I found this wonderful (and very informative) article on "Il Foglio", an Italian newspaper and I translated it. Enjoy!
I should write about Juventus, I’ll talk about Inter. About Juventus everything was said by Piero Sandulli, the president of the federal court, not by Luciano Moggi: “There aren't any illicit behaviors, everything was regular, that championship wasn’t falsified, the only doubt was about Lecce-Parma”. And so, you’ll say, why B, 2 scudetti taken away, A in 2 years (if you think about it) and a raped grandma? This was explained by another judge of the court, a certain Mario Serio form Palermo, Sicily: “We tried to interpret a collective feeling, we listened to what the common people said and we tried to get in tune with them”. Very, very, very serious. And also the confirmation that the fraud was not moggiopoli, but rather “cleancalciopoli” . This joke called calciopoli could only be believed by our joke-of-a-country and now also the executioners are confirming it. So this is what happened: everything was legitimate, but since the drunk people of the bar under the curva sud wanted Juve to take it, judges had to make it so. But if they had to follow the “collective feeling”, wasn’t it easier to smack Moggi Luciano’s head?
Congratulations to Inter, then. To the champions of Italy. I, for example, as soon as they’re gonna sell the dvds of their sportive triumphs, will surely buy them. What’s better to see Camoranesi fool one of Mancini's 17 Argentinians and then cross the ball wonderfully, with which Ibra fools 3 other South-Americans to score the 1-0 goal? I could also resume the nerazzurra flag of the 14th scudetto, the one I found close to the Olimpico an afternoon of May 2002. I don’t know if you remember: it was the day Inter lost a scudetto, even if the opponent team, tifosi included, had done their best to give it to them. But it happened that Lazio played an angry-for-having-been-dropped ex-interista and a Czech that hadn’t had his contract renewed by Lazio itself and that Inter played the usual good-for-nothing defender. Was that a fixed match? Would have Zorro Zeman got up and left indignant? It doesn’t matter, the ball is round anyway, in fact it was the weaker ones who lost, the neo-champions of Italy.
Guido Rossi’s wise men, by the way, to punish the falsified-not falsified 2004-05 championship, have falsified the absolutely regular 2005-06 one, that wasn’t the object of any investigation and had Pairetto and Bergamo, the terrible designators, already retired. Now, finally, I understood what the “conceptually admissible” infamous sportive illegalities, the ones that Juve has been accused of in the first Caf verdict, are about. Do you remember? Juventus has been condemned for having had “advantages on the table” different from the ones obtainable by altering the result of a match or the match itself. No one had understood how you can obtain “advantages on the table” without having fixed the matches, but giving the scudetto to Inter has made everything clear. Here it goes: it’s enough having the craziness of the Palace (figc) relegating Juventus and taking 30 points away from Milan to win a scudetto, with the “advatages on the table”, without fixing the matches. Sportive illegality, under article 6, according to Caf’s jurisprudence. If there was a serious, with capital S, judge Inter’s title would be revoked and the club would go to B.
It would be comic, if the interisti didn’t think they really are the honest team. Honest, whatever it means, even if 2 months ago – during calciopoli – an important manager and a player of theirs (Gabriele Oriali and Alvaro Recoba) have negotiated in an ordinary court 6 months of jail for having falsified a passport, that means for having made part of the club an "outside the community player" who shouldn’t have been made able to play. Very honest, whatever it means, even if 10 days ago “Sole 24 Ore” has written about a little (60-80 millions €) help by Federcalcio (figc), guided by Lawyer Rossi. Inter had done a “cosmetic-accounting” operation, getting a fake 158 millions euro worth of plus-valence. When Covisoc –Calcio’s Consob (the organization that watches over firms in the stock markets)- told Inter that they wouldn’t be able to be part of next season's Serie A if they didn’t recapitalize 100 millions Euro, Inter appealed to Federcalcio and, boom, they received a 60% discount. Since the news appeared on a salmon coloured newspaper (Sole24Ore, Italy’s most important financial newspaper) and not on a pink one, that you can find in bars over the ice-cream fridge, no one felt the need to “get in tune” with the “collective feeling” that, obviously, considers Mancini a great coach and Burdisso better than Zambrotta.
And about Juve, what can I add about a club that, as of yesterday night, had still to denounce the scudetto-robbing? If there were Giraudo and Moggi I would be serene: they would dare Rossi to go himself to take those 2 Champions-of-Italy trophies and they would put Paolo Montero, Ciro Ferrara and Sergio Brio to defend them.
