Torino captain Ricardo Rodriguez seems to be targeting Juventus as he claims that the Bianconeri are known all over the world, but his team owns the city of Turin.
Juve and their neighbors share a rivalry, but we cannot compare the two clubs on various levels.
The Bianconeri are the biggest club in Italy and Torino isn’t even in the top six at the moment.
While Juve win several trophies almost every season, Il Toro’s last trophy was finishing as runners-up in Serie B in 2011-12.
They often battle relegation as Juve play for the league title and Champions League trophy.
This makes both clubs very far apart in terms of levels, but RodrÃguez says via Calciomercato:
“Juventus is in the world. The city belongs to Turin. There is a lot of passion and the fans expect you to wear the shirt with pride. You can feel it around every corner.”
Juve FC says
As captain of his team, we expect Rodriguez to make such a ridiculous claim.
However, even he knows that we are the biggest team and cannot even be compared to his employers.
There’s not much point in arguing with the facts, and when we meet on the field, we’ll show you who the bigger team is.
