Cobolli, former Juventine president, says it was a mistake to sign him and that CR7 would have to be dispensed with at the end of the season
That football has no memory is a reality that borders on the scientific. Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo He was the god of Olympus and today he lives installed in the twilight of the gods of this blessed sport. Between the one and the other, there is only one elimination of Europe in the second round of the Champions League, against Porto.
The last to join the band of criticism that is falling on Cristiano is the former Juventine president, Giovanni Cobolli , for whom “Juventus need a rebuilding and should do without Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the season.”
Who until a few days ago was revered for breaking historical scoring records has become the origin and the end of the evil that afflicts Vecchia Signora. In fact, the former Turin president is very forceful when it comes to commenting on the forward and considers that the club was wrong when hiring the Portuguese international: “Signing Cristiano Ronaldo was an absolute mistake. I said it from day one. He is a great player, a champion, but too expensive. Now everything is in the hands of Juventus, which pays him a million euros for every goal he scores. ”
These statements, made by the former president of the Italian entity from 2006 to 2009 to Radio Punto Nuovo, are added to those received in recent hours by the Portuguese. Former Juve and Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello criticized the forward’s action at the barrier, arguing that “Is unforgivable” , “Those who are afraid of the ball cannot be on the wall” Capello insisted.
Another to join the barrage of criticism was Alessandro Del Piero by stating that “Cristiano has responsibilities, of course. He didn’t have many chances, but he wasted that header that we used to always take advantage of.” Of course, he had the detail of remembering that Juve is a team of 10 more players and he continued arguing that “However, it cannot be solely their fault: Juve played for more than an hour 11 against 10.”
