Juventus slammed Milan over the “farcical” Carlos Tevez replay controversy, suggesting they are “trying to mask the result.”
The Rossoneri protested via the official website and Twitter account as well as CEO Adriano Galliani because of the opening Tevez goal in last night’s 3-1 result.
Milan accused Juve of manipulating the video replays and camera angles to make Tevez look onside, also hinting that the other Serie A games directed by Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium were not “independent” enough.
Juventus replied with a lengthy statement on their official website mocking the fact Galliani is a registered quantity surveyor.
“Mr Adriano Galliani, Vice-President and CEO of AC Milan and Vice-President of the Lega Serie A, has recently returned to his old passions: television and geometry.
“However, Galliani appears to ignore the laws of the State, regularly approved unanimously by the Lega and above all the ‘pitch.’
“Basically Galliani is throwing bait to the media for a specious and farcical controversy so he can clumsily mask to the eyes of the Milanisti the very clear result on the field in last night’s game. Three to One.”
The statement went over the various rules and regulations, eventually pointing out the ‘line’ drawn in post-production by television companies had nothing to do with the original footage provided by Juventus.
“Galliani has for decades been acting principally in football and television. He seems to ignore that every evolution – tactical and regulatory – has been passed right under his nose, if not even decided by him.”
Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium also took several minutes in today's broadcasts to point out the camera angles are all decided pre-season by the Lega Serie A and reiterated their impartiality.
