Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli warned their legal challenge would continue unless the club’s top flight status is restored.
“We will go into the CONI Conciliation with great respect for the FIGC, but I am convinced that to be in Serie A with a points penalty is the correct destiny for Juventus.”
The Bianconeri were demoted to Serie B and ordered to start the 2006-07 campaign with a 30-point handicap, later reduced to 17 on appeal, as a result of the Calciopoli scandal.
Juve will now enter an arbitration meeting and it’s reported the Federation will negotiate a large cut in their penalty to avoid the legal challenge rumbling on to the TAR Lazio tribunal.
“I don’t even want to consider the idea we might not be playing in Serie A,” continued Cobolli Gigli. “However, if this deplorable situation plays out, then we’ll be forced to earn promotion. Our transfer market is not over yet. We’ll bring in a new central defender, but I won’t name him yet.”
Juventus seem confident of a large discount on their penalty, having removed guilty parties Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo from the club, but the Federation insists there will be no whitewash.
“The FIGC does not want to and indeed cannot change the sanctions agreed by the Federal Court,” noted Commissioner Guido Rossi. “Anyone who thinks this is an end of season sale is sorely mistaken.”
Meanwhile, Juventus played out a 0-0 draw with fellow Serie B side Piacenza this evening. The World Cup winners and other internationals were out of bounds, so Didier Deschamps fielded a very young squad.
They impressed nonetheless and struck the woodwork with a long-range effort from Matteo Paro.
“We will try to get as many points as we can to achieve our objectives, which hopefully will be defined on Friday evening,” noted the Coach.
“We all hope it’ll be in Serie A, but we can only wait for the final decision. In any case, our attitude and hard work will not change, as we are preparing to be ready when the campaign kicks off.”
