What happened in 04/05 in Italy? Were there any strange results or referee decisions pro juventus? |
apparently
this is Roberto Mancini interview today Manager of Inter and one of the few not involved in the scandal:
| quote: | Mancini, in the past few years you have always spoken about the supposed anomalies in Italian football. What do you think now all these things have come out?
"I prefer not to talk about it yet. Something new emerges every day so it's not even that nice to talk about it."
Isn't it strange that Mancini was the only coach who exposed what wasn't going right in football?
"I'm not the only one. I believe Zeman has also said a few things... I honestly don't know what to say, but I don't think any of us thought it would go this far. I will ask you a question: how many Italians love football? Forty million? They've taken us all for a ride, they've been messing us around. Not just us who work in the game, but also all those who have gone to watch football. Not every team - there are teams and managers who have nothing to do with it."
One sports daily has speculated that Juventus could have several titles revoked, and that one could be given to Inter. Would this be morally right?
"When these things happen they usually deduct. But I honestly don't know what will happen. I have no idea, because something new emerges every day."
What was your feeling when you heard yesterday's news that Milan are involved in certain situations?
"I have already said that I prefer to wait and see what happens because there's something new every day. Fortunately the league has finished, otherwise it would have been difficult to continue. We need to see how it all ends, who is really involved and who isn't."
With what spirit will tomorrow's league matches be played?
"There won't even be spirit."
But if all the things printed in the papers are true, can we expect several teams to be relegated?
"I don't know. There are rules, now we have to wait and see how far it goes. To talk now is useless. The authorities will decide what to do." |
