Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri said he sees a better understanding between Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala after the 3-1 win against Genoa and admitted that he hadn’t spoken to Miralem Pjanic from Barcelona.
The Bianconeri smashed three balls behind Mattia Perin, who had impressed against his former teammates in the first half, and continued his run on another Scudetto – still four points ahead.
“I think the team did well in the first half. We had a clear chance of conceding without conceding goals, ”he told Sky Sport Italia after the game.
“It was a good team effort and we scored three beautiful goals. The team recovered well from the disappointment at Coppa Italia, but it was only a matter of time before we were physically well. “
Barcelona’s Miralem Pjanic was on the grid against Genoa and Sarri, claiming that the Bosnian international was happy and expected to play in the remaining games.
“I haven’t even spoken to Miralem these days,” Sarri told Sky Sport Italia. “I did it a lot after the suspension and after the suspension because he was in bad shape for 20 to 25 days.
“We asked ourselves the reason and tried to find the solution. It was a mental decline, more than anything else.
“I am sure that he will do well in this time. I find him happy and calm. I have no worries. “
Sarri praised French midfielder Adrien Rabiot after the final whistle.
“Rabiot’s performance was positive, he’s making progress. Everyone expects a lot from him and it is not easy.
“He hasn’t played at PSG for seven months, moved to another country and changed his style of play. Then he had a physical problem and the break. But it is developing.
Sarri has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best every time he chooses to move the ball quickly, and was not afraid of a reaction when he dropped it in the second half.
“He shot five times in the first half, which means he did more than he should. Cristiano often plays to free himself, but if he chooses to move the ball quickly, he is the best of them all.
“To be honest, I wanted to replace Dybala, then I chose Ronaldo, who played for many minutes. We talked about it in the past few days, he knew he would go 3-0 and he did it with composure. “
Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo have teamed up well against Rossoblu, and the coach believes the two stars have “recognized” the benefits of working together.
“Something has changed in terms of movement, but they have learned to look for each other more often,” Sarri admitted. “They realized that both reap the rewards by benefiting from each other. I also noticed that in training. “
Next comes the Derby della Mole against Turin and Sarri cannot confirm whether Gianluigi Buffon is back in goal as Wojciech Szczesny conceded the first goal after the resumption against Genoa.
“I don’t know, the game has been over for 40 minutes. Gigi has signed a renewal with the club. He has plenty of games to set a new record. “
