Angry Zebina slams Juventus
Friday 27 January, 2006
Jonathan Zebina has openly criticised his treatment by Juventus and revealed he will be quitting the club at the end of the season. "I asked for a pay rise and they took me for a troublemaker," he said.
Zebina, who has had an injury-plagued spell with the Bianconeri, has been out favour ever since asking for an increase in wages.
The former Roma defender only returned to the Juve side after a four-month absence against Empoli on Sunday and he chose the aftermath of last night’s defeat to Roma to speak out against the club.
"I asked for a pay rise and they treated me like a troublemaker," said Zebina, before adding that he is hoping to move either abroad or to Serie A rivals Milan.
"I’ll be leaving at the end of the season, probably to go abroad."
Zebina is clearly unhappy at the way he has been treated by the Turin outfit and his comments are unlikely to viewed upon kindly by his employers, who are particularly eager to not air their dirty laundry in public.
Liverpool and Newcastle are both clubs interested in the France international, while talk of a swap deal with Christian Abbiati has also been mooted in the Press.
