I wonder how Mr plattini will react or if he will. Sissoko wants action on racism Mohamed Sissoko has called for action against racist fans at Juventus Juventus midfielder Mohamed Sissoko has called for action against the club's fans after yet more racist chanting. The Mali star reacted after the Juve crowd sang abusive songs at the club's Champions League defeat by Bordeaux. Juventus were forced to play one match behind closed doors last season because of racist chanting aimed at Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli. "Juventus have taken all the necessary steps - now the institutions must intervene," Sissoko told Italian radio. The club have just been fined by the Italian league after supporters chanted "jump up and down and Balotelli will die" at Sunday's 1-0 home win over Udinese. Inter Milan's Mario Balotelli has been a target of abuse by Juve fans "We as players have repeated our position against racism at every opportunity," Sissoko said. European football's governing body UEFA could investigate the chants in Bordeaux but because they happened before the game started they might not be included in the referee's report. That would reduce the likelihood of any sanctions being imposed. Second-placed Juventus host Serie A leaders Inter on 5 December and Inter coach Jose Mourinho has said he believes there is a chance the game would be moved away from Turin.
