Luciano Moggi Has Application To Join Journalist Association Rejected Goal.com rounds up the biggest Calciopoli stories of the day... May 7, 2010 Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi has had an application to join the association of journalists in Piedmont rejected after supplying false information, reports Blitzquotidiano.it. Moggi, who writes an editorial for the daily 'Libero', applied to join the association, but was turned down after a number of discrepancies that would have violated the code of regulations were found in his application form. The association denied his request, dated December 18, 2008, because he had stated that he had "no knowlege of being under a criminal investigation". That reason was incorrect because the ongoing Calciopoli trial in the tribunal of Naples, in which Moggi is accused of association to defraud, was launched on April 13, 2007 when magistrates from Naples uncovered a network of phone calls involving Moggi and referee designators. Thus Moggi was aware he was implicated in the legal proceedings, but it was something he never stated in his application. The association also questioned Moggi's professional and ethical code of conduct following his five-year ban from Calcio after the original Calciopoli sports trial in 2006. Moggi was then banned for a further year following the GEA trial in which he was convicted of violence and intimidation of players who had signed up to the agency. President of the regional council of Piedmont journalists, Sergio Miravalle, said: "It must be noted that the associations of Lazio and Lombardy decided on disciplinary action against journalists that were tempted or induced by Moggi's behaviour. The association's counsel called Moggi in for a meeting to explain their decision and to hear a statement by him in which he said: "I have good relationships in the world of journalism and a good view of it." The association reached a majority verdict and denied him the application. Meanwhile, Stefano Argilli, the man who exposed the goings-on of Moggi's, now defunct, GEA world agency, has explained why he spoke out. Four years ago, Argilli told Avvenire: "Moggi does Siena's transfer market, but not all. Everyone knows his GEA agency has their hands in every plate. As for the rest, Italian football is comfortable with someone who refuses to delegate." And today he says he has no regrets over his actions which led to the GEA scandal. "Some fans called me a traitor, but in the end they appreciated my words because I had contributed to uncovering a boiling pot that had been causing problems for some time," he is quoted as saying on Goal.com Italia.

Luciano Moggi's Court Evidence Goes Missing Goal.com rounds up the biggest Calciopoli stories of the day... May 6, 2010 Evidence from the Calciopoli trial at the Tribunal of Naples has gone missing as CDs and DVDs containing 171,000 phone calls have mysteriously disappeared, according to La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. The missing evidence in questions was used at the current trial in which Luciano Moggi's lawyers have shown that a number of clubs spoke to referees. Nicola Penta, Moggi's legal advisor and the man who has been uncovering the calls said: "no one asked for them over the last two years." And now confusion has rained down on the investigation as no one knows where the CDs are. It's standard practice for the prosecution to ask lawyers if they want the evidence back once a hearing has ended, but in this case, Moggi's lawyers did not want it. However, in the last hearing, one of Moggi's lawyers asked the court if he could involve a primiary source of the investigation, a company known as TRS who have supplied the software that has been used to untangle all the calls. But the prosecution's Giuseppe Narducci said there was no need because the court had already acquired all the material, but the CDs and DVDs are still missing. The court has already accepted 74 calls presented by Moggi's lawyers over the last month, but there were still 22 new calls that needed to be transcribed by a man appointed by the court to carry out the task. But with the CDs and DVDs missing, it's unknown as to whether these 22 calls are part of the evidence, that for an unknown reason, is no longer available. This latest development is likely to raise new questions when the court resumes next Tuesday as both Moggi's lawyers and judge Teresa Casoria will want to know where the CDs have ended up, given that Narducci had said the material was deposited with the court a fortnight ago. Meanwhile, investigative journalist Oliviero Beha, who has been investigating the Calciopoli scandal and has 30 years experience in football writing, has given his views. He told Tuttosport: "It's clear that no one cares about sports loyalty anymore. The word loyalty is anachronistic in football. And it's a type of ethic that involved a number of protagonists. "Let's say that Moggi moved 'better' than the rest and he had developed a better organised system that was efficient. But this doesn't mean that others had their hands in their pockets. "Everyone wanted to be like Moggi, with the same power and organisation. The new evidence that was ignored in 2006 is showing this."

