People don't seem to understand that most of the players who left in 2006 were told to leave by the club.

Buffon had already agreed to join AC Milan and the deal only collapsed at the last minute because Milan were then dragged into the Calciopoli scandal as well.

Posting this again for anyone who hasn't read it:

Gianluca Zambrotta has revealed some excruciating details in his book during the Calciopoli scandal that led to him leaving Juventus for Barcelona.

Zambrotta disclosed a lot of personal details that involved his feelings during the 2006 World Cup in his book ‘Una vita de terzino’ .


The 37 year old defender also revealed a lot of truth regarding his move to Barcelona during Calciopoli scandal.

“My conscience was clean. Why did I ever have to pay for a fault that was not mine?,“ he asked rheoterically.

”I never understood the rush Juve had to sell me. I was never asked to stay to be part of the new beginning.”

“I honestly never really wanted to leave but in truth I was sold. I had just finished putting together a new house in Torino. When I went to Juventus headquarters to meet with Barca’s executives, Juve had already signed the documents to sell me.

“Back in the day, Alessio Secco even advised [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic to accept any important offer he might have gotten and leave.

Any Juve player that would have been asked to the club had been sold. Those who stayed at Juve never really had a concrete offer to leave or just simply were offered important contracts in the club, unlike me.

“It really hurt me when the media started the traitor story which caused the fans to hate me. I kept expecting the club to deny and clarify what happened. It only came two years later when it was already too late.

At the end of the day had Calciopoli not occurred, I would have never left Juventus. And the scandal was certainly not my fault.”

Zambrotta also added that legendary Juventus keeper would have been sold to AC Milan but the deal could not go ahead as Milan were also involved in Calciopoli

“Not everyone knows this but Buffon had already closed the deal with Milan,“ he confessed.

”But did not go through because they were at risk too [during Calciopoli].”

“Juve had the necessity of selling many stars in order to compensate the lack of profit they received from the sponsors. They kept some, but not all.

If they had not sold me, Ibra, Cannavaro, Thuram and Vieira, they would have gone bankrupt.”

Players get sold in every transfer window for multiple reasons I don't see how it makes them a traitor especially when it's for the best wishes of the club after the club has just been relegated and is in risk of going bankrupt.

I respect the players who stayed and they will always be legends to me but there's no need to crucify anyone who didn't.

Yea Thuram said some shitty things about Juventus after he left but I get it. The players had every right to be furious with the club. Ive been a die hard fan for almost 30 years and I say shit about our management all the time.

This idea that it makes you less of a fan for not blindly loving and agreeing with everything the club does is dumb.

Im still furious about what happened in 2006 and will never get over it. I still believe we should have never been relegated and we were fucked over but I also hate the management for not fighting harder to clear our name.

And also back then social media was just taking off. There was lots of misinformation in media and no way to organize a proper defense. I imagine it was just as confusing for the players. It’s not like they had a network of s4tches ready to defend the club through investigative media.

Hatred of Thuram is unrelated to this. It's for comments he made after he left. In particular his "Juve who?" nonsense. I get that he might have been bitter at the time but he was all in favour of the Calciopoli verdicts for years after, parroting the official line. Now he's back in the fold but AFAIK he's a snake.

Yea I'm not sure about Thuram his comments don't sit right with me either but Zambrotta and maybe some of the others shouldn't be called traitors and dont deserve to have their names tarnished.

Buffon wanted to leave. He had agreed to join Milan but the deal fell through at the last minute. He did not spit on the money.

Trezeguet as well as Camo also tried to force their way out but couldn't find buyers.

Alex and as far as I know Nedved are the only two who really wanted to stay.

Edit: Zambrotta wanted to stay too as mentioned before.

There isn't one source anywhere to confirm this. Real Madrid already had who they consideree the best in the world ( Casillas) so I would be suprised if this is true.

He did in fact agree to sign for Milan though.

This.

I remember when Tuz said we're supposed to hate Zambro, but never knew why. Thuram I get.
