C Ronaldo joined juve lost team genes? Buffon: Not aimed at him, but that's the truth!

Buffon made a point in late December 2021: After Ronaldo joined, Juve lost his team genes. This view caused a lot of discussion, and the veteran Brambati also agreed with Buffon, because Buffon was a party, had contact with Ronaldo, and personally experienced the whole process in Juve's dressing room in those years to understand the truth. If there is no one who has gone through the whole process, there is no way to have a voice on this topic.

These words were indeed said by Buffon, perhaps because public opinion was too radical, and Buffon was interviewed again to talk about his own point of view. According to a report on December 31, Buffon explained the meaning of his words in an interview with the Italian media "Roma Sport". Buffon said he didn't blame Ronaldo, he just told the truth.

Buffon said this: I said that after Ronaldo joined, Juve lost the team gene, which is my conclusion after careful consideration. Buffon said this because he did not want others to misunderstand that he had any contradictions with C Luo, so he pretended to be public and private. When Buffon first said that Juve lost his team genes after C Ronaldo joined, he said that he and C Ronaldo had been in the dressing room for two years, and C Ronaldo was fine. After having this premise, Buffon said that Juve lost his team genes after C Ronaldo joined, and he wanted to prove that he was right about things.

After adding that he was not targeting Ronaldo, Buffon continued to emphasize this fact, saying that "I can clearly say that this is not Ronaldo's fault." Buffon began to explain why he wasn't targeting Ronaldo, and that it was true that Juve lost their team genes after Ronaldo joined.

Buffon put it this way: When you [the club] bring in players of this level, you know what challenges you should face. It is very necessary to know whether other players are ready to be teammates with Ronaldo, and in my opinion, many players at Juve don't know how to be teammates with Ronaldo. So what Buffon means is that Juve did not consider the impact of Ronaldo on other teammates after he joined (here can be added: for example, Dybala's stats and status will be reduced by giving way to Ronaldo, etc.). However, Juve spent a lot of money to recruit Cristiano Ronaldo in such a situation, and the result was not only not to build on the Champions League final, but to be eliminated by European second-rate teams such as Ajax, Lyon and Porto for three consecutive years.

Buffon said: "Something like this should never happen (to bring in Ronaldo without taking care of other players), let alone a giant like Juve. When he (Cristiano Ronaldo) went to Turin, I went to Paris (Greater Paris). When I returned to Juve a year later, I found that Juve was different and no longer what I was when I left. Combined with the context, what Buffon said is that after C Ronaldo joined, Juve lost the team gene. Although Buffon has repeatedly stressed that he did not target C Ronaldo, Juve did not have a team gene after C Ronaldo joined, which obviously has nothing to do with C Ronaldo and is inappropriate.
