Bad blood...







Milan and Juventus have traditionally had a good relationship, well that has all changed since Saturday. Maybe the teams would have gotten over that " ghost goal", I mean Milan still sit on top and Juventus just a point behind them in the league table, yet it is all the afters that have really started to irritate me. Gigi Buffon has been known for his honesty, but some things he should edit, when he said that he wouldn't have told the referee even if he saw the goal was understandable,who would want their own team to be disadvantaged? But saying this to the media is like twisting the knife in Milan's back and it is not needed. I like to believe that Buffon is smart enough to realise what affect this would have. Antonio Conte is a man I did admire in the past, yet he has brought in the attitude that it's Juve against the world, this wouldn't be such a big deal if Juve were in mid table but they have remained unbeaten for 25 games and currently sit in second, and all this talk about how everyone is out to get him reeks of the Jose' Mourinho days.
This game was always going to be a heated game, yet he has turned it into something else and all this bad blood and moany attitude seeps into the team, we see it every week when a decision goes against them and almost immediately the ref is surrounded by atleast 4 players all complaining about something. I fear that Antonio Conte may get the reputation of " the whiny one". After the game against Catania he came out and complained about referee decisions and almost every coach in Serie A came out and stated what a joke he had become and how he seems pathetic. And it hurts to admit it but they're right, he is basically saying that the game is more to do with the referee than the players he sends out, it's shameful, he is showing a lack of respect for his team by acting this way and I urge him to stop!
If he doesn't and Juve win the league, everyone will feel it's more to do with Conte's remarks then the efforts by the lads.
