FATHER OF ITALIAN teen sensation Moise Kean says Juventus still owe him two tractors over his son’s signature.
The 19-year-old striker scored one of Italy’s six goals against Liechtenstein on Tuesday and looks set to become one of the best young forwards in Serie A in the coming years.
However, speaking ahead of last night’s Euro 2020 qualifier, Moise’s father, Biorou Jean, appeared disgruntled with the Italian giants.
“Moise supported Inter as a kid, because he loved Obafemi Martins and kept pestering me for his shirt,” he told Rai Radio 1 show Un Giorno Da Pecor.
“He played for Torino, but I sent him to Juve, because I am a Bianconeri fan. I am very happy for him, even if I have a problem with the club Juventus.
They won’t give me any more tickets to the stadium. I am separated with Moise’s mother and she, in the past, wanted to move him to England.
“I promised Juve that I’d keep him in Italy, but wanted two tractors in return.
They said it wouldn’t be a problem, but I haven’t received them yet, now they won’t give me tickets or even take my calls.”
He added: “I won’t be at the stadium for tonight’s game with Liechtenstein, but I’ll watch it in the bar with my friends and cheer him on.”
The Azzurri made it two wins from two in their European Championships qualifying campaign with a 6-0 win over Liechtenstein.
Kean scored his debut goal for his country during a 2-0 victory over Finland on Saturday evening.
Italy sit top of the table and will be heavy favourites to progress ahead of fellow Group J opponents Greece and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Although there is mention of green 6 dropping a shoulder in to gold 10 after Earls attempts to ground the ball there is no mention of gold 10 firstly grabbing him back by the neck as he attempts to ground it. Should this not have led to a penalty try and also anther yellow card?
More great analysis , exvellent reading
I thought this ref wad really solid in the first half. Our have double the yellows in the context of them giving away double the penalties was ridiculous. And that we got a first infringement yellow to Healy when they were allowed multiple infringements on the line, and us getting a deliberate knock on penalty after they had deliberately knocked on twice was crazy.
I think on a different day POM would have had two pens and a yellow card given against him – it goes to show how much people overreact (either way) to one performance – the devil is in the detail.
Great analysis.
Would be good to get a summary as well at the end.
@Andrew Hurley: summary, there are definitely times where either side could feel slightly hard done by, but overall the match was reffed quite well. And refereeing in general was much better this week and much more consistent than last week across all games.
I like the tone of this article . The assessment given by your Ref was very fair. However the variance between Southern Hemisphere ref on Yellow/Red cards differs significantly from our Northern refs. Especially when leniency is given to the home teams during current tours. The red card given to the French 15 was probably a bit harsh and did seriously effect the result while a similar tackle by an Aussie barely scraped a yellow card. Consistency is all we want please
I was confused by this:
“When the ball leaves the hooker’s hands the lineout is over.”
Law 18, sections 36 and 37 seemed to disagree:
36. The lineout ends when:
The ball or a player in possession of the ball:
leaves the lineout; or
enters the area between the touchline and the five-metre line; or
goes beyond the 15-metre line.
A ruck or maul forms and all of the feet of all of the players in the ruck or maul move beyond the mark of touch.
The ball becomes unplayable.
37. Other than by moving to the receiver position if that position is empty, no lineout player may leave the lineout until it has ended. Sanction: Penalty.
The answer, I think, is in 28.d:
Leave the lineout so as to be in a position to receive the ball, provided they remain within 10 metres of the mark of touch and they keep moving until the lineout is over.
Get a life son , it’s over and done with, move on