Claudio Marchisio: Juventus Must Secure Sixth Place The Italian midfielder has underlined the importance of finishing the season on a high... May 6, 2010 Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has set the tone for the final two games of the season as he encourages a sixth place finish. Finishing sixth will mean them avoiding the Europa League preliminary round which kicks off in July. Juve are currently seventh heading into this weekend's clash against Parma, a point behind Napoli. "This is the last objective that we have to reach, but to do it we have to think about ourselves, not what Napoli are doing," he told the club's official website. "We have recently enjoyed some consistency at the Olimpico, but we have not been able to maintain that on the road. "However, we are in good form both mentally and physically, so this should give us the strength against Parma on Sunday."

Who Is Juventus' Player Of The Season? Carlo Garganese to see who was the stand-out performer for the Bianconeri in 2009-10

Juventus Keen To Swap Buffon & Melo For Arsenal's Fabregas & Van Persie Buffon and Melo to Arsenal, Fabregas and Van Persie to Juventus... May 6, 2010 Juventus will use Gianluigi Buffon and Felipe Melo to entice Arsenal into a mega move that will see Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie head the other way, reports Tuttosport. Buffon is wanted in the Premier League with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City all vying for his signature. It's no secret that the Gunners are keen on Brazilian midfielder Melo, and this could pave the way for a super swap. Buffon and Melo to Arsenal, with Fabregas and Van Persie, or Bacary Sagna to Juventus is the plan being floated in Turin. The Old Lady are among a host of clubs keen on Fabregas, but their failure to qualify for the Champions League is unlikely to tempt the player. Furthermore, he has always pledged allegiance to Arsenal, and the club have always maintained he is a key player who is unlikely to leave. Chelsea and Manchester United are also said to be on standby. Buffon worked alongside Carlo Ancelotti at Parma, and he could be used in a deal that would see Branislav Ivanovic move to Juve. United meanwhile are looking to replace Edwin van der Sar at the end of the season, but they, alongside City, would have to bid at least

New Call Between Facchetti & Bergamo Emerges, Moggi Insists Referees Never Had Swiss SIM Cards Goal.com rounds up the biggest Calciopoli stories of the day... May 5, 2010 New calls involving former Inter president Giacinto Facchetti and referee designator Paolo Bergamo have emerged ahead of next week's Calciopoli hearing at the Tribunal of Naples. Mediaset talk show 'Matrix' revealed the content of the call, which was handed over to them by former Juventus director Luciano Moggi and his legal consultant Nicola Penta. The call, published by Tuttosport, involves Facchetti and Bergamo discussing the referee for the Cagliari-Inter Coppa Italia semi-final of 2005, a day before the game. The call is dated May 11, 2005. Facchetti: Look, I saw the score that we have had with Bertini. Four wins, four draws and four defeats. Bergamo: Damn, ok, lets do five, four, four. But wins. Facchetti: But tell him that its important tomorrow. He has had 12 games, all four, four, four. Bergamo: He will move one, the one that starts with V. I still have to speak with him, but he is intelligent, and he knows how things should go. Better late than never. Listen Giacinto, we consider Sunday's game to be a tranquil one. And we will put a debutant ref in the grid. Is that ok for you? Facchetti: Yes ok, if you want to. It's ok... Bergamo: I wanted to tell, please don't ever think about a lack of attention from my part. Facchetti: On Sunday a debutant ref is fine for me. Bergamo: A debutant, there is Mazzoleni. Facchetti: Mazzoleni is from Bergamo... there is also his brother. Bergamo: Yes, he is good and young. He has good numbers and has good promise. Facchetti: No problem. Bergamo: Listen, can you get me some tickets for Sunday for a client. Facchetti: No problem, call me Friday or Saturday. Call me and... Bergamo: Good luck. Facchetti: Please... tell him. Bergamo: Consider it done. Moggi wasted no time in reacting to the call, which is not part of the 74 that have been aquired by Judge Teresa Casoria and used as evidence by Moggi's defence team in the trial of Naples. "I think the presumption of innocence on me was obscured, despite it being a pivot of our constitution," Moggi told the 'Matrix' show. "The new calls? I don't want to prove anything in particular, even because I never said the phrase 'all guilty or all innocent'. They made me say this. Simply they tried to say that nobody called, instead everyone used to do it. But only myself, Juventus and [Antonio] Giraudo were hit." Moggi, who is being accused of association to defraud and sporting disloyalty at the trial, took a swipe at Inter. "Inter never used to win because they used to get their transfers wrong, not because of me. They then started winning when they signed good players. That is the only secret," he added. Moggi was then quizzed over the Swiss SIM card scandal, in which he was accused of allegedly keeping a network of communication with referees. "I have never given any Swiss SIM cards to any referee," he added. "I gave two SIM cards to the designators Bergamo and Pairetto. They had asked me for them. I bought the SIM cards to protect me from people trying to spy on me in relation to the transfer market. And, in the same shop where I bought mine, it emerged that [inter director] Marco Branca was also served there." "The referees never had them. If people thought they did, why wasn't Coverciano raided? They didn't because they knew they would not find them."

