Chapter 797 Food is the original sin!
The British media is hailed as the ancestor of the world's paparazzi, and this is absolutely true.
Especially some media under News Corporation, such as the Sun, or the Sunday edition of the Sun and the News of the World.
As we all know, the most famous girls in The Sun are the Page 3 girls. Almost countless women who are eager to become famous are proud to be on Page 3 of The Sun, and these women will do everything they can to hype up football stars.
The News of the World is no exception. Although they won't hype up Page 3 girls like The Sun does, they are always able to dig out explosive news and frequently boost sales. The key is that British readers particularly like their way of playing.
Some people say that the British media always vacillates between creating and destroying stars.
When they want to praise you, they will blow up even your fart in various ways. But when they think they have raised you enough and it is time to kill you, they will not hesitate to release all kinds of explosive information to completely destroy you.
Whether it is creating stars or destroying stars, there is only one purpose, that is sales.
English football has been plagued by scandals over the past period of time.
First there was Terry's friend's wife scandal, then Manchester City's Bridge was also involved, then there was Rooney's recruitment scandal, then there was Crouch's cheating scandal, and now it's Beckham's cheating on his lawyer that led to his divorce. These shocking revelations come one after another, continuously, shocking the entire English football world, and even the European football world.
I knew that the professional football world was chaotic, but I didn't know it was to this extent. It's really jaw-dropping.
From Chelsea to Manchester United to Tottenham Hotspur, perhaps feeling that Manchester City, the current leader of the Premier League, also has great hype value, the News of the World quickly broke a bombshell.
Before England prepared for the national team match against Montenegro, England national team goalkeeper Joe Hart and his teammate Gareth Barry went to a bar in Banus, Spain to party all night.
If that's all, then it's nothing.
As for drinking, everyone in the world knows that the biggest trouble for English players is alcoholism and gambling. Although things have improved a lot in recent years, there are still many such news reports. So for English players, drinking and gambling are not a scandal, but rather something they are used to and do not arouse much interest.
Of course the News of the World would not report such boring news.
They posted an intimate photo of Joe Hart, drunk, hugging hot girls on stage.
The owner of this bar is England's legendary striker Lineker. Joe Hart and Gareth Barry both went there specially to show their support. This is also the norm in the circle of professional players. After all, professional players are young and always have to make some plans for their future, so it is normal for them to support each other and invest in each other.
The key issue is that Joe Hart and Gareth Barry partied in the bar for two consecutive nights and called two blondes. The first time they drank until three in the morning, and the second time was even more outrageous, they drank until five in the morning.
The most important thing is that the News of the World has repeatedly hinted that Joe Hart is surrounded by girls and even asked a blonde to spend the night with him.
You know, Joe Hart is a girlfriend's man.
In other words, he cheated! From Terry's friend's wife scandal, to Rooney's recruitment scandal, to Crouch's cheating scandal, and now, even England's goalkeeper has cheated, just ask, how much of a stir would this cause in English football?
Not only that, the News of the World also did not let Gareth Barry go.
As we all know, the Manchester City midfielder is Capello's favorite player and is married. Now he is openly drinking and having fun with hot girls in a nightclub, and is even suspected of cheating. How can people not pay attention to this? If it is just like this, it would be fine.
But the problem is that in the subsequent match between England and Montenegro at home, England drew 0-0 with Montenegro.
England failed to beat Montenegro at home, which meant they continued to be ranked second in the group, while Montenegro ranked first. This caused the England national team to be criticized after the game. The worst thing was that both Gareth Barry and Joe Hart performed very poorly throughout the game.
Gareth Barry, in particular, was rewarded with an extremely rare low score of three points by Sky Sports after the game.
You know, except for Gareth Barry, the lowest score of both teams in the game was five points.
Rooney, Crouch and Joe Hart, England internationals who were successively exposed by the media for scandals, all scored five points and their performance was unsatisfactory. As for Terry and Beckham, who was involved in a lawyer's divorce case and suspected of cheating, both of them failed to enter the national team.
Suddenly, the entire British media was in an uproar.
People also attacked Gareth Barry, Joe Hart and others, believing that they were the culprits for the team's failure to beat Montenegro. If the team missed the European Cup in the future, the two would be England's number one culprits.
Public opinion quickly fermented, and after the war between England and Montenegro, a huge uproar was caused in the UK in a very short period of time.
