KOK Sports News On August 27, Manchester United officially announced the return of Ronaldo. Juve's tactics changed drastically because of the departure of the core, and manager Allegri had to exchange the result with "ugliness", using a low-key way to survive the game before the team could find and adapt to the new way of playing. Despite this, they have had a tough start to the season in the league, finishing seventh in 10 rounds, 13 points behind napoli at the top of the table. After winning the first 3 rounds, the last 2 rounds have suffered a low tide of 1 draw and 1 loss.
Before this round of away games against Verona, coach Allegri admitted at the press conference that Ronaldo's departure did have a great impact on the team, but if he could go a month earlier, Juve could sign a replacement player early, and it would not cause the current passive situation. Previously, Bonucci and Chiellini had said in interviews that when C Ronaldo was there, Juve could not become a united team as before, and C Ronaldo's "difference" with others created a division to a certain extent. In this regard, Allegri believes that the words of the second elder have been misinterpreted by the media.
Allegri said: "I learned one thing, that is, what we say will be misread by everyone. I believe Chiellini said good things about Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo is an extraordinary player, I have had the honor to coach him, and I have also coached a lot of championship players. C Ronaldo left on August 28, leaving only 3 days from the closing of the transfer window, and it is basically impossible to find a replacement. The club have done a good job signing Keane, he's a player who can score key goals and I'm happy about that. But if Ronaldo can leave a month earlier, the club will have the opportunity to prepare for the new season in another way. However, this is a transfer market matter and will not cause any problems. ”
On the same day, Juve just opened a shareholders' meeting, at which shareholders questioned the "Ronaldo strategy": Juve spent 110 million euros in transfer fees in 2018, and finally exchanged 101 goals, and up to more than 20 million transfer fees, and the expected Champions League champion did not appear, or even farther away. President Agnelli said: "Thinking about what Ronaldo has done on the pitch, we would like to thank him for the joy he has brought us. The biggest regret is the epidemic this year and a half, we are all playing in empty space. Morata said he was right to put on a Juve jersey and feel a sense of responsibility. I am the president of the club and I know that Juventus is above all personal. We need to reclaim our values: work, sacrifice and discipline. These values will give us results on and off the field. ”
In addition, argentine defender Cristian Romero's sale was also held accountable. In the summer of 2019, Juve signed Romero from Genoa for 26 million euros and let him continue to rent in Genoa for a year, and then a season later Romero subleased Atalanta, and this summer Atalanta only spent 16 million to buy romero out, but then, Juve's former director Paratic, dug Romero in tottenham, according to media reports, the transfer fee may be as high as 55 million euros. Juve appears to have taken the lead in the deal.
According to financial figures released by Juve, they lost 210 million euros last season, and President Agnelli reiterated that the European Premier League is "not only right, but necessary" and Juventus will not abandon the European Premier League plan. Asked about the subject, Allegri said: "I'm tired enough to be a coach. The President is on the front lines and he knows what we need to do. I believe that in order to improve the quality of football, some important decisions need to be made. Speaking about the Serie A title race, he said: "I believe Inter are still favourites, but Milan and Napoli are doing a good job, they are strong contenders for the title. Then, in football anything can happen and we just focus on ourselves. ”
