Juventus general manager Marotta slams whining opponents

Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta has slammed the whining of their opponents this season.

Marotta insists Juve deserve their superiority.

He said, “For 10 years I was a director of less important teams and I always saw Juventus as a strong and winning club.

“When you're strong and you win there's a culture of envy and then your wins are denigrated or downplayed.

“When you win it's because you're stronger in every respect, unfortunately in our football there's a culture of envy and a bit of a culture of excuses.

“In Italy our opponents have often lost and blamed the referee or something else. That's the culture of excuses.

“It's a wrong concept that we need to eradicate, because it takes responsibility away from the players, feeding a losing mindset into them.

“If we've taken almost 100 more points than Napoli and Roma over these six years, and I don't know how many more than Milan, our clear supremacy is not up for discussion.

Juventus are always under attack because it's a target which provides a lot of popularity and is therefore up there to be hit.

“There are 14 million Juventini and the rest are against us."
