The surprising statement of a historical of the Italian team about Cristiano Ronaldo

Juventus faces a life or death match today. Pirlo's men play a large part of the season in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Porto. The Portuguese team defends 2-1 in the first leg and Juventus maintains an irregular line. It comes from going back to Lazio, in a match in which Morata was the star with two goals and Cristiano did not participate, because Pirlo gave him rest.

The fact that Juventus came back with Morata as leader has opened the debate about the future of the Vecchia Signora, even more so when the club has announced 113 million losses in the last balance due to the pandemic. Cristiano costs Juventus about 55 million each season and he still has one more campaign signed with the Piedmontese club.

In addition, from Italy it is pointed out that Juventus should also position itself in the career of the players who are going to dominate the soccer planet in the future. Cristiano Ronaldo is already 36 years old. In that sense, Vieri and Antonio Cassano have once again discussed the situation of Juventus and Cristiano's role in it on Bobo Tv. Vieri believes that the Portuguese "has not yet adapted to Pirlo's idea of the game." Although the Portuguese has 27 goals in 31 games.

"Against Lazio, a great opponent, Juventus played a good game without him", says the former striker. Cassano pondered that idea and added his point of view. "Cristiano cannot be a problem but at this point where, thinking about an important investment like Haaland, I think you can sacrifice someone like Cristiano. For Pirlo's game another type of player is needed: Cristiano participates little in the game. I play. In the defensive phase he helps little, he plays little for the team. He does it only to score goals. If Juve wants to start a new cycle, if they want to give Pirlo another chance, I wouldn't be surprised if Ronaldo went to the streets", the former Italy National Team concluded.
