Juventus have become Italian soccer’s public enemy number one in recent weeks as they battle to clear their name from being involved in capital gains and hiding salary payments.
It’s a revelation that has gotten them into some trouble and Max Allegri’s men have already been punished with a 15-point deduction, with more likely to come.
The club’s public image has been affected by these allegations and its former player Moreno Torricelli is saddened that one of Italy’s biggest clubs is so hated.
He said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“I think the anger towards Juve is shameful. I heard the judge had given -9, then raised to -15 embarrassing. I hope that all this is clear on the appeal, because it seems to me an incredible rage. Juve are always in the headlines and everyone is furious with us, which makes me sad because I am a football lover. When we lost count of Napoli, we recognized the merit of the other team. This fury is shameful and I’m sorry because Juve is a heritage of Italian football and seeing this hate makes me sad.”
Juve FC says
We remain one of the most successful clubs in the country and sometimes success comes with many enemies, which has been a problem for us.
Considering that we did business with other clubs and have been punished alone, it is almost clear to see that there is now an agenda against the club.