It was also in this situation that Manchester City urgently contacted Su Dong who was far away in Oxford.
…………
…………
As the captain of the team, this was the first time Su Dong had encountered such a thing.
When he was at Bayern, captain Kahn’s affair scandal caused a lot of controversy, but Su Dong was just a spectator at the time.
But now, he is the captain of the team.
After returning to Manchester from Oxford without stopping, Su Dong went directly to the office at the Etihad Stadium.
"You are finally back. Everyone is here, waiting for you!"
When technical director Begiristain saw Su Dong, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called him to the meeting room.
On the way, he briefly explained the situation.
The public opinion outside is very intense now. The England national team only has one game in October. Joe Hart and Gareth Barry will return to the club after the game, but the media has no intention of letting them go.
The question now is, should Manchester City come out and make a statement? For example, give the players some punishment? This is actually a very vague area, because the players went out to the bar while participating in the national team game. If we really want to investigate, it should be the responsibility of the England national team, but now Capello clearly does not want to intervene in these matters.
"You know, England, from fans to the media, has always had a high opinion of itself. In their minds, they are the favorites every time, so every time they lose, they want to find a scapegoat, such as Beckham in 1998 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2006."
"It's not a big defeat, nor have we been eliminated, we just failed to grab first place in the group. But this is still unacceptable to English fans because this is a home game and Gareth Barry's performance was really too bad."
Begiristain took Su Dong on a quick walk and spoke so quickly that he was almost out of breath.
"According to the information we have received, what the media reported is true, but neither of them let those women spend the night with them. They just went to Lineker's bar to show their support and did drink a lot of alcohol. You know, there are many women who take the initiative to come up to him at that kind of occasion. A woman named Valerie kept pestering Joe Hart. The video is likely to have been leaked by her."
Su Dong stopped and slowly sorted out the current situation.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon.
Many fans cannot understand that professional football is actually a world of fame and fortune.
Countless women who desire fame try every possible means to get in touch with the stars, not to mention drinking and spending the night with them, they are willing to do anything, even to bear children for them, and even to attend all kinds of debauched parties.
Because as long as they hook up with a football star, their value will immediately increase a hundredfold, and they may even be featured on Page Three of the Sun and become famous overnight.
This is a path that has been proven to be feasible by countless people.
Many basketball stars also use this method to make girlfriends, so they change girlfriends very frequently.
Not to mention Ronnie, even someone like Jose Semedo is never short of women around him. They will even use Semedo's relationship to hook up with Ronnie and Sudong. If they succeed and expose it to the media, the momentum will be ten or a hundred times greater than Terry's friend's wife scandal.
"There is video evidence that Joe Hart and Gareth Barry did violate the rules!" Su Dong said lightly.
On the way here, Su Dong had already watched those videos, and it was obvious that they were taken by someone on purpose.
Unfortunately, no one cares how the video was filmed now. They will only ask Joe Hart and Gareth Barry to take responsibility.
If the two had performed well in the subsequent match against Montenegro, there probably wouldn't be such news.
Unfortunately, they messed it up and Gareth Barry had the worst performance of the game.
Looking at the news, everyone's first reaction is that Gareth Barry and Joe Hart performed poorly in the game because they went to nightclubs and seduced blondes before the game, and you should be held responsible.
To some extent, this logic is correct.
Professional players, even international players, should be scolded if they can't play well! Being bad is the original sin!
"Do you also think he should be punished?" Begiristain looked at Su Dong and asked.
Su Dong shook his head. "Now I think the most important thing is not whether to punish them or not, but to protect them. We should try our best to control public opinion and prevent it from continuing to ferment. At the same time, we should also downplay the situation. It would be best to let Joe Hart and Gareth Barry disappear for a while and not let the media continue to hold on to them."
It is entirely conceivable that if they appear in the weekend league and perform well, the media will definitely hype that they are not working hard for the national team, and the fans will be even more dissatisfied. If they do not perform well, they will continue to hype them up.
To put it bluntly, Manchester City is still too weak in this regard. It has no foundation and its relationship with the media is not particularly good.
If it was a top club like Manchester United, Ferguson would definitely have received the news in advance and dealt with it quickly afterwards.
Compared to Rooney's recruitment, Joe Hart and Gareth Barry's clubbing, what is this? Begiristain pondered for a moment, nodded, and immediately called Su Dong in for a meeting.
General Manager Soriano, head coach Guardiola, and people from the public relations department were all present.
