According to Juventus Turin coach Maurizio Sarri, Cristian Ronald’s performances go up every game after the coronavirus break, but he still needs to improve. According to Sarri, a busy calendar will help the Portuguese gunner to do this. Juventus defeated Lecce 4-0 in Friday’s 28th round of the Italian league, to which 35-year-old Ronaldo contributed with a goal from a penalty and two passes, while assisting with an elegant heel at Gonzal Higuín’s shot.
“Cristiano is playing in good shape now. With each match, his performance goes up, but he still has to improve after a break. He needs to play a lot. In the future, we can spare him a little. He listens perfectly to his body and knows well when he needs to rest. But now she feels pretty good. “ Sarri told a news conference.
After a clear victory over Lecce, he also praised Higuuaín. “It’s very important to us. He’s one of the best midfielders in the world. It can be crucial for us at the end of the season,” said the Italian coach. The 32-year-old Argentine spent almost two months in his homeland with a sick mother during a coronavirus break. “He has gone through a difficult period, the crisis has hit him hard and left traces on him,” stated Sarri.
Juventus won the second league match after the restart of Serie A. He played a power play against Lecca after the exclusion of Fabio Lucioni from the 31st minute, and after a change of sides, the “Bianconeri” were shot. “It wasn’t an easy match. At first we had problems, we lacked energy, even though we tried our best. We already added at the end of the first half. When you play every three days, it happens that we don’t start as expected.” Sarri said.
“Numerical superiority allowed us to score goals for an opponent who was tired in the second half. I liked our approach because we attacked to the end.” praised the former coach of Empoli, Naples or Chelsea, with whom he won the European League last year.
The Turin team on the way to the ninth scudette in a row leads an incomplete table seven points ahead of Lazio Rome, who is facing a duel with Fiorentina today. “The most important thing is to focus on yourself,” stated Sarri.
