All the 34th round of Serie D matches have been played.

The top three in the standings all won, and Bisceglie still relied on his victory advantage to overtake Francavilla and ranked second.

But Palermo, who was originally fourth in the standings, lost his position.

They suffered two consecutive defeats!

They are the only ones among the top six in the standings who have not won.

Sanremo overtook Palermo and ranked fourth in the standings with 66 points.

Palermo is fifth with 64 points and Catania is sixth with 63 points.

Potenza, originally seventh, dropped to eighth due to the loss, and the gap from the promotion zone was more than 12 points.

The situation in Serie D is becoming more and more obvious and chaotic.

But these changes are no longer the main news in the current Serie D league.

All news must give way to the Luyang stadium brawl.

And Lu Yang... is participating in his second remote video conference.

Participants, same as last time.

"This is probably all the information I have at present." Hans spoke a lot, mainly about the attitudes of various parties towards this matter.

Because of the timely publicity and guidance, and the fact that Manero and Sotu applauded and took the blame, most players supported Lu Yang's behavior.

The biggest enemy of professional players is injuries.

And those who deliberately cause injuries are the public enemies of all professional players.

On the one hand, Boggs has a history of destroying opposing players. He is a habitual offender.

On the other hand, anyone who has watched this game knows that Lu Yang fought with the fist of justice.

It's just against the rules of the stadium.

But you cannot expect the Italian Football Association to change the rules of the association because of this kind of public support. This is in conflict with the essence of the legal system.

"You did the right thing!" Manero was sure of Lu Yang.

"Yes, it's just that I underestimated the content of gunpowder in your blood, so this time things got a little bigger." Sotu was also a little embarrassed, "But in the long run, this will be very harmful to you and Moliq." It’s beneficial and the team will benefit from it in the future.”

The reason why I say it is the future is because Sanremo is indeed in trouble now.

Without Lu Yang, Suotu has no confidence in the upcoming schedule.

"Perhaps, we can find more stars and let them speak for Lu? Put pressure on those people from the Italian Football Association?" Alsace said. As an agent, he is best at leveraging others' strength.

"No." Lu Yang said.

Everyone stopped the discussion and looked at Lu Yang.

"After all, the Football Association is the Football Association. How can it bow its head because of some individuals? If it does, will the Italian Football Association still have dignity in the future? Then there will be many similar things in the future." Lu Yang said, "Besides, I What he did is indeed not allowed by the rules of football."

"I deserved that red card."

Everyone on the line is a human spirit. After listening to Lu Yang's words, they rolled their eyes and thought of the same point.

Lu Yang deserved that red card.

What about suspensions and fines?

Does he deserve it?

"You mean, appeal to the higher authorities?" Manero looked at Lu Yang.

Sotu shook his head and said: "According to the regulations of the Italian Football Association, the team can appeal against the referee's penalty, but the result of the appeal will not affect the result of the game. In other words, even if the Football Association approves our appeal, Lu Yang's red card and suspension will not be punished. It can’t be taken back.”

Lu Yang smiled and said: "I don't need the Football Association to take it back. The Italian Football Association also has regulations. In order to reduce unjust, false and wrong cases as much as possible, during the appeal period, players can temporarily not accept additional punishment outside the stadium."

"That is to say, as long as we maintain the appeal, then I can only accept the one-game suspension caused by the red card. Instead of accepting the additional penalty of four-game suspension! The calculation of the suspension will not start until the appeal is completed."

"Of course, the team and public opinion need to do something during this period so that this appeal can last for a month. When the Italian League is over, even if the suspension remains, it will not hurt. That will be next season. "

After Lu Yang finished speaking, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Lu Yang.

Suotu: "This... you thought of this method a long time ago, right? Otherwise, you won't be so calm after you get off the field!"

Maniero: "This is indeed a good idea! Sotu, you must communicate with the team management as soon as possible and let the team appeal!"

Alsace: "I'll go find a lawyer right away."

Hans: "I will mobilize the media and continue to speak for you."

Lu Yang nodded, then looked at Alsace: "Mr. Alsace, if we suspect that a player or referee is betting on football, is there any way we can find relevant traces?"

Alsace frowned: "You mean, do you think the referee of that game..."

"It's not just him, Boggs has a great possibility. He is not playing football at all, especially after I scored a goal, he seemed particularly angry." Lu Yang said, "He is not a person who puts the victory or defeat of the team first. A guy who, I'm pretty sure, doesn't have football in his eyes."

