More and more players are experiencing gambling cases and of course Milan doesn't want any of its players to experience similar cases experienced by players from other teams. Florenzi must prove that he has not been involved in a gambling case and he must return to training with Milan in order to return to his best performance. As a coach, Stefano Pioli will certainly be very troubled by his injured players, not to mention if anyone is proven to be involved in this gambling case. Actually, I am still quite surprised by the players who already earn a decent salary for professional football players but in other lives they are not satisfied enough to make more money.
It seems like that gambling scandal became even more familiar for the italian footballer. The scandal has led to the suspension of a few individuals, but I anticipate that there will be more cases emerging in the near future. Florenzi needs to prove it first. FGIC may also give the same sanction to him.
In my opinion, there are enough players who have committed the act, but the investigators have not yet uncovered their identities. Sometimes you need to do something that will make you our from your pressure.
There are many people who have been using gambling for entertaining purpose only. This is the truth. You can't generalize all of people playing gambling to doubled their money. Some are having intention to have fun by gambling their money.
Despite earning a considerable salary, it is perplexing that a footballer would still participate in gambling, suggesting there may be a logical explanation. The strict competition this season has put a lot of pressure on them, and they are in need of something to help release it.
We may see more to come soon. The investigators are still trying to expose more players who being involved in the gambling activities.
From a player point of view, I agree with you, they need a little entertainment to relieve the pressure they are experiencing. However, in essence, FGIC will not see this as an acceptable reason and will make the sanctions looser. Alessandro Florenzi must be able to dismiss allegations that he was involved in gambling based on evidence, because I think any alibi will not allow him to escape sanctions. Florenzi has denied that he was directly involved in these allegations.
In fact, according to the rules, they are allowed to place bets if they play on an official platform, but I am also quite curious about why some of these players really like illegal platforms and bet on the matches they play, as in the case of Tonali previously. I think this will not only be detrimental to themselves but also detrimental to the club. However, it is reported that Florenzi case is still in the investigation stage, so no decision or sanctions have been given yet.
