This was bound to happen as soon as the referee whistled at the end of the match in Turin. In-crisis Juventus lost to mid-table Monza on Sunday, as they continue their series of bad events which started with demolition by Napoli (5-1), then continued with 15 points deduction due to (another) fraud and resulted in a near loss to Atalanta (3-3) and another defeat, this time by a former relegation candidate. But all eyes were not on Juventus and coach Massimiliano Allegri, but on the tiny club next to the city of Milano and its famous president. 🗣 “I already received 100 calls asking me to stand by my word”😅Silvio Berlusconi’s promise to his AC Monza players is now due after they beat Juventus today 😳 pic.twitter.com/MXhNlV1DF0— SPORTbible (@sportbible) January 29, 2023 Silvio Berlusconi, under whom AC Milan won everything, a former Italian prime minister, but also a man with many accusations of corruption, bribing and child prostitution got the media attention he (maybe) wanted. At the office Christmas party in December (of all places!), he decided to motivate his players for the upcoming matches in 2023. “We found a new coach, who was at our youth team, he is good, smart, kind, and able to stimulate motivate our lads. I decided to add an extra stimulation, so I told the lads you will play Milan, Juventus, etc, so if you beat one of these big teams, I will have you greeted in the locker room by a bus full of wh***s“ said Berlusconi. What a present at the Christmas party: ‘I’ll bring you a bus full of who**s’!The statement got the attention (as expected), and he later tried to justify himself by claiming it was only a ‘simple dressing room joke’ and that people don’t have a sense of humour, but knowing his wrongdoings years back, which also included prostitutes, nobody believed him. Fellow Italian politician Daniela Sbrollini claimed his statements were ‘usual misogynist language from Berlusconi: a joke in bad taste that leaves you speechless.’Monza surprise Juventus in Turin, time for a Berlusconi promiseSo now, people are calling him to be a man of his word and fulfil the promise. Speaking to La Repubblica, the former AC Milan owner said: ‘Over 100 people have already called me, and they ask me to fulfil my commitment’. Will he, or will he not be a man of his word?##NAJAVA_MECA_6978931##
