What he thinks they need to improve – with or without the Funchal-born – is time management. Have a greater personality and know how to understand what the procedure is asking for. Today against Benevento, even without the Portuguese, they should have won.
“Each team depends on Ronaldo. He also scored a lot for Real Madrid and Benzema not so much. It is normal that the game takes place mainly in him. He is an important player and it is natural that he makes you win games. But it also happens that he is not there and we must be good at winning even without him ”.
“We had handled the first half well, moving forward and creating opportunities. We are still not good at understanding the moments of the game. In a corner kick, instead of taking time, we executed fast, they started again and they scored us (…) When the games get dirty, we can’t win. We do well only when we have the opportunity to play and games are not always like that. It had already happened in Crotone and it was the same way against Benevento. We need to be better at closing matches, we lack personality and we have to work on that“, Declared, as collected Sky Sport Italia.
CR7 did not play because they considered that he needed rest: “Ronaldo had had a problem even before the Champions League game. He wanted to play anyway and we decided together not to bring him to Benevento. When you play regularly, it can happen that someone gets tired and this time it happened to Ronaldo. Too bad because it is an added value for us, but even without it we have to be good to win games ”.
