Tense moment on the Juventus bench with Conceição: “Shut it, Chico!” | OneFootball

Almost a week after the highly anticipated Turin derby, part of the 11th round of Serie A which ended in a goalless draw between Juventus and Torino, new footage offers another perspective on Francisco Conceição’s ‘explosion of fury’ by the substitutes’ bench.

The episode began around the 65th minute, when Luciano Spalletti tried to change the course of the match by making two substitutions: he took off the Portuguese international and Dusan Vlahovic, bringing on Edon Zhegrova and Jonathan David, who, however, were also unable to turn things around in favor of the Vecchia Signora.

The ‘Bordocam’ from the streaming platform DAZN Italia shows that, at the moment of the substitution, the Bianconeri coach tried to comfort the former FC Porto player, hugging him and kissing his head, but the player made his frustration clear at that moment.

Upon reaching the bench, the 22-year-old forward took out his anger on a water bottle, biting it hard. Dusan Vlahovic tried to calm him down, unsuccessfully, while he mainly complained about the refereeing led by Italian referee Luca Zufferli.

Francisco Conceição then turned to Luca Maggiani, Juventus’ advisor for refereeing matters, shouting “Incredible, it’s incredible,” referring mainly to a corner that was not awarded to him in the first half, after a great save by Alberto Paleari.

The indignation reached such a level that Luciano Spalletti had no choice but to intervene, snapping: “Shut up, Chico!” The tension escalated and a broadcast camera moved closer to the player from Coimbra, which made him even more irritated and led his teammates to try to calm him down.

This attempt ended up having little effect: the newly released footage shows the forward furiously gesticulating towards the camera operator.
