TURIN, Italy (AP) — In his first public comments since being implicated in a betting scandal, Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli apologized for a “naive error” and also criticized newspapers for writing what he called was “garbage.”The statement, via two Instagram stories posted on Wednesday, came the day after Fagioli was banned for seven months by the Italian soccer federation for betting violations.

I will speak soon.”Fagioli’s suspension was reduced from the minimum of three years after he admitted to betting on soccer matches — but not those involvin...
