Seeing that it seems that Tonali's situation has been much more serious than that of the other boy, 10 months seems like a good sentence for us. We can be happy because when the news broke in Italy, it was said that according to the regulations, betting on the same team you play for can cause you a 3-year suspension. In the end, for us it means facing everything that remains of this season without him, but now being able to start counting on him in the next one. Really, if we do things right, we have Longstaff for that position who already did very well last year and we have Anderson who has taken a step forward this season. If we can get a player on loan in the January window (Phillips, Neves or whoever) we can really save this setback well. Now we have to see how it affects the player, if he manages to get his career back on track and how missing the European Championship 2024 with Italy this summer also affects him.

KP. I think Neves is a player to play in the Bruno place. And KP could fit better in both Tonali and Bruno.
-
I want Kalvin Phillips on loan in January to get the Tonali seat. With a buying option.
-
But it is exactly the info O Jogo gave in past June. I mean, I think is just a past rumour.

Corriera dela Sera says today that Tonali is negotiating with the Prosecutor's Office to reduce his sanction and be free now. He probably admits to having bet on football and Serie A, but never on Milan matches, so his sanction could be reduced to one year or less.
-
According to what I have read in some Italian media, if Milan knew about the story and has not communicated anything to Newcastle, Milan would also be sanctioned (I don't know what type of sanction) because it would be considered fraud.

The Athletic says that was a similar case with Vittorio Micolucci in Ascoli and he was banned 14 months.

Well. I have been reading several things in the Italian press. We must be careful. Apparently, Tonali has admitted that he has a gambling problem and has said that he is going to do everything he can to get his penalty reduced and that he is already trying to find a plan to deal with his problems. Apparently, the other investigated player (Fagioli) has accused Tonali of having helped him with betting (that is, he was the one who introduced him to the subject) by teaching him how different applications worked. And Tonali is going to admit all. There is a part that I don't understand very well, but there is talk that they could commit a sporting crime and, apparently, if one of the things on which he has bet has come true (for example, that a player sees a yellow card) It would be considered a sporting crime and the minor penalty that could be imposed would be 4 years of disqualification. (I understand that this has to have many nuances). But they already assume that he will not return to the national team for a long time and that he will not be able to play in the European Championship if Italy qualifies.

Correct. In fact, the regulations are already completely within UEFA. Trippier was suspended by the FA for 10 weeks for not being able to play (when he was at Atleti) for a bet committed when he was still at Tottenham and the sanction was extended to Atleti.
-
Looks like this player is Zaniolo with Roma matches.
-
Tonali has just left the national team camp after being questioned by the police
-
He has only played 30 minutes, but very good actions by Minteh in Atleti-Feyenoord. He has played as a false 9, falling to the right a lot.

I think if the word is buy, he's not the right one. PS: In Spain there have always been jokes that Casillas is a stingy person who doesn't spend any money. In Spain there have always been jokes that he is a stingy person who doesn't spend any money. And his own teammates from Real Madrid and the national team always joked about that. PS2: I know him personally because he has lived all his life in the neighborhood right next to mine (In fact, the street next to my house was renamed a few years ago Iker Casillas Street in his honor.) and I can say that he is one of the worst people I have ever met in my life with various despicable acts (his parents are continually being kicked out of shopping centers from the area because they try to steal all kinds of things). -

I think that all or almost all of us agree that it is enough because the intention is to obtain arbitration benefits. But we do not know how the law works and according to some 'expert' commentator who has said these days on television programs, it has to be demonstrated that this intention existed (because officially, I say, the payments are justified as payments for services in which the arbitrator did work scouter in videos). In any case, the case has been going on for a year and is still in its first phase. So this is going to be very long yet. -

I don't really understand much about law so I don't know where the case may end up. What the judge says is that Barcelona made those payments to the second chief referee with the intention of receiving a favorable arbitration. In my opinion, that alone should be enough to sanction them. The fact is that now they are seeking to know if the second chief referee really did something to get the referees to help Barcelona or simply kept the money and 'swindled them'. I really believe that the Spanish League cannot lose Barcelona because they would lose more than 35% of the product they sell (Here, Real Madrid and Barcelona take 70% of everything in terms of money and television coverage). The fact is that, from what I have been able to learn in recent days, the judge handling the case is not a 'serious person' either, he really likes putting on a show and has handled several media cases in which he has liked to accuse almost everyone and then had to turn back. Without going any further, apparently, the case was not his, he has illegally taken it from a colleague at the court and now that is also being investigated. Personally, I think it is very difficult for Barcelona to be punished in sports because the only real proof there is is a document through which Barcelona makes those payments to that man in exchange for some video tapes of reports from other matches. It smells very bad, but there is no evidence against it. I think that only if UEFA or FIFA entered could something happen sportingly speaking. -
Well. I think that if we talk about bad luck, the people of Atleti can give a few classes on it. We have always been called in a derogatory way 'El Pupas' which is something like saying that something bad always happens to us (Pupa is a way of saying hurt). We have played 3 UEFA Champions League finals in our life. -We lost one against Bayern in injury time in 1974 with a shot from more than 35 meters in the last action of the match. -We lost another in the 94th minute in 2014 against Real Madrid. -We lost another on penalties against Real Madrid in 2016 after we missed a penalty in regulation time and Real Madrid scored their goal clearly offside. The history of Atleti is full of moments of this style. I don't know if you remember the 'comical' situation that occurred last year in the group stage between Atleti and Bayer Leverkusen. Atleti needed to score a goal to stay alive in the competition. The referee whistled the end of the game. And when people were already leaving the stadium and the players were going to the locker room tunnel, the VAR said that there was a penalty in favor. Carrasco missed it, the rebound fell to Saúl, who hit the crossbar and the rebound fell again to Carrasco, who shot into an empty goal and, when the ball was almost in, it hit one of our players, Reinildo, and he left. out. I saw that game in the stadium with a friend who was going for the first time. I already knew that we were not going to score that penalty. She is still in disbelief about what happened. For me it was just another day being an Atleti fan.

Well, it's been a pretty difficult and ugly game on our part. I think we have overcome the most difficult part with those 5-6 stops by Pope in the first 20 minutes. So a point out wouldn't be bad at all. I think it's time for Barnes, Wilson and Almirón to come in and try to catch them on a counterattack.
