Andrea Pirlo urged his team to improve in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was rested for the draw against Benevento.
Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said the Serie A champions must learn to win without Cristiano Ronaldo after the superstar missed Saturday’s draw against Benevento.
Winning without Ronaldo is important
Ronaldo rested when Juve produced another below par performance in their 1-1 draw against Benevento.
Álvaro Morata’s first match in the 21st minute was canceled by Gaetano Letizia de Benevento at the edge of rest, before the former was expelled upon death.
Juve are three points behind leaders Milan and Pirlo urged his team to improve in the absence of Ronaldo, who has scored eight goals in five Serie A appearances this season.
“Ronaldo is a very important player, not only for us”, Pirlo told reporters after the game.
“It was for Real Madrid and for Juventus before.
“These types of players are catalysts for games and goals, but we must win these kinds of games with or without Ronaldo. We must improve this side. “
Juve have won just one of their last nine away games in Serie A, dating back to last season.
The Italian powerhouse, which has four wins and five draws so far in Serie A, has also drawn at least five of its first nine league games of the season for the first time since 2001-02.
“I’m not worried, but you have to start thinking that the games continue and we are losing a lot of points,” added Pirlo.
“We need to change our path, our mentality and our personality because not all parties are the same. “
