"Cristiano Ronaldo's thing at Juventus is a total failure"

On July 10, 2018, the world of football woke up with news that surprised locals and strangers: Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid and signed for Juventus. This transfer took place after the Spanish cast won the Champions League for the third time in a row and became the only team in history that, so far, succeeded. And in the three seasons that he has played in the Turin team, the Portuguese forward was far from the best version of him, which is why an Italian football legend came out to criticize him with extreme harshness.

It's about Antonio Cassano, who knew how to defend the colors of Rome, Real Madrid, Milan and Inter, among others. "Cristiano will continue scoring goals because he knows how to do it sitting down, but Pirlo wants to press, touch the ball between the lines... and Cristiano participates little. Cristiano has done it fatal these three years, as long as he does not win the Champions League right in this course. To my understanding in Juventus everything is a failure", commented the Bambino.

Far from stopping in his thought, Cassano deepened: "Juventus signed him to win the Champions League, but with him they have done worse than before. The 'Scudetto' would have also won it without him. What happens is that now he is losing to the Scudetto". To close, Cassano explained that the idea of coach Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano does not work together: "For 120 years, Juventus was only interested in winning, but with Sarri and Pirlo they have tried to change their skin. Cristiano does not fit with ideas. from Andrea".

Juventus plays everything in a handful of weeks. The series against Porto, which has him down in the global tie by 2-1 as a result of the first leg in Portugal, appears as transcendental for Pirlo's project, but above all, for Cristiano, who could leave Vecchia Signora in the following season in case of not winning the Champions League.
