Top Italian journalist says footballer should be thankful for his betting expose

The story of the betting scandal that shook Italian football last season was first reported by gossip columnist Fabrizio Corona.
Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli eventually lost several months of their careers as a result of this startling set of revelations.

Both players received suspensions; Tonali will remain out of action until later this month, while Fagioli was allowed to return for the final three games of the previous campaign.

According to Fabrizio Corona, the midfielder ought to be grateful to him for sparing him from financial ruin.
