JUVE: THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. OF ANDREA LAMBS.

There are many different silences.  Sometimes someone keep silent because he has nothing  to say. There is the silence of the guilty.  That type of silence that’s just waiting to be broken by some noise, as when a seagull suddenly scream in the wind on a sandy beach during winter. There’s the embarrassing silence  between two young lovers without experience. And there’s the silence of the lambs like the title of a famous movie. In Italian football  the silence of the lambs means the silence of Juve.  Because Lambs in Italian is Agnelli - the surname of Juventus’ president Andrea. Agnelli  ordered  all Juventus’ employees to keep silence as a protest against the referees . The silence of the lambs  also means the  Juventus’ silence  because the Italian giant feel innocent and victimized just like poor lambs led to the slaughter house. A sportive slaughter where the dream of glory of 12 million of Juventus supporter is dying . The news blackout decision was in fact a decision taken by Juventus owner after the draw between Genoa and Juventus. A match where Juventus deserved to win  but once again they weren’t able to score goals because of the imprecision of their strikers, but also because of  bad luck. Bad luck disguised also as many referee mistakes. In fact during the match against Genoa referee Rizzoli failed to give a regular goal scored by Pepe (in the pic below) and he didn’t give a penalty for a fault on Matri.

Two enormous mistakes that made Juventus angry. So angry that they remained  without words.  A silence of someone who feels victimized. A silence of protest.  Juventus bemoan the lack of equity of the referee’s judgment. So far in fact Juventus have had just  one useless penalty (against Cesena) despite having an average ball possession of almost 60 % per match. It’s strange. The bad decisions that referees have taken against Juventus so far are more than at least 10.  Some of these mistakes are really evident like the penalties not given to Juve during the matches against Inter , Parma and Siena. Mistakes that in terms of classification mean less points. Points that could be decisive for the challenge to win the Italian title. What Juventus and their supporter think is that the Turin club are still paying for the Italian scandal called Calciopoli in 2006. For that scandal Juventus was relegated to Serie B and lost 2 scudetti. A tough punishment unlike other clubs like Milan, Lazio or inter that was even awarded with a scudetto never won.  Juventus has already paid for their faults (?) and now they don’t want to continue paying for it. Juventus  is in fact convinced that whenever a referee is in doubt he prefers to whistle against Juve. I think what is happening in Serie A is absolutely this. Regardless of which team you support we can’t accept this  type of behavior because those who have already paid for their sins shouldn’t continue to pay indefinitely. I think this is the meaning of  the silence of Juve. The silence of the lambs. The silence Of Andrea Lambs.