Buffon On Manchester United & Chelsea Radars Reports claim Gianluigi Buffon is heading for the Premier League after hinting his Juventus future is far from certain... May 5, 2010 Juventus goalkeeper Gianlugi Buffon is Premier League-bound with Manchester United and Chelsea ready to land him, according to Italian newspaper reports. Tuttosport and La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport are claiming

Giuseppe Marotta Signs On As Juventus Director General And 'Beppe' has advised Juve against splashing out to land Benitez May 5, 2010 Giuseppe Marotta is to leave his post as chief executive of Sampdoria this summer to be appointed the new director general at Juventus. Today's edition of the Corriere dello Sport newspaper claims that the 53-year-old signed on the dotted line to tie himself to the Old Lady on Monday. An official announcement from the Turin giants is likely to come after the Serie A season comes to an end on May 16 as Sampdoria are still in the thick of the battle for fourth spot. The first order of business for Marotta will be to help the club hire their new boss. Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is said to be Juve's prime target, but Marotta has reportedly underlined the cons of investing around €30 million to bring in the Spaniard and appears keen on an Italian boss, namely Cesare Prandelli, Massimiliano Allegri, Roberto Mancini or Luciano Spalletti.

Moggi Challenges Lifetime Ban Proposals, FIGC Expected To Discuss Ban Decision On Wednesday Goal.com rounds up the biggest Calciopoli stories of the day... May 4, 2010 Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi has challenged the FIGC (Italian FA) proposals to ban him from the game indefinitely. Last week news broke of a meeting held by the FIGC's court of justice in relation to proposals regarding a possible lifetime ban for Moggi. The opinion of the court opened up a legal can of worms for the FIGC as there was confusion between old and new laws as to who would decide whether he be banned. The question is still up in the air, and the FIGC's federal counsel are expected to meet president Giancarlo Abete on Wednesday to clarify the situation and make a decision regarding Moggi, as well as the two other figures involved, Antonio Giraudo and Innocenzo Mazzini. And Moggi has been quick to defend himself from the ban proposals. "They are scared that I will go back to Juventus. I have not received anything [in relation to the ban] and I am waiting," he told television programme 'Il Punto di Luciano Moggi' on Gold TV. "Let them do it, then I want to see who puts their signature on it because they will pay the consequences." Because of a change in law in 2007, the courts can now decide whether Moggi is banned. Before the change, the law at the time stated that the ban, following the orginal sentencing in 2006, was only a proposition that would be decided by the head of the FIGC. However, since the change, the ban decision was no longer a propostion that was down to the head of the FIGC, but rather an automatic option that could be handed to Moggi by the courts of sports justice, without needing the authority of the head of the FIGC.

Juve Ready To Redeem Themselves Next Season - Chiellini The towering centre-back is eager to make up for this season's disappointment in 2010-11... May 4, 2010 Juventus have fallen well short of expectations this season, failing to even qualify for next season's Champions League after last weekend's 1-1 draw with Catania. Defender Giorgio Chiellini has assured the fans that the team will do everything they can to contend for trophies in the next campaign. "The result on Sunday leaves us in seventh place, which would mean the Europa League preliminary round," a statement read on his official website. "We shall try to finish in sixth [directly qualifying for the Europa League] and then completely turn the page and be better prepared for the next season, which will be one of redemption." Chiellini has been one of the most consistent performers for the Bianconeri this season and is currently training with the Italian national team as coach Marcello Lippi narrows down his squad for the 2010 World Cup. The 25-year-old is expected to be part of the Azzurri's starting XI in the summer tournament.

