Juventus coach Conte left frustrated with Parma stalemate

Juventus coach Antonio Conte was left frustrated after their draw with Parma.

Juve had two decent penalty appeals waved away in the 0-0 stalemate.

"We dominated the game for long periods and need to win in these situations, so it's a shame we didn't get all three points," said the Coach.

"Once again, there are a few replays I'd like to see. There was absolutely nothing in Parma's appeal, as Sebastian Giovinco dived.

"As for us, the footage speaks for itself. I think at this stage referees are afraid of giving a penalty to Juventus. We've only received one spot-kick this season.

"I am not just talking about today's incidents, but it is a general view of the whole campaign that people are afraid of giving a penalty in favour of Juventus.

"That fear comes from all sorts of areas. We carry on, but it is annoying. We've had fewer penalties than anyone all season and play 75 per cent of our games in the opposition area.

"This situation is really getting on my nerves and I cannot accept that Juventus are unfairly treated. I expect every referee to be even, fair and courageous, because you need guts to award a penalty in stoppages.

"At the moment they won't give us a penalty even if we get killed. We train like animals to play an extraordinary season and just demand fair treatment on a par with everyone else."
