    Just as Florence was actively preparing for the C1 League, a piece of news from the Italian "Corriere della Sera" changed their destiny.  In this report titled "The Miracle of 500,000 Euros", Corriere della Sera revealed four teams: Roma (Serie A), Naples, Cosenza (Second Division) and SPAL (Second Division C).  The inside story of asset guarantee fraud.  According to the relevant regulations of the Italian Football Association, all clubs must re-register before the start of the new season, and one of the important tasks is to declare their financial status.  In order to meet the economic status indicators proposed by the Football Association, clubs with poor economic conditions need to issue "fund guarantee documents" from relevant banks or other financial institutions.  On July 22, the registration applications of Roma and Naples were rejected due to "insolvency".  Just six days later, four clubs, Roma (Serie A), Naples, Cosenza (Second Division) and SPAL (Second Division C), passed the Football Association's "acceptance" with asset guarantee certificates issued by the same bank, SBC.  What makes people suspicious is that SBC Bank only has 500,000 euros in assets, while Roma's debt is as high as 54 million euros, and Naples also has a deficit of 13 million euros. How can SBC Bank's assets of 500,000 euros qualify as a loan for four companies with astronomical liabilities?  Club guarantee?  The day after the news broke, SBC Bank President Franco Yomi claimed he knew nothing about the guarantee.  Cynthia Rua, the bank's former managing director, stated that her signature on the guarantee was forged.  After the window paper was pierced, Italian Football Association President Carraro met with Berlusconi's confidant and assistant Letta in an emergency meeting. After consultation, they promoted that Roma and Naples were not at risk, but Italian Olympic Committee President Petrucci asked the Football Association to proceed.  investigation.  ?Then the Rome District Court intervened in the investigation.  The gendarmerie searched the headquarters of four clubs involved in the case, including Roma, and confiscated documents related to registration.  Looking at what happened, Roma General Manager Baldini revealed that it was the secretary of the review committee, Tourchetti, who asked SBC Bank to provide a guarantee.  The club was completely "misled".  Turchetti announced his resignation under pressure, but stated that his behavior did not violate any rules.  A blockbuster news sparked a dog-eat-dog battle between the club, the bank and the Football Association. Although all three claimed they were innocent and tried to deceive the fans, reporters and industry insiders saw clearly that none of the three was a good bird.  After the "fake bank guarantee incident" was revealed, the C1 and C2 teams that had been standing by and watched went crazy. Everyone knows that if these four teams cannot find guarantees and pay off their debts, they will definitely go bankrupt. Luck  Fortunately, there is a guarantee that it will be relegated to C2 like Fiorentina. If you are unlucky, you may be sent to the amateur league.  In this way, one position will be vacated in Serie A, two positions will be vacated in Serie B, and one position will be vacated in C1. This is an unexpected event. There are no examples to refer to, and there are no regulations to fill this vacancy. Now for Serie B  For teams C, C1 and C2, they just want to show off their talents and see who has the chance to get these pieces of fat.  The first to react was the relegated Atalanta. They announced on their official website that club president Ruggieri had sent formal letters requesting promotion to the Italian Football Association, the National Olympic Committee, the Ministry of Culture and other relevant departments.  The announcement read: "Atalanta denies the list of league teams published by the Football Association on July 30/31, 2003, because some clubs in this list were registered using improper means." Ruggie  Lee claimed that Atlanta and all other clubs are very concerned about the current investigation into the false accounting issues of clubs such as Roma. "Those responsible clubs can only have one result, and that is to be removed from their respective leagues. Any  Other decisions are impossible to accept. Piacenza, another team downgraded to Serie B, firmly believes that the time to cross the threshold of Serie A has arrived: "I really don't want to see these clubs have such difficulties, but they are promoted to Serie A."  Serie A is not our fault.  " Fiorentina is not as naked as Atlanta and Piacenza. Club president Della Valle said that although they are not willing to take advantage of others, it would be great to be promoted to C1, "but if we are really called into Serie B  If so, we are ready.  " Della Valle is indeed ready. He did not wait passively like Atalanta, nor did he attack Football Association Chairman Carolla like Piacenza, asking him to resign and apologize. As a successful businessman, a football player who is familiar with the Italian football circle  Consultant, Della Valle believes that this "fake bank guarantee incident" is not purely a football incident, but actually involves a political struggle in Italian football. Carraro, the president of the Italian Football Association, is essentially a politician. In fact, as a socialist.  , he has served as an Italian government minister and mayor of Rome, and his opponent is the National League Chairman and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Fini. In the recent relegation dispute in Catania, the National League Party was behind the scenes.??Black hands, the current bank guarantee incident is probably also a trap set up by the National Alliance.  Although since Carraro became chairman of the Football Association, the budget review of the club has been ineffective and full of loopholes.  However, Italian football is full of insider information. It is no longer the small World Cup it was before, and its current prosperity is nothing more than a centipede.  At present, all Italian football clubs owe a total debt of 500 million euros to the government, including arrears of taxes and contributions from social security funds.  The findings were drawn by a group of independent economic analysts in Italy.  As of the end of June this year, at the end of last season, it covers clubs in the Italian Leagues A, B and C.  The research report focused on the analysis of "Italy's chaotic financial situation", and the money owed by clubs to the state has been "growing geometrically". As recently as 2000, the total debt owed by those clubs to the government was only 106 million euros.  