Alsace thought for a moment and said, "I will ask a friend to check it out."

Italian football is not a clean place.

They were even hit hard by match-fixing many years ago.

Nowadays, the rise of the Premier League and La Liga and the decline of Serie A have many influences.

Those things are extremely difficult to cure.

Match-fixing still exists in Italy today, but it may not be in high-level leagues. They are in a place where they are less likely to be discovered. They have a unified organization and are accessible to well-connected locals.

How could a big local agent like Alsace know nothing about these things?

Some agents are even related to betting parties themselves.



One day later, Sanremo Football Club filed a complaint regarding the 34th round of the league.

They believed that there was a big problem with the referee's call at the time, and believed that the punishment received by Potenza's players was far from enough. But they didn't have much opinion on Lu Yang's punishment.

This kind of complaint makes the Italian Football Association look better to a certain extent.

After all, if real fights like Lu Yang's can be washed away, then the Italian Football Association might as well organize everyone to play match-fixing.

Two days later, many people began to react.

Because according to regulations, Lu Yang's additional suspension penalty will not be executed during the appeal period.

This means that Lu Yang will only miss the 35th round of the league.

This instantly revived Sanremo fans.

Similarly, the remaining five teams in the top six in the standings were very excited. They expressed their views on the Lu Yang fight and asked the Football Association to severely punish this behavior.

But they also know that such vocalizations actually have no effect.

Because once you enter the process, everything becomes irreversible.

Just like the decision in a football match is wrong, even if it is later determined that there is something wrong with the penalty, the result of the match cannot be changed.

One day later, the attention of Italian football shifted from Lu Yang and Sanremo to Potenza's Boggs and the referee Odin of the 34th round.

According to live football reports, their accounts have experienced abnormal fluctuations all year round.

With the evidence provided by anonymous netizens, everyone can confirm that the two of them participated in gambling on a gambling website.

This report instantly triggered the fear of the Italian Football Association!

Match-fixing, it's back!

Considering that the attention of the entire European football world is also on Italy, if the Italian Football Association cannot handle this matter well, their dark history, which has been forgotten for a long time, will come back in an instant.

This is a huge blow to the commercial value of Italian football as a whole, and it is definitely not a matter of millions or tens of millions.

The Italian Football Federation quickly intervened in the investigation and quickly determined through internal data that the two were indeed involved in football betting. And he often participates in games that he knows how to play and games he knows how to enforce.

Although the two do not place bets directly, they often place bets through relatives and friends or through exchange of interests.

Don't ask why the Football Association has "inside information", everyone understands.

This matter must not be delayed for too long, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses even if it is resolved when international attention comes.

So... this Serie D football scandal only lasted for two days from the incident to the resolution.

Boggs and Odin were taken away by the police.

It is reported that they will face charges from the Italian Football Association, have a large amount of financial compensation and are destined to be jailed.

The Italian Football Association specifically told the relevant media that this matter should be handled coldly.

They urgently need something to happen that can attract everyone's attention and divert the public's attention.

And if Lu Yang is never able to participate in the game, then as a "victim of the gambling incident", more people will pay attention to this matter.

After all, if there weren't those unfair penalties, how could Lu Yang get into a fight on the green field?

But the Italian Football Association cannot slap itself in the face, and it is impossible to revoke the punishment it has imposed.

In this case, the complaint becomes the best fig leaf.

The Italian Football Federation did not rush to deal with the complaint and kept delaying it.

This means that Lu Yang will only be suspended for one game.

Of course, the team will help Lu Yang pay the fine.



In the thirty-fifth round of the Serie D League, Sofia was in the seaside villa in Sanremo.

Lu Yang and Sophia were sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV, preparing to watch the football game.

This is perhaps the biggest challenge facing Sanremo this season.

They must win this game during Lu Yang's suspension and maintain their pursuit of the teams at the top of the standings.

"Can you win?" Sofia looked at the fierce competition on the field.

"Of course! Look, that guy is Molic. With him sorting out our offense, we will definitely win." Lu Yang pointed to Molic on the screen.

"Oh, I remember this kid, the one who served the wine." Sofia said as she took out a bunch of keys, "I will be leaving Sanremo in the next period of time."

"You are still living in the team dormitory, right? I think you can live here. There are so many rooms here."

A blush appeared on Sophia's face.

She is not short of money. She owns properties in several cities in Italy.

"Ah? Here, me?" Lu Yang was stunned.

