In his new book ‘Adrenaline,’ Zlatan Ibrahimovic has addressed the Calciopoli scandal of the 2006:
In the book Ibrahimovic continued to argue as he has done it many times before that the revoked Scudetti of Juventus (2004-06) stil belong to the players as they had no finger in management’s affairs.
“I will continue to consider the two Scudetti they took from us as mine. How was it possible to give one of them to someone else? And I stil don’t understand how did the others accept it (hinting on Inter).
“If you disqualify the one who won it, and give their medal to me, I’d say I don’t want it. In fact, you would have offended me if you give it to me. If I go around with that medal around my neck and say ‘I won it!’ it’d feel disgraceful.”
Especially considering everything that came out afterward! People often ask me, ‘But at Juventus, didn’t you notice that the referees suddenly became more lenient?’ I reply: ‘No, on the field, I noticed that we were the strongest. We only won because of that!
When I enter the Stadium in Turin and see the number 38 next to the tricolour Scudetto, I don’t find it wrong; I think that’s the exact number and that’s true justice. Sports justice in Italy is embarrassing!”