Thanks to the agreement signed with the Football Association and the social security funds injected in installments, the club is still maintaining operations.  However, just the 500 million euros in debt owed to the government is still not the whole story.  Adding up all the arrears, the club's debt is 3.2 billion euros. The reason for this situation is that a large number of loans obtained by the club from banks have turned into bad debts, and the complicated "triangular debt" management between clubs due to player transfers.  There is no clue, and the clubs rely on "sky-high" wages to support their players, and some clubs even blatantly rely on so-called "transfers" to create false accounts.  None of this is the responsibility of Carraro alone. If Carraro steps down, all kinds of insider information will be exposed, and Italian football will be unable to deal with it. Therefore, the final result is likely to be a reconciliation, with teams that have no impact being targeted, and then everything will be business as usual.  Continue until the balloon explodes.  So Della Valle actively communicated with Carraro in private and sought the support of wealthy clubs such as Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and the struggling Roma.  Sure enough, the development of the incident was completely within Della Valle's expectation. First, Italian Olympic Committee President Gianni Petrucci said on the 12th that although Italian football is facing the problem of fake bank guarantees, Italy will not be able to compete in the new season.  The football league will still start as scheduled on August 31. ? Then CAPI, one of the largest banks in Italy.  TALLIA Bank promised to pay Roma and Naples up to 30 million euros in liabilities, and Roma and Naples got away.  C2 team SPAL's debt is only 500,000 euros, and SBC Bank has the qualifications to guarantee it.  However, Serie B's Cosenza's debt reached 11 million euros. Until the deadline set by the Italian Football Association, they neither found a bank to guarantee nor raised the money to repay the debt. How to deal with them has become the biggest concern of the entire Italian football world.  thing, because if Cosenza is relegated to the C2 league like Florence, Serie B will have a vacant spot, and the 20 teams in C1 will all have a chance.  On the evening of August 27, the Italian Football Association held an important meeting at its headquarters to study and deal with the Cosenza Club. The meeting was held at 4 p.m. At this time, all the C1 teams had no intention of training and were waiting for the results of the meeting.  In Florence's training base, the players only trained for an hour before they all sat together and discussed whether Florence had a chance to advance. Head coach Kasingwa and assistant coach Daniel had already sat in front of club manager Gary.  In the office, they are also waiting anxiously.  Seeing that the meeting was still not over at six o'clock, Kasingwa said anxiously: "This matter is not without precedent. How did we downgrade and why did we take so long." Daniel said: "We downgraded because of economic problems.  Now that we have no debts and the economy is good, it is time for us to return to Serie A." Galli held the phone tightly in one hand, waved to the two coaches, and said: "Don't worry, I don't know how many clubs are waiting for this spot.  , Mr. Della Valle is active, our hopes are not small, but Pisa also has a chance. They were third in C1 last season. According to normal principles, if Cosen is down, they should go up. They are also now  Be active. " "Okay, these idiots from the Football Association are so inefficient, Daniel, give me a cigarette." Kasingwa lit up the cigarette and took a long puff. The result of this meeting is very important to him. If Florence.  After being promoted to Serie B, the team he had just formed had to be overthrown and started all over again, but he had no time. There were only three days until the transfer was completed. Time was a victory for him now.  Soon the meeting had lasted for three hours. Daniel went to the stadium to announce the disbandment of the team, but no players were willing to leave. They all got the gossip and knew that the club owner Della Valle was secretly operating, and Florence had a lot of opportunities.  Being selected into Serie B and being able to play in Serie B is a dream for most players nowadays.  FourTime passed and the meeting was still not over. Seeing that the players still had not left, manager Gary arranged for them to have dinner in the restaurant and then went to the conference room together to wait for the results of the meeting.  At 8:45, Galli received a call from Chairman Della Valle. After answering the phone, Galli was overjoyed and lowered his voice to the players and coaches in the conference room: "That's almost it. " "Ah!  Very good!  "The conference room was full of jubilation. "But we still have to wait and watch TV. We can only be sure after it is announced.  "Gali calmed down and asked everyone to wait patiently. There was no sound in the conference room except breathing. Everyone was staring at the TV, as if the finals were coming to the last moment. Every minute and every second was crucial to them. Nine o'clock  When the clock ticked, the five-hour meeting finally ended. Football Association President Carraro appeared on the TV screen. He first announced the punishment for Cosenza, relegating him to the C2 League, and then announced: "Replacing Cosenza.  It was Fiorentina who entered Serie B. This was the result of many discussions. We finally chose Fiorentina to upgrade as a reward for their sportsmanship and outstanding contribution to Italian football.  ¡± The conference room suddenly turned into a sea of ??joy, and no one listened to the schedule and rules announced by Carraro later. The Fiorentina fans who got the news at almost the same moment also fell into madness. They poured into the streets to celebrate Fiorentina¡¯s victory.  This time, due to the financial crisis, the Fiorentina club declared bankruptcy in the summer of 2002 and was later downgraded to Category C 2. However, under the leadership of veterans Di Livio, Chen Yu and Rigano, Fiorentina entered the league last season.  Level C1, and this time due to the "Serie B case", this former giant has become the biggest beneficiary. They jumped two levels in a row within a year. Now, they are only one step away from Serie A!
