After Zhang Jin learned about the Daxiang team's match-fixing through Dachun, he said goodbye and left Ma Dongmei's house. After he returned to his home, he directly called Wang Duoyu and the two.

After calling twice, Wang Duoyu answered the phone, and deafening music came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey! Lao Zhang, wait a moment, it's too noisy here, I'll talk to you when I get out!"

Zhang Jin frowned slightly. From the sound of music coming from his mobile phone, he could roughly guess where the other party was.

Not long after, the deafening music turned into a blurry background, and Wang Duoyu's voice suddenly became clear: "Hey, you can talk now, what do you want from me?"

"Where are you now? Are you in a bar or disco?" Zhang Jin asked.

Wang Duoyu heard that he was a little unhappy and said quickly: "Don't worry, I am indeed in a bar and disco, but I haven't drunk a drop of wine. I still have the professionalism of a player, and I don't want to

Before I even entered the top league and became a superstar, I destroyed this body!"

"Is Zhuang Qiang also with you?"

"Yes, the third brother is also with me. He doesn't dare to drink even a drop of wine when I'm watching him!" Just as Wang Duoyu made his promise, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, it's broken! I'm coming out now.

Yes, he is still inside. If you have anything to say, please tell me. After that, I have to go in and watch him."

"Stop playing around and bring Zhuang Qiang to my villa. I have something important to ask you." Zhang Jin's tone was very serious.

When Wang Duoyu heard this, he knew that the matter must be serious, otherwise Zhang Jin would not talk to him in this tone, so he agreed: "Okay, we will go over now and see you in half an hour!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jin sat on the sofa in the living room, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about how to deal with the match-fixing matter, while waiting for the arrival of Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang.

About half an hour later, Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang rang the doorbell of the villa.

Zhang Jin stood up and opened the door to welcome the two people in. Without waiting for them to ask questions, he straight to the point stated the purpose of calling them here: "Do you know about match-fixing in the team?"

"Kick, kick what?" Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment.

Zhuang Qiang opened his eyes wide and said: "Playing match-fixing? Who is it? Our team!"

Before Zhang Jin could answer, Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes at Zhuang Qiang: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course you are talking about our team. Who is in the mood to care about whether other teams play match-fixing? It doesn't matter anyway.

.”

Zhuang Qiang looked confused: "But how could someone in our team play match-fixing? We haven't lost a game recently!"

"That's right, it's just a few draws." Wang Duoyu nodded in agreement and said to Zhang Jin, "You said someone in our team is playing match-fixing. Where did you get the news?"

"Dachun told me." Zhang Jin told how Dachun accidentally overheard the match-fixing.

"You said he hid inside the mascot puppet and overheard it. Then why did he hide inside the mascot puppet?"

"Don't you know Duoyu, Dachun? You silly guy, it's not unusual at all to do something like this. But I've always been curious, why is our mascot puppet a chicken?" Zhuang Qiang said.

"How many times have I said it, that's an eagle, not a chicken!" Wang Duoyu corrected.

"Really? I thought it was chicken. Every time I see it, I can't help but think of Kentucky Fried Chicken."

"Come on, you're just hungry, don't make any excuses!"

Zhang Jin saw that the two guys were getting further and further away from each other, so he quickly put them back and forth on the subject: "Forget about the mascot, what we have to pay attention to now is the matter of match-fixing! Have I said before that match-fixing is absolutely not allowed in the team?

Even if you lose, you must be upright!

Duoyu, third brother, you promised me before that you would never cover up players who play match-fixing, no matter how good their relationship with you is, do you still remember these words?"

"Of course I remember! The day I came back from Serie A and joined the team, I solemnly swore that I would rely on my own strength to reach the stage of the top league and resolutely draw a clear line from gambling, match-fixing and other bad behaviors!" Wang Duoyu said loudly.

"Me too!" Zhuang Qiang agreed.

"Very good! Then I will leave this matter to you. I will tell you the names of the players involved. Whether you convince them or find evidence, I hope that this matter will be completely resolved before the end of League A and B."

." Zhang Jin said.

Wang Duoyu patted his chest and assured: "No problem, leave it to me to solve it."

After two years of development, everyone in the Daxiang team respects him as the captain, and those thorns have basically been cleared away. There are only two voices in the team, one is the head coach, and the other is Wang Duoyu

.

"Tell them that as long as they take the initiative to admit their mistakes, the team can forget about it. Otherwise, they will have to go to court!" Zhang Jin said unceremoniously.

All player contracts have regulations that prohibit match-fixing. Violators will be fined ten times their annual salary and be expelled from the team.

Wang Duoyu nodded to express his understanding. Zhuang Qiang suddenly asked: "It's not just the players who are involved in match-fixing. The coach must also be involved. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Of course it will be dealt with severely, directly expelled or even exposed!" Zhang Jin said.

He is not afraid of these players getting into trouble with the coach. Firstly, he is in control, and secondly, he has money, so what can these losers do to fight with him?

After discussing this matter, Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang went back to the club. With the problem of match-fixing, they were not in the mood to have fun and relax.

Zhang Jin believes that Wang Duoyu will not live up to his expectations. After all, even when he was in poverty in the movie, Wang Duoyu still adhered to the bottom line of a player and was not bribed by Jim Carrey!

