Vezista Newcastle Uniteda Sandro Tonali je u ozbiljnim problemima. Naime, optužen je da se ilegalno kladio na fudbalske utakmice. U petak mu je konfiskovan mobilni telefon. Porodici i prijateljima je rekao da se nije kladio na fudbalske mečeve već da je samo igrao Poker i Black Jack online.

From Sempre Milan:

Former AC Milan midfielder and current Newcastle star Sandro Tonali has been served legal documents for his involvement in the betting scandal that features three players at this stage.

As has been officially announced by the FIGC, the two Italy internationals have been served the official documentation that says they are under investigation for their role in a betting scandal.

This story first began with Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli being investigated for using illegal betting platforms and potentially betting on football matches.

It then emerged that Tonali and Aston Villa’s Nicolo Zaniolo are also involved. The latter two are now officially being investigated as well.

Tonali and Zaniolo have been allowed to leave Coverciano where they were training for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. The FIGC believe that they won’t be in a fit state to face Malta and England.

From Football Italia:

According to RAI Sport, Sandro Tonali and Nicolò Zaniolo are accompanied by Italy delegation chief Gigi Buffon while they speak to investigators about the growing betting scandal.

Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli is formally under investigation for betting on illegal sites, but reports are growing that he is not the only player who has been breaching the rules on professionals placing bets.

Gossip columnist Fabrizio Corona alleges that Zaniolo placed bets on Roma’s Coppa Italia games while he was in the squad, plus that Tonali has also been betting.

According to RAI Sport reporter Alessandro Antinelli, Tonali and Zaniolo were spotted alongside chief delegate Buffon meeting with police inside the Coverciano camp to discuss the betting investigation.

It was also confirmed by news agency ANSA that police officials were at the Coverciano training ground.

FIGC statement:

The Federation announces that, in the late afternoon of today, the Turin Public Prosecutor's Office notified investigation documents to the players Sandro Tonali and Nicolò Zaniolo, currently in training with the national team at the Federal Technical Center in Coverciano.

Regardless of the nature of the acts, believing that in this situation the two players are not in the necessary condition to face the commitments scheduled in the next few days, the Federation has decided, also to protect them, to allow them to return to their respective clubs.

WEST HAM UNITED  -  NEWCASTLE UNITED  2 : 2

Dobra fudbalska predstava viđena je danas na London stadionu, gde su West Ham United i Newcastle United remizirali rezultatom 2:2.

Poveo je West Ham United posle prvog udarca na gol u 8. minutu utakmice. Strelac je bio Tomas Soucek. Golu je prethodila greška kapitena Newecastle Uniteda Jamaala Lascellesa, koji je loše markirao Emersona, koji je elegantno zaobišao golmana gostiju Nicka Popea i dodao do Souceka koji loptu sa pet metara šalje u praznu mrežu.

Newcastle United je do kraja poluvremena stvorio dve dobre prilike ali su i Miguel Almiron i Dan Burn šutirali pored gola domaćih, tako da se na poluvreme otišlo sa minimalnom prednošću za Čekićare.

U nastavku igre Newcastle United stiže do 1:1 golom Alexandera Isaka u 57. minutu utakmice. VAR je gledao da li je Isak bio u ofsajd poziciji ali Isaku je loptu dodao jedan igrač domaćih, tako da o ofsajdu nije bilo govora i Isak je spretno sa pet metara desnom nogom pogodio mrežu domaćih, za slavlje gostujućih navijača.

Upravo je Alexander Isak u 62. minutu utakmice doveo Svrake u vođstvo od 1:2 udarcem levom nogom sa četiri metra. Asistenciju sa desnog boka beleži Kieran Trippier.

Alexander Isak je imao priliku i za 1:3 u 73. minutu utakmice ali je njegov udarac pogodio stativu. Prethodno je Isak zaobišao golmana domaćih Areolu, šutirao sa pet metara levom nogom iskosa sa leve strane ali lopta je nažalost pogodila stativu gola domaćih. Ovo je bio ključan momenat meča.

Konačan rezultat 2:2 postavio je rezervista Mohammed Kudus rezantnim udarcem sa sedamnaest metara levom nogom u 89. minutu utakmice. Sandro Tonali je zakasnio da ukliza na Kusudov udarac, mada Tonali nije ni pomislio da ukliza na Kudusov udarac. Gorak ukus u ustima posle primljenog gola.

Čekićari su do kraja meča imali još jednu priliku preko Jarroda Bowena ali je golman Svraka Nick Pope odličnom odbranom morao da spasava bod.


Konačan rezultat: 2 : 2.

P.S.
Posle osam kola imamo 13 bodova i nalazimo se na 8 mestu na tabeli Premier League. Svega smo četiri boda iza četvrtoplasiranog Liverpoola i mesta koje vodi u Ligu Šampiona. Šteta što nismo pobedili na ovom meču ali ovo je bio meč sa dva poluvremena. Bitno je da nismo izgubili, jer se videlo da je došlo do emotivnog pražnjenja posle onakvog meča u Ligi Šampiona prošle srede kada smo demolirali PSG.

Na igračima se u poslednih petnaestak minuta video i umor, tako da će pojedinim igračima dobro doći reprezentativna pauza. Sledeći meč igramo na našem St James' Parku protiv Crystal Palacea u subotu 21. oktobra.
