The president: “Zlatan has made a mistake”
“Ibrahimovic should have been here with us today but he didn’t want to come. Without wishing to dramatise things, we take exception to this; he’s let down the fans, the club, his team mates and the region of Trentino, which has been very hospitable”. Juventus club president, Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, who was in Rovereto tonight to watch his team’s friendly against Spezia, had very clear words to say about Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s failure to join his team mates for the game. “He doesn’t want to stay? - queried the president, responding to comments made by the journalists present - Well, only a week ago Dr Agricola told me that he spent the whole of the team’s day off in the company of the other players, eating polenta, and generally having a great time. He’s young and perhaps he’s not had the best advice recently; that is to say we will help him, following the guide lines our code of discipline, to behave in the correct manner towards the club and his team mates, convincing him, with the additional help of those of his colleagues who have decided to stay with us, that a possible year of purgatory in Serie B could prove be an important professional experience”. When referring to Serie B, Cobolli Gigli underlined the word “possible”, reiterating with conviction that Juventus does not deserve to be relegated: “We have taken our case to the Camera di Conciliazione del Coni and as we find the difference in treatment between ourselves and the other teams illogical, we are aiming for Serie A with a points penalty”. With regards to the reasons behind the sentence passed by the Corte Federale, which justified the reduction of the points penalty inflicted on Juventus on grounds of both the club’s reputation and its contribution to the national side’s World Cup triumph, the president had this to say: “To say Juventus has given a great deal to football cannot be disputed. It seems to me that the change in structure of the club, demonstrating a desire to move forward with the greatest possible transparency, was also taken into consideration. However, that has no bearing on the arguments we have presented to the Camera di Conciliazione del Coni: there exists no proof of any wrong doing, whether it be in the championship or the matches themselves”.
i love our new president...way to show some character!!!
