Just nine days ago, after the sensational home defeat against Benevento, the former captain of the Juventus Alessandro Del Piero he defended Cristiano Ronaldo, especially for the many criticisms received after the elimination from the Champions with the Porto: “We can’t see it as a problem – the former captain told ESPN – He’s one of the best in the world with Messi. Cristiano is an excellent professional, he scores in every game. It was bought for this. To score and help Juve win the Champions League, even if unfortunately it didn’t go well in Europe. There is a need to build the team around Ronaldo, this is one of the keys ”.
Ronaldo’s reaction
Different words than those used by Del Piero after Serbia-Portugal, race valid for qualification al Global of 2022. A few seconds from the end of the match, at 2-2, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a regular goal not validated by the referee and the linesman. The ball crossed the goal line, but the lack of technology did not allow the Lusitanians to give 3 points.
The reaction of Ronaldo went around the world. After chasing the linesman to claim the goal and being cautioned by Makkalie, the player of the Juventus threw the captain’s armband to the ground and left the pitch immediately after the final whistle.
The words of Del Piero
An unwelcome scene ad Alessandro Del Piero, who also told ESPN: “I think it was a decidedly excessive reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo. You shouldn’t behave like this. It’s okay to get angry, talk about it, raise the issue against the referee. But pulling the band to the ground and walking away is too much, especially for a player like him. CR7 is the team captain and the idol for many ”.
Del Piero has been wearing the headband for years Juventus and knows what it’s like to be a captain. TO Ronaldo all that remains is to answer on the field: first with Portugal tonight against the Luxembourg, then Saturday in the derby against Torino. The goal for the 5-time Golden Ball is to return to scoring and at this point, as regards the match with the national team, also honor and respect the armband, in order to change your mind.
