Juventus ultras insult 'worm' Agnelli

By Football Italia staff

Insulting graffiti appeared outside the Juventus Allianz Stadium aimed at ‘worm’ President Andrea Agnelli and ‘incompetent directors with no respect.’

Those responsible are believed to be the ultras based in the Curva Nord, who have for weeks been sitting in silent protest for the first 39 minutes of home games.

The situation reached a head last night during the 4-1 win over Udinese, when the rest of the crowd in the arena jeered the ultras, exchanging insulting chants.

This morning, graffiti had appeared outside the stadium with messages for President Agnelli.

“Incompetent directors with no respect for their people,” was one motto, while another called Agnelli a “worm.”

“You treat us like clients and want us to cheer you on? Ridiculous.”

The protest is largely aimed at the club for raising ticket prices, although in Serie A these remain considerably lower than for example in the Premier League.

“Silent is the protest of a curva that has nothing but disdain for you” and another was aimed at the rest of the Juventus Stadium crowd, accused of being “a bunch of puppets, slaves of Agnelli.”

The protest is also expected to continue on Tuesday in the Champions League Round of 16 against Atletico Madrid.
