Elkann: 'Juve should have won'


Fiat president and Agnelli family member John Elkann says a victory against Roma would have been preferable, while looking ahead to the Champions League game.

The Bianconeri managed to hold their title-contenders down to 1-1 on Monday evening, but the Italian businessman was not content with the result.

“I saw it and we played an excellent game, especially in the second half,” he said to La Gazzetta dello Sport in Geneva, on occasion of the launch of the Ferrari 488 GT.

“But I would have preferred a victory, especially when you consider the way the match was going.

“In any case, well done to both the teams. We took one step closer to the Scudetto.

“As for the Champions League, we started well in the Last 16, playing an outstanding game.

“Things are going to get tough in Germany now. But I believe in the team.”

And there goes our best youngster full of potential. MAttiello

from what I read, yeah.

The 0-0 draw with Chievo was overshadowed by a horrific injury for Federico Mattiello, who suffered a double fracture of tibia and fibula.

Mattiello surgery tonight
by Football Italia


Federico Mattiello should undergo surgery tonight with Juventus and Chievo medics after a horrific injury.
The 19-year-old fractured his tibia and fibula during today’s 0-0 draw with Roma.

Owned by Juve and joining Chievo on loan in January, the two clubs united to analyse the X-rays and discuss how to proceed.

Juventus sent Doctor Tencone, the co-ordinator of the medical staff, to the Negrar Hospital in Verona to visit Mattiello.

It’s reported the surgery will be tonight at 20.30 GMT after earlier rumours it would be on Monday morning.

The good news is that there does not appear to be any knee ligament damage, so he’ll be out of action for between five and seven months.

“The lad is fairly calm,” agent Andrea Pastorello told Sky Sport Italia.

“Obviously it was a horrible injury and interrupted important steps forward in his career. More than anything he’s disappointed to see his season end here.”

Will this injury affect how he plays in the future, or will he be able to start playing like he used to when he comes back, regains fitness, and plays some games?

Nasty injury it will take time for him to get up on his feet I say more than a year.

Agnelli blasts Italians and Europe

Juventus President Andrea Agnelli blasted Italian football chiefs, accusing Manchester City and PSG of “financial doping.”

The patron sat down with German magazine Die Zeit ahead of Juve’s Champions League visit to Borussia Dortmund.

“I am not the leader of the opposition in Italian football, because we don’t have a Government,” said Agnelli.

“Nothing happens without a meeting of the Presidents. The Lega Serie A itself is weak and has no authority, nor its own management. This leads to a less transparent situation, for example with TV rights, and a conflict of interest.

“We ought to change some of our ideas and behaviour. With few exceptions, the Presidents are all 60-70 years old. There are few in their 40s.”

Agnelli also warned the bankruptcy of Parma, who needed a €5m bailout package from the Lega Serie A just to finish the season, is “the tip of the iceberg.

“The fact a club can reach this point is down to the bad management of Italian football. I am not worried what people in Italy think of the country, but I am worried by what you overseas think of us.

“Old stadiums are one of the causes of this crisis, I agree 100 per cent. It is our generation’s job to leave our children with a different football, one that is better and more transparent, but also a better country.

“Without doubt there are differences between me and other Serie A Presidents. In my view it should be run like the Premier League by people who bring the League forward as a product with a strategy to develop and export our football.

“In James Pallotta, the Roma President, we have found an ally. Are more foreign investors welcome? I don’t care where the investment comes from, but I can assure you Juve will remain Italian.”

Juve have arguably the worst reputation abroad because of the Calciopoli scandal, which saw them stripped of two Serie A titles and demoted in 2006.

“It’s not right to say we’ve been rehabilitated. We accepted the sentence of the sporting trial, but that was all done in a month and new information emerged afterwards that was not taken into consideration.

“Three years ago we presented a request for damages worth €443m on lost income. We are waiting for the hearing.”

Agnelli also blasted the massive clubs who have challenged the Financial Fair Play regulations.

“At this moment there are four clubs who are beyond compare in terms of revenue: Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

“They are followed by PSG and Manchester City, who however operate on a system of financial doping. If we take those two clubs out of the table, Juventus rise to eighth place. My objective is to reach fifth position in three or four years.”

Juventus also want to climb up the pecking order in the Champions League, starting with the Round of 16 against Borussia Dortmund.

“We are Juventus. We have to win every game.”

Champions League worth €9m for Juve


Qualification for the Quarter Finals of the Champions League would earn Juventus an extra €9m, it has been calculated.

The Bianconeri travel to Germany this week to face Borussia Dortmund, holding a 2-1 lead from the first leg of the tie.

Should Massimiliano Allegri’s men progress on Wednesday, Tuttosport has worked out how much of an increase in revenue that would represent, arriving at a figure of €9m.

All clubs which reach the last eight receive a bonus from UEFA of €3.9m, while Juventus will also earn €2.2m from television money for any Quarter Final tie.

In addition, reaching that stage of the competition would virtually guarantee another sell-out at Juventus Stadium for the home leg, which brought in €2.8m for the first leg with Dortmund.

Not bad... lol

Guess we've just won the Serie A.

No competition lol... We've made it without prime vidal and pirlo Congrats guys

Laziale are overcoming Roma now. Laziale are in an amazing form now lol... They can win the Coppa IMO.
