Juve: Inter must denounce Mou
Tuesday 3 March, 2009
Juventus have hit back at Jose Mourinho with an official Press release demanding “Inter publicly denounce such allegations.”
The Nerazzurri Coach hit the headlines today with a seven-minute rant against the media’s “manipulation” of refereeing errors to make it seem as if Inter were favoured by the officials.
Among the claims he made were that “I stand with all the tacticians who lost points against Juventus due to refereeing errors.”
The Bianconeri have hit back with an official Press release on their club website demanding action.
“After having read with great care the serious allegations made by the Inter Coach, Juventus express their astonishment and disgust, asking Inter to publicly denounce these comments.
“With his statements, the Inter Coach has not only shown a lack of respect for Juventus and their 14 million fans, but to all of Italian football.
“Rather than feeding a dangerous culture of suspicion, the club representatives have a duty to show a sense of responsibility and civility – before, during and after games – to sustain the evolution of Italian football and its international image.”
Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has been given a touchline ban for his furious comments after the controversial 3-3 draw with Inter on Sunday night.
Mourinho also revealed during his Press conference that Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri had tried to phone him, but he did not take the call.

It's sad that we still have to put up with these allegations, let alone by Inter, the very team directly responsible for our demotion, and who during the past 3 seasons, have benefited more from ref mistakes than any of the years Moggi was in charge.
Their reply to our press release is classless and exactly what I would expect from a team who taps phonelines, forges passports, and steals titles in courts.
I can't stand serie a anymore. It's a fucking circus.

Coboli's say from C4
Cobolli: Inter helped more than most
Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli notes Jose Mourinho can’t possibly claim Inter “are penalised” when they haven’t given away a spot-kick in a year.
The Nerazzurri tactician’s rant about refereeing errors and the “media manipulation” of Sunday’s controversial 3-3 draw with Roma saw him accuse Juve of receiving far more ‘favours’ from the officials.
“You could see on the slow motion replay that it was not a penalty on [Mario] Balotelli,” noted Cobolli Gigli.
“It was probably not an easy decision to make for the referee in that situation. At times refereeing errors go in favour, at other times against a club, but I don’t think there is any kind of voluntary malice behind them.”
However, the Juventus President did stick the knife in to Mourinho’s victim complex.
“Inter have certainly not been among the most penalised, have they? The statistics say that Inter have not given away a penalty in a year.
“I can understand Roma’s recrimination. Referees must be helped to do their work well, finding solutions to increase the number of eyes watching incidents.
“[UEFA President Michel] Platini does not believe in the ‘moviola’ and suggests extra referees in the box. It’s worth experimenting, but we have to do something to find a solution.”
When Cobolli Gigli commented on Mourinho’s fiery Press conference, he did not wish to outright condemn the Inter Coach, but later this evening Juventus released a statement urging the club to denounce his allegations.
“I just don’t understand Mourinho’s words,” sighed the Bianconeri chief. “Everyone has the right to say what they want, just as I have the right not to comment on the Inter Coach’s statements.

Inter: Mourinho was 'honest'
Inter have replied to Juventus' statement by pointing out Jose Mourinho acted 'in self-defence' and exhibited 'honesty.'
The Coach lambasted the media this afternoon for highlighting refereeing errors in favour of the Nerazzurri rather than those for Juve.
The Bianconeri responded by releasing an official statement demanding the club “denounce” Mourinho's allegations.
“After having read with great care the official statement from Juventus FC, we underline that Jose Mourinho replied in clear and explicit fashion to an attack on the same level,” read Inter's reply.
“Our Coach expressed his ideas - without insinuation or malice, with the honesty that is his style and which is very much appreciated by this club.”
The battle between the two sides, whose rapport was already bitter following the Calciopoli scandal of 2006, is set to intensify.
The Federation could get involved and suspend Mourinho, though, as FIGC President Giancarlo Abete has already said they are evaluating the comments to see if any action can be taken.

FIGC's (Abete) take from C4
FIGC: Jose heading for a ban
Jose Mourinho could be suspended after the FIGC confirmed it was “looking into his statements, which only serve to fire up tension.”
The Inter Coach has dominated today’s headlines with his seven-minute rant against the media ‘conspiracy’ to make his club seem favoured by referees.
As Roma boss Luciano Spalletti received a one-match touchline ban for insulting the referee after the controversial 3-3 draw at San Siro, Mourinho is likely to follow suit.
“This only serves to fire up tension,” warned Federation President Giancarlo Abete.
“The tone adopted by the Portuguese Coach just make existing relationships even more fraught and bitter.
“His comments serve no use for the football world at all. Naturally the Disciplinary Commission is carefully evaluating the content of Mourinho’s statements.”
