The Sun is a truly bizarre dia outlet.
When it cos to reporting player transfers, they often drop the ball and have had their fair share of laughs.
But when it cos to tabloid news, especially player gossip, they’re practically the Romano of the tabloid world!
Any player scandal they reveal has an accuracy rate of over 98.724%.
Who’s cheated, which star’s son isn’t really theirs, who hosted a party with models at their mansion—stories like those with detailed pictures and solid evidence, they’re always convincing.
So when The Sun exposed Tang Long’s private eting with a female reporter in London while his teammates were doing extra practice, everyone believed it was solid proof!
Tang Long scrolled down Ranocchia’s phone and saw the comnts from netizens.
-[Haha, it has to be The Sun, right?]
-[The Sun is professional in this, no different from an official announcent, 100% credible!]
-[Didn’t expect it, looking all righteous, Tang with thick eyebrows and big eyes has fallen into the gentle trap of European blonde sisters!]
-[Why do stars always like those well-built older sisters, I do too!]
-[To be fair, this Dilata’s figure is indeed top-notch, often watched her live interviews during Serie A gas]
-[Brothers, I genuinely like her!]
-[The Sun, essential for tea-break gossip!]
"Damn these paparazzi, can’t they find sothing better to do, never do anything serious, just snooping around. Ignore them, just play your soccer."
Ranocchia said indignantly to Tang Long.
As an older player with more experience on the field, Ranocchia used to be trailed and photographed by tabloid dia in Italy before he was married.
But Ranocchia has never been on the globally renowned The Sun, so he’s worried about the impact of this internet storm on the 19-year-old Tang Long.
Yet Tang Long appeared unfazed, instead carefully examining his photo in the newspaper.
"What a pity, had I known I would be on The Sun, I would’ve styled my hair. Look, my hair got blown askew by the wind."
Ranocchia: "..."
During today’s training, Tang Long noticeably felt a different atmosphere compared to before.
Many people were looking at him differently, creating a slightly tense vibe.
Tang Long felt puzzled: Why does being in The Sun concern you guys? It’s not like you’re on it.
Little did Tang Long know, the dia attack aid at him was not only spreading outside but even stirring within the team.
This morning, before training started.
In the Manchester City head coach’s office, coach Pellegrini and his assistant Rein sat opposite each other.
In front of them were two fresh-off-the-press paper editions of The Sun.
Compared to the electronic version, the paper edition detailed Tang Long’s actions more thoroughly, with more accompanying pictures.
Pellegrini carefully read through the newspaper, then slamd the stack heavily on the table!
"What’s going on? We’re about to play away at Juventus, and this kind of thing happens!"
Assistant Rein also cursed The Sun, calling it an irresponsible dia.
"With a big match approaching, the UK’s dia should present a united front. Juventus is our strongest opponent in Group B, The Sun stirring things up is deliberately unsettling us, the happiest one would be Juventus!"
As they were speaking, footsteps were heard outside, and four players entered the office.
They were Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, and Silva.
Seeing these four players coming together, Pellegrini was taken aback.
Toure was the leader of the French Language Gang, Fernando and Fernandinho were united as the Portuguese Language Gang;
Silva was an important mber of the Spanish Language Gang, second only to Agüero.
There’s a noticeable atmosphere of cliques within Manchester City, what exactly did these guys co here for together?
"Boss, I think Tang should be removed from the starting attacking midfielder position!"
Silva’s opening statent was shocking, leaving Pellegrini and assistant Rein stunned!
A player coming to the head coach’s office to request another player to be removed from the main squad?
This straightforward communication was sothing Pellegrini hadn’t encountered in his 20-year coaching career.
Line-up decisions are the coach’s prerogative, any self-respecting team coach wouldn’t accept interference, especially one leading a top club like Pellegrini.
However, given Silva’s crucial role in the team, with both achievents and efforts over the years;
Pellegrini suppressed his anger and patiently asked Silva why he said that?
"Boss, do you rember the promise you made to everyone on the plane back to Manchester after the Sunderland ga?"
"You gave us a day off, you said whoever gets caught by The Sun during this day off would be benched, you personally said it!"
Seeing Silva’s assertive and well-prepared deanor, Pellegrini’s heart skipped a beat.
The elderly coach, now over 60, had a slightly faltering mory; he looked at Rein questioningly, asking if he indeed had said that?