"You just want to look after the house for me? If no one takes care of it for too long, I'm afraid... You don't have to worry, I will hire someone to take care of it. You just help me... help me look after it... "Sofia's logic was a bit confusing, and even she didn't believe it in the end, "You don't have to worry about the cost of living here, just helping me look after this place is a help..."

"But there is no stadium here." Lu Yang shook his head. "Living here will not affect my participation in the team's training, but it will affect my additional training."

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything before I leave." Sophia had an idea. "Actually, I am also very interested in football. I have always wanted to build a small football field in the open space behind, but sometimes people are used to doing things alone. Delay... If you are willing to live here, I can find someone to deal with it right away, and it should be done before I leave!"

"Really?" Lu Yang was moved.

Such a big house, such good equipment, convenient electric curtains, whirlpool bathtub, electric sofa and smart home equipment... Lu Yang has come to Sophia's house not once or twice, but he still feels emotional every time he comes.

Don't ask why Lu Yang pays attention to sofas, bathtubs, etc. I can only say that the silver lining is the silver lining!

But for Lu Yang, if he had the opportunity to live in such a house, who could refuse?

"By the way, you said you were leaving for a while because the script was finalized?" Lu Yang noticed the important point in time.

Sofia was obviously happier, nodded and said: "Yes! Finally, someone has taken a liking to our script. The crew will start shooting in the near future, and it is expected to be completed within three months."

"We are going to other cities for filming, and I may be very busy during this period. I may not even be able to participate in your championship ceremony."

Sofia's words revealed her optimism for Sanremo's prospects, and the championship ceremony has come.

"It doesn't matter, take a photo of it and let people see your confident figure again, Sophia!" Lu Yang looked into Sophia's eyes.

Sophia's eyes were a little red. She was moved by Lu Yang. She slowly approached Lu Yang, her lips getting closer and closer to Lu Yang.

The atmosphere became ambiguous and the air became thicker.

The two began to secrete dopamine rapidly.

But... just at this moment, a voice came from the TV.

"Good goal! GOAL! Only five minutes into the game, Sanremo scored a goal from Vidian! This is simply incredible..."

"GOAL!" Lu Yang jumped up excitedly, they did it! They can really win! They still hope to win the final championship!

Infinite disappointment flashed across Sophia's face.

To be honest, she doesn't actually like football.

And now, she starts to hate football.

Some things and some atmospheres are gone once you miss them.

Sofia looked at Lu Yang's side face watching the ball seriously, sighed, and watched the ball with Lu Yang.

She knew that Lu Yang, who was suspended at home due to a red card, might not be in a happy mood with her at this moment.

After all, his team may create a miracle this season.

Lu Yang did not leave Sophia's home that night.

Because after the game, Sophia personally cooked a sumptuous dinner. This was her gratitude to Lu Yang, and it was impossible for Lu Yang not to accept it.

After the meal, the two discussed the filming of the plot for a long time.

Lu Yang's descriptions are always very graphic, and Sophia herself is still an immature director. The two hit it off immediately and should have more exchanges.

I don’t know how late the exchange lasted, but the two of them fell asleep on the sofa when they were tired.

the next day.

Beep beep beep.

Lu Yang was woken up by the ringtone of his cell phone.

"Hey, Lu Yang, where have you been? I haven't contacted you all night." Moliqi's voice was particularly joyful.

"I had dinner with Sophia last night. In order to avoid being disturbed, I turned on airplane mode." Lu Yang said.

"Did you go to Sofia's house again?" Morich was envious, "Did you watch our game? We won!"

"Of course I watched it. Your assists are amazing! Vidian passes and shoots. His current statistics are twenty-four goals and ten assists. It's outrageous!" Lu Yang got excited when he mentioned football. , so much so that it disturbed Sofia next to her.

"What's the sound?" Moric's ears are very good.

"It's nothing, it's Sophia. I woke her up by talking too loudly." Lu Yang whispered, "Okay, let's talk about it when we meet in the afternoon. Sophia and I fell asleep on the sofa last night. She must not have slept well. , let’s not disturb her.”

"You guys slept on the sofa?" Morich felt as if his world was about to collapse.

Last time it was the bed, this time it's the sofa?

Bed, sofa, corridor, kitchen, bathroom, dining table, balcony, just ask Lu Yang and Sophia what other places have they not tried?

Oh my God!

Why should I, a little virgin, hear this?

Isn’t this life-threatening?

Moliqi hung up the phone angrily, never wanting to hear anything from Lu Yang again.
