The day after the clear 3-0 defeat against AC Fiorentina (to the minutes of the match >>), Cristiano Ronaldo appealed to his team via Instagram for the next year 2021.
“Yesterday we finished our 2020 matches with a poor performance and a result beyond what is acceptable, a special year in many ways,” the Portuguese star wrote on his profile.
It is primarily dealing with the corona pandemic, which has affected both national soccer in Italy and international soccer. “Empty stadiums, crown protocols, postponed games, mandatory long breaks and a very tight calendar,” lists the 35-year-old.
Juve gasps after Milan teams
However, this is not an excuse. Juventus have to do more to play better and win, he says. Hopefully the rest helps to come back stronger. “We are Juventus! And we cannot accept anything less than top performance on the pitch!”
The defeat against Fiorentina was a brake for Juve in the comeback. At the top of the table, the two Milan teams, Inter and AC, deliver a head-to-head race. Both teams remain challenged on Wednesday: AC around Swedish star forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic host Lazio Roma at home (starting at 20:45 on the live ticker). Inter must play away at Hellas Verona (from 18:30 on the live ticker).
In manager Andrea Pirlo’s debut season, Juventus are fourth, six points behind Inter and seven points behind leaders AC Milan. This is not due to Ronaldo though, despite the crown infection, the Portuguese has already scored twelve direct hits at the start of the season as the league’s top scorer.
