Rafa Benitez made more controversial comments after Napoli’s defeat. “Sorry Roma, but I realised Juventus will win the Scudetto.”
The Coach was bitter after a 3-1 home loss at the hands of Juve and, following his statements to Sky Sport Italia, continued to make insinuations during his Press conference.
“Juventus are a very strong side, but it’s not hard to see Chiellini’s white shirt and especially that bandage on his head with Caceres behind him,” said Benitez of the second Juve goal.
“From last year I learned the phrase ‘it can happen’ – it’s always like that against Juventus. We were in the game on 1-1, but the offside goal changed everything and we had to chase again.
“We give credit to Juventus because they have quality and hard work, which is why they’ve been winning for three years and will win again. Our rage comes from the fact we couldn’t play on level terms due to these errors.”
Benitez was asked by a reporter whether the refereeing decisions were ‘punishment’ for Napoli beating Juventus to the Italian Super Cup last month.
“I say that Juventus will win the Scudetto. After seeing so many Juventus games, that is all I can say,” smiled the Coach.
“I am sorry for Roma, but I realised Juventus will win the Scudetto…”
