The Moggi Conversations

You can’t NOT have an opinion on this, and I’ve been quiet on it mostly because we could fill entire websites with pro-Juve or anti-Juve corruption editorials and this is a site about Italy and the World Cup. But if Moggi did really say this about Lippi, who was the face of Juventus for so many years, then he was a.) obviously wrong and b.) a sad excuse of a man.

“Marcello non va da nessuna parte, non arriva neanche ai Mondiali”.Lippi è cittì da poche settimane, ha perso malamente l’amichevole in Islanda. Giraudo, che lo conosce bene, è categorico: “Marcello non va da nessuna parte, non arriva neanche ai Mondiali”.

Loose translation: Lippi doesn’t know that role and won’t get the team to the World Cup.

He also had this to say about Miccoli, which is even more dubious:

“Digli di fare meno lo stupido, non lo faccio chiamare in Nazionale
così gli metto giudizio perché in Nazionale ce l’ho mandato io”

Loose translation: Tell him not to play stupid, or he won’t get called for the national side, I recommended him for the national side.

(With apologies to those who speak the native language much better than I.)