When it comes to match-fixing, he can always trust Wang Duoyu.

As for Zhuang Qiang, he wears the same pants as Wang Duoyu, so it is impossible for him to go against Wang Duoyu.

After leaving the player matters to Wang Duoyu and the others, Zhang Jin called Manager Liu and Coach Hao to come see him.

The reason why I chose to meet them at the villa was because there were so many people in the club that they might be alerted.

Secondly, transferring them out of the club will also make it easier for Wang Duoyu to inquire and investigate the players. After all, no one can be 100% sure that they have nothing to do with the match-fixing case.

In about forty minutes, Manager Liu and Coach Hao arrived at the villa almost at the same time.

"Drink water." Zhang Jin poured a glass of water for each of them.

Manager Liu and Coach Hao thanked each other repeatedly and exchanged glances, both hoping to get some useful information from the other party.

Zhang Jin saw all the little moves of the two people and didn't say anything. After sitting down on the sofa again, he slowly said: "I called you all here this time because I have a very serious issue to discuss with you.

Let’s talk.”

"I wonder what the serious problem is?" Manager Liu asked.

"It's about our team's match-fixing," Zhang Jin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Liu had a look of astonishment on his face, and Coach Hao categorically denied it on the spot: "Chairman Zhang, you said our team plays match-fixing? This is absolutely impossible! As the head coach, I can assure you

Absolutely no one is playing match-fixing!

Yes, we did not win these games, but this does not mean that we played match-fixing. It is just that sometimes the players are not in particularly good condition, are not able to seize opportunities on the court, and the passing may not be so accurate! But everyone is very good

He is fighting hard and I can see it clearly from the sidelines!"

"Old Hao, don't worry, let Chairman Zhang explain the matter clearly first." Manager Liu comforted him, but in his heart he was a little murmuring at Coach Hao's excited performance.

Zhang Jin said calmly: "Coach Hao, if I am not certain, I will not come to you to discuss this matter, so you should not continue to struggle with this issue. I hope you will focus on how to solve it."

On the issue of match-fixing.”

Coach Hao immediately expressed his position: "I don't know about this matter, and I don't think my players have played match-fixing, but if Chairman Zhang can come up with conclusive evidence, I will definitely not cover them up. How to deal with it?"

How to deal with it!"

Manager Liu also quickly said: "I mean the same thing. Who are the players that Chairman Zhang knows about match-fixing?"

"Liu Yang, Pan Dasheng..." Zhang Jin named several names, all of which were mentioned by Dachun.

After listening to what he said, Coach Hao and Manager Liu looked at each other and felt cold sweat break out on their backs. These people were basically the main players and important substitutes. They didn't expect it to be so wide-ranging.

Manager Liu said: "I didn't expect that a coach was also involved. This was an oversight on my part. Don't worry, Chairman Zhang. I will definitely do a deep self-examination after this matter is dealt with!"

"It's useless to just know the name. The top priority is that we need to find evidence that they are match-fixing."

Coach Hao has a lot on his mind. He was ostracized by the top team circles because he didn't follow the trend and didn't engage in such messy things. Now that this phenomenon has happened under his own leadership, it's a slap in his face.

"As for the players, I've already asked people to find out. You two are mainly starting from the coach and other teams that engage in match-fixing." Zhang Jin said, "Manager Liu, I asked you to prepare the standings and schedule over the phone.

come yet?"

"Bring them all." Manager Liu took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over.

Zhang Jin took the document and opened it on the coffee table. Then he picked up a pen and drew several circles on the standings and schedule, and circled several teams.

"It's these three teams. Our players played match-fixing in the games against these three teams."

Manager Liu and Coach Hao looked down and then looked at each other. They couldn't see any problem.

Coach Hao said: "Chairman Zhang, I don't understand. These three teams are indeed close to the relegation zone. If they want to play match-fixing, why not just win the game but buy a tie? Isn't three points better than no points?"

?”

Zhang Jin sneered: "Of course they want to win, but they don't have the ability yet. Do you remember the list of players they bought before? They were basically midfielders.

The main reason is probably that the opponent was unable to buy out the foreign aid trident in the frontcourt, and the backcourt was firmly controlled by Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang. The coach who pulled the strings probably knew about their relationship with me, and was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not contact me.

Buy off the defender.

The midfielder is the team's offensive and defensive hub. Once the midfielder is paralyzed, the team's overall offensive and defensive rhythm will be ruined.

Although there is no way to buy out the forwards and defenders, by buying out the midfielder, we can cut off the support of the forwards, create dangerous situations in the backcourt of our team, and help the opponent get more offensive opportunities."

After hearing this explanation, Manager Liu nodded in understanding, while Coach Hao said with a confused look on his face: "No wonder, I thought it was strange at the time. The strength of these three teams was average, and their previous tactics were basically the same.

The main focus was on counterattack, but when they played against us, they used a high-pressure press, forcing our ball to go from the backcourt to the frontcourt!

And several times it was because our midfielders were forced to make passing errors, which led to dangerous situations and conceding goals. Thinking about it this way, the reason why the opponent changed their previous tactics was to cooperate with the bribed midfielders!"
