Deschamps Crosse Fingers On Debit
(Soccer365.com) - Juventus manager Didier Deschamps is nervously awaiting the decision of an appeal that could reduce their penalty points deficit.
The Bianconeri were dumped to Serie B for their part in the Italian ref-fixing scandal and forced to start that campaign 17 points in the hole.
Juventus have posted five wins and a draw to raise their season total to -1, but remain 16 points adrift of Leaders Genoa.
"Our climb back up is not easy like they want to make believe, because we are forced to win," pleaded Deschamps.
"Now I want a discount on the penalization - only that way it will be easier to go back to Serie A."

I still don't like the idea of a frenchman taking the reigns of the most storied Italian team. I don't like it

Reducing the penalty points is the only just thing the league can possibly do; hitting Juve with relegation and reduction in points was a travesty. This Juventina and many others were heartbroken - Juve does not belong in Serie B.
