After the defeat, the sports director of Juventus defended both Ronald and Pirl

After an unexpected home defeat with a newcomer from Benevento 0: 1 in Sunday’s 28th round of the Italian league, Juventus Turin’s sports director Fabio Paratici defended striker Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Andrey Pirl. According to Paratici, both also appear in future plans for “Old Ladies”.

Benevento finished waiting for a win on the field of the big favorite, which lasted eleven rounds. The team ranks 16th with a seven-point lead over the relegation zone. “We could try for hours to figure out what was behind such a negative performance. During the national team break, we have two weeks to carefully analyze and think about everything, but the fact remains that the performance did not meet our standards and we are disappointed.” told Paratici in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.

The winner of the previous nine years of Seria A is currently losing ten points from the third position to the leader of Inter Milan. In the Champions League, he was eliminated in the round of 16 with Porto, for which Ronaldo received criticism, as he defended the wall loosely in the wall with the Portuguese team’s goal from a direct kick in overtime. Subsequently, speculation began about his future in the club. “We decided to keep Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s the best player in the world.” said Paratici.

“We started the project at the beginning of last season and one match will not change our view or strategy. We continue in the set line and we are very happy with what we have done so far. We will continue to improve.” said the 48-year-old Italian.

Pirlo also doesn’t have to worry about a place in his first coaching engagement. “We were not dissatisfied with the previous coaches, we decided to replace them for other reasons. Just like defeat or victory, the club project will not change. If we agree on a concept, we will lead it to the end.” stated Paratici.

“If we’re just talking about the results, there are clubs that have been rebuilt for seven, eight or ten years and haven’t won or laid any foundations during it. People may not even realize it because we’re still winning, but we’ve done it in recent years. many changes, we have reduced the age average of the staff several times to build a successful future, “ said Paratici.

According to him, the club has heard several times in the past that its era is coming to an end. “For example, after the defeat with Galatasaray Istanbul, the end of Coach Conte, the Berlin Champions League final in 2015, the beginning of last year, when we lost ten points to the lead, or when we replaced Allegri with Sarrim, etc. We still won. you don’t win everything at once. But it’s part of the process. “ said the former player.
