Fiorentina Juventus' lawyer pleaded for leniency on Sunday as the club continue to appeal against their relegation to Serie B for match-fixing. Last week, a sports tribunal meted out sanctions for Juve, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina, who were all found guilty of corruption, but The Old Lady were the hardest hit, with demotion to Serie B and the encumbrance of a 30-point deduction. It is that handicap that is the focus of the Bianconeri's appeal, with Cesare Zaccone, the lawyer representing the club, stating his case that the effects could seriously harm the careers of the players who remain at the club. "Just to survive in Serie B next season we estimate that Juventus will have to earn about 80 points - equivalent to winning 27 of their 40 matches," Zaccone told the five-man appeal court panel. "The career for a footballer is short and some of our best players are world champions. "None of them wants to risk two years in Serie B or, worse still, relegation to Serie C1 [Italy's third division]." The court is hopeful of delivering its verdicts in time for the July 25 deadline Uefa has set the Italian Football Federation to submit its list of teams to compete in Europe in the forthcoming campaign. The Federal Court's president Piero Sandulli confirmed the appeals process is expected to be wrapped up by Monday, with a final announcement made shortly afterwards. "The debate will be closed on Monday and the decisions will arrive between Tuesday and Wednesday," said Sandulli. Meanwhile, Juve president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has reaffirmed his declaration that the club is not for sale. "The shareholders dismiss the possibility of a sale and, as president, I take full responsbility," he told Corriere dello Sport. Gigli is keeping his fingers crossed for a positive appeals verdict and praised the attitude of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who has vowed to stick by the beleaguered club. "I hope we can remain in Serie A, even if it is more realistic to prepare for Serie B, but perhaps without the points deduction," he added. "That would allow us to come back immediately and keep hold of most of our players." Refering to Buffon, Gigli added: "Heaven knows, maybe Buffon wanted to take the challenge that [former coach] Fabio Capello didn't want to take. "I'm confident about Buffon, and I hope other players will remain as well." ------ 這篇跟我們最大的關係就是禮拜一會宣布二審結果這樣就能趕上禮拜二繳交義大利歐戰名單哪個禮拜一？不用懷疑就在金舔，就在金舔 -- 我喜歡好女孩。但我只有在看過她的外表之後，才有興趣知道她是不是好女孩。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 192.192.90.205 ※ 編輯: Earl 來自: 192.192.90.205 (07/24 12:24)
