Juventus director Beppe Marotta said Inter’s response to an Andrea Agnelli joke about Calciopoli was “deplorable.”
Marotta was on RAI programme La Domenica Sportiva tonight and was asked about the ugly incident that occurred on Friday.
“That statement annoyed us a lot. Agnelli replied to a question from a reporter and expressed a positive opinion on Moratti and Thohir.
“He joked affectionately that Moratti did something crazy by accepting a Scudetto he didn’t win.
“From that to releasing such a hard and inappropriate statement is beyond the limits. What was written on the Inter site was deplorable.”
It has been reported that Massimo Moratti was also surprised by the ferocity of Inter’s statement, as he had exchanged similar jokes with Agnelli via text message.
“FC Internazionale is saddened to hear that Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has once again attempted to distort the facts and change history,” read the statement.
“Unfortunately for him, and for Italian football as a whole, 2006 was a disastrous year in which the Scudetto was legitimately awarded to Inter by the FIGC and Juventus were relegated to Serie B along with their reputation.
“Those are the facts. We will not allow anyone to change them or act as if they did not happen.”
