Ever since Sandro Tonali admitted to gambling on AC Milan while he was still at the club, the media has questioned the Rossoneri’s involvement. A ‘systematic’ attack, as Luca Serafini describes it.
The Tonali news broke last week and the midfielder has since admitted to gambling on Milan, as well as other teams. He could face a lengthy ban and will also have to go to therapy for his gambling addiction.
In the media, there has been a lot of talk (not just in Italy but also in England) about Milan’s involvement and whether they knew before selling him to Newcastle. A conspiracy so ludicrous the attacks have a systematic pattern, as Serafini highlights for MilanNews.
“We can only note that (after the poison from the Genoa game) the break seems to be a curse between injuries, events and rumours that regularly flourish around Milanello. The media attack seems instrumental and systematic.
“Many surnames were involved in the betting scandal, but only Milan was at risk of illicit action. Did they know? They did not know? Did they sell Tonali on purpose? Did they keep quiet in the talks with Newcastle? Did they fix the games? It has become a sad trend to discredit what the club is doing on and off the pitch,” he writes.
Milan have made it clear that they didn’t know anything about Tonali’s habits. And how could they have known? The midfield was using a platform on his own and kept it quiet, not letting his teammates know.