Gianluigi Buffon: Should I Leave Juventus, It Will Be For The English Premier League The shot-stopper revealed his choice, but says he is staying at the Bianconeri... May 4, 2010 Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon says that he may not have any intention of leaving the Bianconeri at the end of the season, but should the 32-year-old leave, he would like to play in the English Premier League. Buffon has another three years left on his current contract, but earlier hinted that he is a Juventus player "for two more games, then we'll see". "My will to leave Juve is the same as their will to let me go," the Italian international said to La giornalaccio rosa Dello Sport. "At the moment, there is no offers, but anything can happen in the next two weeks. "Should I leave Juventus, I think that a move to England would be my next destination." Superman also says that it is the entire team's fault that the Bianconeri season has not gone to plan. "Not everything needs to be redone. There were many good things, and plenty of good players to keep," he stated. "But there are some things that need to be relooked at, otherwise we risk going through several seasons with the same problem. "Everyone is to blame - including the player - as we have gotten things wrong as well. At the start of the season, we believed that we were a good side, but 4-5 good results does not make you a champion team." The shot-stopper also knows the difficulty the national team will face in South Africa. "The team knows how hard it is to win a World Cup, but to defend it is even harder. But if we present ourselves as being ready to play and in good physical condition, we will be tough. "Even if we are at 95 per cent, we should be able to get a positive result," concluded the 'keeper.

Facchetti's Notes Published, Tronchetti Provera Attacks Moggi, Moratti Could Be Called To Court As Witness Goal.com rounds up the biggest Calciopoli stories of the day... May 3, 2010 Extracts from late former Inter president Giacinto Facchetti's diary, now evidence at the ongoing Calicopoli trial at the Tribunal of Naples, have been published. During last week's trial, public prosecutors Giuseppe Narducci and Stefano Capuano aquired material from Facchetti's son Gianfelice. He handed the court a diary which contains notes from the former Inter chief about the suspected activities of Luciano Moggi at the time when suspicions over Calciopoli broke out between 2004 and 2006. And Il Mattino newspaper have published extracts of Facchetti's notes, in which he alleges that those controlling Calcio were Milan and Juventus. "Inter must and should begin a series of action to empower the credibility of this club in relation to Milan and Juventus - always more powerful and aggressive and who condition Italian football in a determined fashion," reads one of the notes published by Il Mattino. "Inter must be the leading club in a system not based on arrogance or power, but on corporatism with an added understanding to follow common objectives, using political ways to condition football differently to how it is now." Capuano and Narducci are likely to use the evidence in court when the hearing resumes on May 11. It was due to take place tomorrow, but was put back because of a national lawyers' strike across Italy this week. When the court case resumes, Judge Teresa Casoria is likely to appoint Roberto Porto as the man to transcribe a small chunk of the 171,000 wiretaps presented by Moggi's lawyers, according to Tuttosport. In addition, the judge is keen to establish whether it was Paolo Bergamo or Facchetti who mentioned Pierluigi Collina's name in one particular call dated November 28, 2004. Porto is likely to spend around a month trancribing 150 calls accepted by the court as evidence. Roberto Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti are also likely to be present at next week's hearing. Both will be questioned and asked for an opinion on Moggi's dealings. Newcastle Jets midfielder Fabio Vignaroli is also expected to be present. He will give evidence on the May 2005 fixture between Parma and Lecce, which, according to the prosecution, was made to end in a draw by referee De Santis in order to favour Fiorentina. From May 11 onwards defence witnesses are likely to be called in. Inter president Massimo Moratti may be summoned to court by Moggi's lawyers, who are keen to speak to him about the new calls involving Inter. Meanwhile, Inter board member and Pirelli CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera has slammed Moggi and his lawyers in relation to claims that the club's 2006 Scudetto could be revoked once the FIGC begins its probe into all the evidence emerging from the Naples trial. "In all sports when the first team is disqualified, the second one wins and so on. But football has more of a media-driven impact and people want to break the rules. We have to accept everything, but this is wrong," Provera told La Stampa. "Facchetti's calls? I think that there were sentences passed on this... in 2006 Moratti had already said that there was nothing in this. "People are trying to build something from nothing by revisiting Calciopoli. They are trying to manipulate the truth. It's scandalous."

Gianluigi Buffon's Future Is At Juventus - Agent Buffon is likely to stay at Juventus, says his agent... May 3, 2010 Gianluigi Buffon's agent Silvano Martina has given the strongest hint yet that the Juventus goalkeeper will be at the club next season. On the day Juventus' Champions League hopes ended, Buffon appeared uncertain over his future, claiming he had "two more games left at Juve". Questions were immediately raised as to whether Buffon would be staying amid reported interest from both Manchester City and Manchester United. But Martina has said the Italian international will see out his deal in Turin. "There is nothing new, apart from the fact that Buffon has three years left on his contract, and so I cannot see why he should leave," Martina told Tuttomercatoweb.com. "I never hear about Francesco Totti leaving Roma or Diego Milito leaving Inter, so why should Buffon go? "Anything can happen in life, but for now Buffon is a Juventus player and he is tied to the club for the next three years."

