Chapter 1831 - 489: I Told You to Top Up, and You Really Did?
"Will this matter affect the relationship between Juventus and AC Milan?"
"..."
Marotta’s face showed no smile.
Precisely because that fool Delneri laid the cards on the table, they’re now stuck.
After all, Delneri is still the head coach of Juventus.
If really pushed, and Delneri insists it was Juventus or at his instigation, no one would have it easy.
So right now, whether they like it or not, they must protect Delneri.
Marotta kept shaking his head and said, "Fake, it’s all fake, they found someone whose voice is very similar to Luigi’s to act, it’s all fake."
No matter what the reporters asked, Marotta would say it’s fake.
The reporters also had no good way around it.
Half an hour later, Marotta returned to his office, sweating.
When he left Sampdoria in the summer, he never thought he’d encounter such a thing.
Marotta simply could not understand, Delneri isn’t stupid, how could he let the journalists toy with him?
Now, it’s a mess: Juventus is embroiled in a public relations crisis.
If Milan kept pressing on this issue, Juventus’s upper management might go through a major reshuffle.
The Turin prosecutor might even try to make trouble for him.
Many of this city’s power brokers support Torino FC.
Thinking of this, Marotta quickly called Gagliani.
On this matter, Milan and Huang Kaiwen’s stance is crucial.
...
Later in the evening.
Gagliani personally went to Kevin’s house and waited there until past eight when Miss Berlusconi returned home.
The restless Gagliani finally said, "Miss Berlusconi, Juventus contacted us hoping to let this matter settle quietly."
"Impossible!"
The princess immediately refused.
If anyone dares to target Huang Kaiwen, she would absolutely not let them off.
Gagliani looked at Huang Kaiwen with a wry smile.
Huang Kaiwen smiled as he walked over, wrapping his arm around the princess’s shoulder and said, "The Italian football world can’t withstand another scandal. Plus, Juventus’s existence benefits us; the more strong teams in the league, the better for our development. Italian inherently doesn’t have a dissemination advantage, Serie A indeed can’t endure more upheaval."
"Then should we just let this matter go?"
The princess pouted and asked.
"Let it go? Of course not!"
Suddenly, a coin appeared between Huang Kaiwen’s fingers, and after it spun around, he said, "Send Agnelli and Delneri two bubble tea cards, let them load them to show their sincerity. Also, have Delneri write a guarantee that includes Juventus’s name. If they provoke us in the future, we’ll expose this matter. Furthermore, check Juventus’s youth academy for any talents, make Juventus transfer the ownership of some players. By the end of the season, Delneri must leave Juventus regardless of his achievements..."
Gagliani was already sweating, wondering if Juventus would agree to such terms.
If they really throw Delneri out, it won’t be much trouble besides the public uproar.
After all, Juventus is backed by the Agnelli Family.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen make numerous demands, the princess finally smiled.
Huang Kaiwen pinched her chin and said, "Actually, that fool was just deceived, I didn’t really suffer any damage, so exploiting Juventus in the meantime is more practical."
"Anyway, whatever you say is right, let’s do as you say."
The princess, slightly embarrassed, snorted and said.
"Albert."
"Sir!"
Albert bowed and asked.
"Align the media angle, say it’s a conspiracy by ’World Sports News’, don’t drag the Brits into it, that way the Brits will happily watch World Sports News become a laughingstock, after all, they also dislike Murdoch."
Huang Kaiwen said.
"Understood, Sir."
Albert nodded and said.
This method could indeed easily help clear suspicion from Juventus, after all, ’World Sports News’ has too many precedents; they’re still embroiled in lawsuits now.
"What does that mean?"
The princess asked curiously.
She really didn’t know as much about the situation in England as Huang Kaiwen did.
"This way, it won’t implicate other British media while preserving the image of Italian football." Huang Kaiwen explained, "If we involved all British media, this lie might be exposed, but without implicating Britain and English football, they’re happy to see a peer embarrass themselves, especially considering ’World Sports News’ owner is foreign."
"What if Juventus doesn’t agree, wouldn’t it be a boon for them?"
The princess tilted her head and asked.
Huang Kaiwen tapped her on the head and with a feigned annoyance said, "Don’t come home and stop thinking, if Juventus doesn’t agree, just say those media are bribed, then Juventus will face more trouble!"
Gagliani’s sweat was even more pronounced now.
Somewhat relieved, he had always been flattering Huang Kaiwen.
In his view, Huang Kaiwen’s few words laid out an already outstanding strategy.
The princess clung to Huang Kaiwen’s neck and acted coquettishly, "I’m already so tired, of course, I don’t want to think when I get home."
Huang Kaiwen hugged her, smiled, and nodded to Gagliani.
Gagliani quickly stood up and bid farewell.
At least Huang Kaiwen’s attitude towards him was good, indicating he was already in the circle.
The next day.
The day before Juventus’s match against Milan.
Italian media unified their position.
"Milan Sports Newspaper": "This is a shameless conspiracy by ’World Sports News’. After the Emgate scandal, they want to create another Eriksson incident, they want big news, but they picked the wrong target. Luigi Delneri isn’t that kind of person, we have reason to believe it’s a fabricated lie. Faced with such a bottomless media, we urge the world to unite in boycott."
