Cristiano Ronaldo is a competitive animal. He wants to play every single minute of every match where he is available in Juventus. But yesterday, that did not happen and that started a fire with Andrea Pirlo. When the coach subbed him off versus Inter on the 75th minute, the GOAT looked him with a bad face and whispered something. He was angry.

Pirlo does not want anybody to start conflicts within the squad, no matter his skills or status. He will not put out with any strange behaviours and will remind everybody he is in charge if he has to. So he defended his decision of subbing him off like he always does with Ronaldo's teammates.

The manager said that CR7 has to be ready for the upcoming matches that Juventus has in the next days, and he does not want him to make extra efforts. The club is struggling in theleague so Pirlo wants his main star to be rested when he the team faces AS Roma next Saturday.

Juventus is fourth in Serie A, but with a pending match, might be third. That position is still not good for the Old Lady, that has won the last nine editions of the Italian league. They do not want this hegemony to ever end, so that is why Pirlo is focused on that competition and rested Ronaldo in that Coppa Italia game.