Giorgio Chiellini Demands Final Effort To Claim Sixth Place Then it will be time to open a new chapter May 3, 2010 Giorgio Chiellini has urged his Juventus team-mates to shake off the disappointment of missing out on a Champions League place to finish sixth in Serie A. Juve have slipped into seventh in the standings after yesterday

I bianconeri vanno in Europa, ma non in quella che conta; il Catania invece è praticamente salvo Eurosport - dom, 02 mag Niente da fare: nemmeno nella trasferta di Catania la Juve è quella che i tifosi vorrebbero. Arriva un 1-1 che non ammette più speranze: l'Europa arriva ma non è la Champions. La Samp vince e scappa via, La Juve scivola al settimo posto, scavalcata dal Napoli, di buono c'è soltanto il ko del Genoa, che fa diventare automatica l'Europa League dell'anno prossimo. Niente di cui vantarsi comunque, per una società come la Juventus. Il Catania invece si salva (manca solo la matematica, ma la differenza reti è favorevole ai rossazzurri rispetto all'Atalanta) a due giornate dalla fine, per la festa del Massimino: grazie a Maxi Lopez, grande realizzatore, e grazie a Mihajlovic, gran bell'allenatore. Zac conferma l'attacco che ha deciso la gara contro il Bari: Diego in appoggio a Del Piero e Iaquinta, mentre sulla fascia sinistra preferisce De Ceglie a Grosso. A destra si sistema Zebina, a centrocampo ritorna Felipe Melo dopo la squalifica. Mihajlovic preferisce schierare Silvestre al centro della difesa al fianco di Terlizzi, lasciando Spolli in panchina. Capuano è squalificato, a centrocampo, recupera Biagianti (in dubbio alla vigilia), mentre l'attacco è quello delle ultime uscite: bomber Maxi Lopez con Mascara e Izco al suo fianco. PRIMO TEMPO, SILVESTRE E ANDUJAR SUGLI SCUDI - Le due squadra cominciano con il giusto piglio, gli obiettivi sono lì da raggiugnere: Del Piero e Iaquinta da una parte, Maxi Lopez dall'altra danno subito la sveglia ai rispettivi portieri avversari, per un pomeriggio che non si annuncia assolutamente tranquillo. E Buffon lo capisce meglio al 24' quando il Catania passa in vantaggio: è un difensore, Silvestre, a centrare il bersaglio grosso, mettendo in rete proprio su una respinta del portierone bianconero sul colpo di testa di Potenza. Il numero 6 catanese si rende protagonista: riuscirà ancora due volte a creare grattacapi a Buffon, sempre su conclusioni di testa dall'area. La reazione della JUve c'è e si concretizza soprattutto nei tentativi di Alex Del Piero: il capitano, che prima del gol rossazzurro aveva sbagliato clamorosamente a tu per tu con Andujar, si vede respinta un'altra conclusione ravvicinata dal portiere argentino, che diventa protagonista con un riflesso da applausi al 37'. SECONDO TEMPO, MARCHISIO ALZA LA VOCE - Nel secondo tempo Zac cambia: fuori un Del Piero comunque positivo, al suo posto c'è Amauri. Che la Juve voglia cambiare marcia si vede fin dalle prime battute, ci vogliono 6 minuti per trovare il gol del pari. Ci pensa Marchisio, al termine di un'azione insistita da parte dei bianconeri: il centrocampista ci prova prima di destro, e poi trova lo spiraglio con il sinistro per l'1-1 della Juve. Un pareggio serve pochino però per le ambizioni europee dei bianconeri, che dunque provano in tutti i modi di segnare ancora: Iaquinta e Diego però non fanno che il solletico alla rocciosa retroguardia rossazzurra, rinforzata dagli innesti di Spolli e Ledesma, con un 4-3-3 che si trasforma in un 5-3-2 blindatissimo. Anzi, la chance per andare avanti ce l'ha il Catania: Maxi Lopez al 90' salta Cannavaro e Chiellini ma fa i conti senza Buffon, che salva da campione. E' 1-1: vuol dire poco per la Juve, se non l'ennesima delusione stagionale. Vuol dire tanto per il Catania, che a due giornate dalla fine festeggia la salvezza nel suo stadio.
