Capello attacks Bonucci for unsportsmanlike conduct
- @EddieSwain_
Bonucci went down after what looked like a gentle push from Giminez in the Juventus box, allowing Gimenez the space to slot home from close range. Capello was unimpressed by this, saying “Bonucci went down with a caress, that’s not a foul.”
He went on to say that in Italy players are too used to receiving a free kick as soon as they are touched, but on this occasion the German referee told him to get up immediately.
Juventus fell to a 2-0 defeat to Atletico in the Spanish capital last night; goals from centre-backs Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez separating the two teams in a tough-fought clash. Juventus must now overturn the deficit in Turin in a few weeks time. The pressure will be on Juventus in their own ground to keep their Champions League dreams alive.
