I’ve never been mates with the referees; nobody in our team had been. No, we were the best and had to be brought down. That was the truth, and there was also a load of dodgy stuff in that investigation. For example, it was conducted by Guido Rossi, a guy with close ties to Inter Milan, and Inter Milan emerged from the mess surprisingly unscathed. A lot of things were either ignored or exaggerated in order to make Juventus out to be the big villain. AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina, along with the Referees’ Association also came off badly. Things were worst for us, though, because it was Moggi’s telephone that was bugged and he was investigated from top to bottom. Still, the evidence was never that strong. Okay, things didn’t look brilliant either, that’s true. (Location 2911)
