Juventus fans upset Conte with Borriello abuse

Juventus coach Antonio Conte is upset with fans turning on new signing Marco Borriello.

The striker arrived on loan from Roma this week, but supporters held up a huge banner ahead of the 1-0 victory at the Stadio Via del Mare that read: 'Borriello, mercenary without honour or dignity.'

"Borriello is to all intents and purposes a Juventus player and I think he explained that he never actually 'rejected' this move last year," said Conte.

"The Bianconeri simply didn't have the funds to offer a permanent deal at the time and the player and Milan preferred to send him to Roma, but he did not reject Juve. Only a madman could reject this jersey."
