Alvaro Morata returned to Juventus after signing from Atletico Madrid in the summer. The move saw him move closer to Cristiano Ronaldo, having also played with him at Real Madrid.
“It’s easy to play with him,” Morata told Sky Sport Italia. “I’ve known him for some time. On some occasions when a normal person doesn’t score, he scores. In Parma, I gave him a pass that only he could see and understand. I understand his movements and what he likes to do. I often move his players towards me, and I think that helps him not to always have two or three players around him. It’s a pleasure to play with him, ”said the Spain striker.
Morata added that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players in football history, and praised the qualities of the 35-year-old Portuguese player.

“He’s still one of the best in football history. He’s awesome, has incredible quality and he can play anywhere he wants, whether it’s as a number nine, 10 or 11, ”said Morata.
Morata went on to point out that he appreciates the opportunity to play alongside players of the caliber of Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I can only enjoy it every day, and I hope to support it for a long time. It is a source of pride for me. I grew up watching him and when I got here I thought about playing with him and [Paulo] Dybala delighted me. They are players of a higher level. We have a great relationship even off the pitch. I will tell my kids that I played with them, ”said the forward.
Juventus will travel to San Siro to face Inter Milan on Sunday.
The Spaniard said he was looking forward to competing with Inter striker Romelu Lukaku, whose qualities he praised.
“Romelu is one of the best strikers in the world, he’s complete,” said the 28-year-old.
“At the end of the match, I will ask him for the jersey as a souvenir. We will try to stop him in the field, although it will be difficult. “
