http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Barzagli-c5669 has voiced his delight at winning the Italian Super Cup, and has dedicated the first trophy of the season to Antonio Conte.
The Serie A Champions beat the Coppa Italia winners 4-2, in the recent season opener played in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926, in a match that sparked a lot of controversy due to the sending-off of two Napoli players, and also their manager Walter Mazzarri for protesting against
the decisions.
Antonio Conte has recently received a 10-month ban for his involvement in the betting scandal, and a couple of his supporting staff members are also facing bans for their part.
Barzagli dedicated the victory to the Juventus manager along with his assistant staff that has been banned due to their involvement in the match fixing scandal.
The Bianconeri defender insisted that the days leading up to the Super Cup were surrounded in heavy mist for them, and stressed that he is really glad to have won the trophy in the end.
While talking to the press, the 31-year-old said:
“We dedicate it to the Coach, to Simone and to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011. We had some tricky months, but it was great to lift the trophy today.”
The refereeing decisions against Napoli have sparked a lot of hullabaloo, and the angry players from the losing side also refused to come out again for the presentation ceremony.
The former Palermo player chose to steer clear of controversy arising from the refereeing decisions in the trophy match, and stressed that the game was a closely contested one between two strong teams.
Barzagli stated that he enjoyed the match very much, and insisted that he is relieved to see that his team emerged as the winners from the intense Super Cup clash.
“I leave the controversy aside. It was a tough and hard-fought match, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 played their game and so did we. It was an entertaining battle and thankfully we won at the end of it.”
As a consequence of the sending-offs, the Partenopei manager and the two players will remain unavailable for Napoli’s first Serie A game of the new season.
