AC Milan's Gattuso defends Juventus players


AC Milan midfielder Rino Gattuso has jumped to the defence of Juventus' players over Italy's match-fixing scandal.

"I do not want the Bianconeri's Scudettos," said Gattuso. "The players were not involved, those titles are theirs.
"At this moment, the figure that is looking best out of all this is the Italian footballer.
"Sure, there is bitterness and anxiety. It does not appeal to me that in my world there are those who work in this way.
"Moggi, before all this, was regarded as the best transfer expert in the world - I hope that the authorities can straighten the game out again."
