concern.
"It''s all settled. I''ve turned the referee into de Santis. He has always been our lucky star. As long as he is here, there will be no problem. The two linesmen have also been informed that there will be no problem."
But Giraudo is still a little worried, "I read the report of La Gazzetta dello Sport. It is said that there will be hundreds of media gathered from all over the world, will there be an accident?"
"Don''t worry, old rule, it will be OK." Moggi pretended to laugh easily, "the Korean people in the world cup so outrageous, it is not necessarily anything, let alone in Italy?"
Gilaudo is right when he thinks about it.
Italy is their territory for many years. What else can happen?
Even if those domestic and foreign media reports, the big deal is to push the pot to the referee, is it difficult to change the result of the game?
There is no such precedent in the world, even in the World Cup finals.
As for those referees who carry the pot, isn''t it simple?
Money for money, work for work. It''s easier to stop them than anything.
They are more proficient in this whole set of work.
"For this game, the senior management of the group also attaches great importance to it, and I have received news that Prodi is going to come to the scene in person."
Moggi frowned. "He''s going, too?"
"Well, you know, there has been a rumor that he will crack down on corruption in the country after he is elected. Some people even speculate that he will use professional football, so Berlusconi has been very low-key recently."
"I guess it''s just a slogan." Moggi is very disdainful, "he did not have much real power."
"But you can''t be careless." Giraudo warned.
Moggi didn''t care, but he nodded.
"The people from the group headquarters will also go. It will be the focus of Serie A this season. Don''t screw it up
"Don''t worry, de Santis is here. It will be OK." Moggi appears confident.
"That''s good."
After hanging up, Moggi snorted and sneered scornfully.
He didn''t pay attention to what Giraudo had reminded him about how Prodi would change when he came to power.
Only a fool can believe this kind of false election speech.
Before Berlusconi came to power that year, didn''t he promise very well?
But what happened?
He has more problems than anyone else!
So these days, the promises of politicians are simply unreliable. They are all blacker than the Mafia.
As for Berlusconi''s low-key, that''s more natural. Can he not keep a low-key?
Others may not know, but Moggi knows better than anyone. The former Prime Minister of Italy has a lot of black materials. If he dares to make a high profile, he will die quickly.
What Moggi really cares about is the high cold.
He will never let Alpine get a foothold in Italian football so easily or even win the championship.
Think of here, Moggi excited eyes full of blood, he seems to have seen the team beat Inter at the meacha stadium that moment.
In the past few years, he has always been the king of Italian football, and he is and will be.
No provocation is allowed!
Even if it''s cold!
