Capello hits out at Juventus fans over Ibrahimovic


Juventus coach Fabio Capello defended Zlatan Ibrahimovic after yesterday's Champions League elimination by Arsenal.
Juve fans jeered the Swede and Capello said after the 0-0 draw: "I hope we can end the season on a positive note. We needed the help of the supporters and there was nothing more we could've done, so it was ungenerous of the fans to jeer.
"I am very happy with the way Ibrahimovic played. Del Piero is an important player for Juve, so we need the fans to help us rather than create splits within the squad. It's counter-productive."
