THE DOUBLE FACE OF ITALIAN FOOTBALL

Almost at the same time. In the same evening, the Italian football yesterday showed its two different faces. The beautyful and the ugly, the elation and the angry: Ac Milan, beating Arsenal (4-0) in a fantastic Champions League night in a S. Siro overjoyed, gave back to Serie A the lost prestige. Just before Juventus, the main opponent of Ac Milan for the Italian title, drawed against Parma failing the attempt to overtake Milan at the first place of serie a classification. A draw also explenable with two questionable decisions taken by refree Mazzoleni that didn't give two likely penalties to Juventus (one of this in the pic below).

After the match polemics started. Antonio Conte Juventus coach said:"We have got just one penalty in 22 matches. It's strange. I think that the refrees are afraid of giving penalties to Juventus. It's a conseguence of the 2006's scandal. Juventus want to have respect and equity of judgment". I think that a part of what Conte said is true but if Juventus yesterday wasn't able to win  it's also due to the imprecision of Juventus' strikers. Likely the polemics of Parma Juventus in the night were overwhelmed by the fantastic success Milan had against Arsenal thanks to an incredible Ibra better as assist-man than as a striker and thanks to Robinho's best performance of the season, the Brasilian known until yesterday as the king of missing goals. A fantastic night of Champions League useful - I think - just to postpone the serie A poisons: the polemics are just beginning...

What do you think, is Juventus doing in the right thing complaining??
