JAKARTA – Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo says Cristiano Ronaldo looks happy in the locker room after the mega star pulled out of a game against Inter Milan in the 37th Italian League week on Saturday, May 15, local time.
CR7 helped Juventus win over Inter Milan, where the ex-Manchester United player contributed a 24th-minute goal in a 3-2 win over the Bianconeri.
Ronaldo scored with a rebound after his penalty was blocked by Inter Milan goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. CR7’s right kick could not be blocked by the Slovenian goalkeeper.
CR7 also contributed the most shots on goal in the game, creating two of the seven shots that led to the inter goal. Despite very good results, Ronaldo was then pulled out in the final 20 minutes.
Coach Andrea Pirlo replaced Ronaldo for the old lady’s 10th game after Rodrigo Bentancur received a red card in the 55th minute. Bentancur was fired by referee Gianpaolo Calvarese after fouling Romelu Lukaku.
After the game, Pirlo revealed Ronaldo was happy with the substitution. Even the former AC Milan midfielder said it was the first time Ronaldo had been happy when he was substituted.
“I think it’s the first time he’s happy to be substituted,” said Pirlo, reported by Italian Football.
“He was happy and smiling in the locker room,” said Pirlo.
Ronaldo’s happy reaction was clearly different when the former Real Madrid bomber stepped down in the first leg of the 2020-2021 Coppa Italia semi-final on February 2. In the game which ended in a 2-1 victory for Juventus, CR7 was able to score a hug.
Pirlo took Ronaldo out in the 77th minute, however, and was replaced by Alvaro Morata. The fivefold Golden Ball showed a face upset by Pirlo’s decision.
