Low-key celebrations: Juve defender plasters jeep in three stars after league win

Paolo de Ceglie better not get stuck in traffic in Milan any time soon after the Scudetto winner pimped his ride.

NO SOONER WAS the ink dry on the records stating Juventus were Serie A winners than their defender Paolo de Ceglie darted out to get a new coat of paint on his jeep.

The left-back was part of the Juve squad that clinched their Scudetto number 28 at the weekend after beating Caliagri.

Injury has ruled the 25-year-old out of his team’s remaining league fixtures but he soon found a way of keeping himself entertained.

His jeep has been embazoned with the national flag colours, similar to the badge that Juventus will sport on their jersey next season.

Three stars

De Ceglie posted the picture on his Facebook page on Wednesday and can be seen leaning proudly on the freshly painted bonnet.

One bone of artistic convention that may seriously irk Juve’s rivals is the appearance of three stars on the jeep.

In Italian football, a star symbolises each time a club wins 10 league titles.

Juventus currently stand at 28 official league wins; two titles were stripped from the club after their involvement in the Calciopoli bribery scandal.

At the end of their league-winning encounter with Calgiari in Trieste, hundreds of Juve fans stormed onto the pitch with banners proclaiming Scudetto number 30.

    at the risk og rehashing this sorry episode 1. FA panel and Evra both.agreed that Suarez IS NOT a racist.
    2. Evra’s evidence was founf to be “credible” despite the fact he altred same on at least two points i.e. number of times he alleged he was abused and changed words used.
    3.Suarez never denied uding the term “negrito” google it..its NOT a racist term.in.Spanish..a language Evra is very famiiar with.
    Glen Johnson has a probkem with McGraths input..and he states quite clearly his view (mine too) that Evra had no.intention.of shaking Suarez hand..obvious from.the footage and Evras manic insulting performance at final whistle. I find the references to self pity disgusting and low as they (in lack of evidence ti contrary by posters) are in.my.opinion.as a PROUD LFC fan vlearly a reference to our campaign for justice for our 96 victims of Hillsborough…something a minority of Utd fans even sing about

    Every club has a minority of moronic supporters. Some Utd fans do song about Hillsborough and Heysel just the same as some Liverpool fans sing about Munich. It’s just a minority though.

    It doesn’t matter what Johnson thinks. The issue had died down and he’s brought it up again. He shouldn’t be rising to the vultures in the press. Nothing good can come of it.

    Liverpool need to let the issue go. Suarez was guilty and he has served his suspension. That should be where people move on.

    @Michael J how is it that you know I have “never been to that city”. Stop being so presumptuous you know nothing about me.

    I live in the UK mate, and have been to Liverpool on countless occasions for leisure and for football in the away end at Anfield supporting United. Sure its a good city for going on the lash but greatest city in the world? are you high mate?

    I deplore abuse at any game, be it United, Liverpool or any other fan it has no place in football.

    My reference to self pity is the utterly deplorable reaction the club from the very top has taken throughout the whole of this debacle. Always the victim never their fault. Its been the same Mantra since Rafa was there.

    It wasnt the fact he used the word “negrito” that he was charged for it was the context, he used it in an aggressive and charged situation in which case how can it be construed as anything other than racist! The panel, Evra and I myself don’t believe Suarez is a fundamentally racist person but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t act in a racist manner on this occasion!

    So sports journalists shouldn’t report what sportspeople say?

    And while McGrath’s former team-mate Kevin Moran was certainly a Moran, the vast majority of footballers aren’t Morans.

    Johnson’s interview wasn’t months ago, it came out today. If he had have kept his mouth shut there would be no story. Footballers should be sent on media handling courses to prevent poor PR such as this.

    This story gets hits which means more advertising revenue.

    I’m a Liverpool fan but like the rest of us I’m so bored of it. It’s brought the worst out in everyone. Comments like ‘LFC defending racism while united defends titles’ is the kind of wind up that doesn’t help football fans shut their mouths.
    As if man Utd fans, arsenal fans etc are any better or worse than LFC fans. I don’t hear much about spurs and their outrageous holocaust songs. Every club has a pack of absolute knuckle draggers associated with it.
    Suarez is an idiot. He’s not a racist but he’s an idiot. Evra is also a classless (see end of lfc utd match) idiot who’s comments to Suarez in the document are vitriolic. Not as bad but still moronic. Dalglish should have put it to bed early on and it took an intervention by John Henry inc to put a stop to it.
    As an LFC fan I’d like to get back to my false hope that we’re a quality team with a hope of getting into the champions league while believing the carling cup is significant.

    Suarez is a racist and has been found to be one by an independent panel. Read their report. Johnson is a fool for wearing the t-shirt. Nonsense that he’s his own man, all the players were ordered by Liverpool to wear them and not one of them had the backbone to say no. As for Evra not lifting his hand to shake Suarez, well I had thought only the most deluded and blinkered Pool supporters were buying that. I can’t stand Utd or Evra but in this case they are totally in the right.

    So if you have read the report you will agree that there are many inconsistencies in the evidence?
    Players chose to wear the t-shirts, was the order from LFC to wear them in this report you read too? Id like to see where you have come across this order to wear the t-shirts is.
    There is 1 reason this didnt go to the courts like the Terry case, because it wouldnt have made it in the door.
