Emerson blasts Juve ‘traitors’
Emerson has slammed former teammates Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Patrick Vieira for opting to join Inter last summer. “They didn’t respect Juve,” argued the Real Madrid man.
The three men were part of a mass exodus after the club’s demotion to Serie B, but the midfielder can’t comprehend why either of the duo opted to join the Nerazzurri – a club who were assigned Juventus’ Scudetto last season.
“After what happened last year some players had to leave as that was only logical,” said Emerson to Sky Italia.
“In my case, I received some offers and discussed them with the club. We solved the situation in five minutes and I have to thank everyone at Juventus,” added Il Puma.
“As for Ibrahimovic and Vieira, I do think their move to Inter illustrated a lack of respect towards the club.
“The Nerazzurri did not win the Scudetto either. It hurt me to see the shield on their shirts when the championship started. They were never even in the race to win that title…
“Seeing Juventus play in Serie B is a disaster and the demotion was terrible. The Bianconeri players did not deserve it for what they accomplished on the pitch.”
The Brazilian has struggled to adapt to life in Spain despite the presence of boss Fabio Capello – who worked with him at both Roma and Juve.
“I miss your country and I had a good time in Turin,” said the 32-year-old. “They were two happy years for me.
“A return to Juventus? I don’t like to talk about other teams while I’m still under contract, but you can never say never. You can’t know what will happen in the future.
“At my age you are not too old for new challenges. I wouldn’t have any problems with that.”

I want him back, do you?
