Fury Juventus. For the result (only 1-1 with Genoa at home) and, above all, for the refereeing, which has sparked all kinds of controversies. The crime took place in the 93rd minute, when Granqvist touched a ball with his arm that fell from the right: for the referee Guide everything was in order, but the images left more than one doubt. “There is nothing to explain or clarify – Antonio Conte furiously explained – everyone saw what happened, even a blind man would have seen it. Rigor is sacrosanct and I can accept a mistake, but not what Guida told me. The goal referee signaled the penalty to him, but he told me that he didn't feel like giving it to us. This is not football. If I hear certain things, shame is the least I can say. I want fairness, rigor was sacrosanct, I would have accepted that Guida had told me he hadn't seen or that he had made a mistake...". A rather tough stance, but nothing compared to that of Marotta: “For a referee like Guida di Torre Annunziata, it is difficult to come to referee Juventus. I'm not talking about bad faith but about difficulties. In the 94th minute a referee from the province of Naples found himself in difficulty… Just as it is advisable that a referee from Novara not referee Juventus, so a Neapolitan referee must not come to referee Juventus”. Very heavy words, which aroused the immediate indignation of Enrico Preziosi: “Where is Juventus' style? We often suffered non-existent penalties against Juve. Now I expect someone to take action against Conte. I would like to remind him that Juventus won a Scudetto with a ghost goal from Muntari…”. The stance taken by the Rossoblu president is tough, especially on the Juventus coach: "There is a unique arrogance on the part of Conte who claims that the referee would have told him that he didn't feel like it. This he says. A coach should set an example and instead he yelled shame shame…”.
In short, the climate is incandescent and the game seems to have gone into the background. In reality, Juve are recriminating because they weren't able to finish the game early: having taken the lead with Quagliarella (54th, even if after a deflection by Granqvist), the Italian champion team was unable to double. And so, at the first useful opportunity, the former Borriello signed the goal to make it 1-1 (68th). From then on it was a black and white siege, complete with a final fuss, which was more than motivated by the facts.
Meanwhile Marotta has formalized the purchase of Anelka: the Frenchman arrives with a contract until June. “Let's call it a bridge brace. – declared the Juventus CEO. – However, I reiterate that the transfer is still missing, the official announcement will arrive in a few days. The operation has a duration of 5 months with a mutual future evaluation. If more strikers will arrive? I would say no…". In short, the market is closed, despite the vibrant protests by the Juventus people for the purchase of the Frenchman. Juventus Turin is waiting, just like Lisandro Lopez.
