Juventus coach Ranieri accepts boos after Coppa Italia exit

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri acknowledged the boos from home fans after they lost their Coppa Italia semifinal to Lazio last night.

The Bianconeri were defeated 2-1 in both legs and Ranieri said: "I heard the chants. It's only right that when things go well you accept the praise and when things go badly you accept the insults.

"The public is always right and we must take it all."

The fans were not only insulting Ranieri, but also the players and above all the club hierarchy.

Mauro Camoranesi was one of those singled out for jeers after his red card for dissent.

"He shouldn't have done that, but this is what he's like, sometimes he loses his head. It's the second time in a row and he should not do this," added Ranieri.

"It's not a pleasing climate. We are working and doing our best, but we have to accept the praise and the criticism. We need to carry on and try to secure second place this season."
