‘Lost that DNA’ – Ronaldo accused of disrupting Juventus ethic​

DECEMBER 24, 2021 - 10:07 PM
Gianluigi Buffon has blamed Cristiano Ronaldo for changing the dynamic of Juventus squad.
The Old Lady have been on a downward spiral in recent seasons, dropping from clear title winners, to narrow winners, and onto simply scraping into the top-four last term.
This season isn´t looking any better than the last at present either, and while I would intimate that the constant managerial changes have definitely played a role, Buffon believes that the signing of Cristiano was the major change for the club.

‘Juventus had the chance to win the Champions League the first year he arrived, which was the year I was at Paris Saint-Germain, and I couldn’t figure out what happened,’ Buffon told TUDN.

‘When I returned, I worked with Ronaldo for two years and we did well together, but I think Juventus lost that DNA of being a team.

‘We reached the Champions League final in 2017 because we were a side full of experience, but above all we were a single unit and there was this competition for places within the group that was very strong. We lost that with Ronaldo.’

While it is hard to disagree with Buffon, the decision to sign CR7 stems from the top. The dynamics of the team land on the head of those in charge, and the reality is that he did his job in front of goal.

Does Buffon appear to be blaming Ronaldo or simply his time in Turin?
 
I was a bit surprised that Spurs did not get thrown into the list of clubs that would be after him if he indeed is going to leave...
He would not fit into Conte's system anyway.


Cristiano Ronaldo 'wants to leave Man United' with Roma keen

Cristiano Ronaldo 'wants to leave Man United' - with Roma rivalling Sporting Lisbon to sign him, says an ambitious report in Italy... with the forward said to 'not feel involved in Erik ten Hag's project'​

  • Cristiano Ronaldo's second spell with Manchester United could end early
  • Reports in Italy claim the 37-year-old doesn't feel part of the United rebuild
  • Erik ten Hag has come in as the club's new manager and will overhaul squad
  • Ronaldo is also put off staying by a lack of Champions League football
  • The report links him with a move to either Roma or a return to Sporting Lisbon
  • But it's highly unlikely either could afford Ronaldo's enormous wages

If we decide to go down that route it will be for Bale or Eriksen... Not CR7©®™
 
First you won't give an answer on whether the earth is flat or a sphere, now you're going on about qi.

What's next, powdered rhino horn to fix your flaccid dick?

How did I magically know you’d reply?

Repeatedly relayed, it is both, and fundamentally neither? A learning portal?

Prefer Rudolf Steiner and Cows Horn, with his Magic, as a vital fertiliser… that is also about making the Calcium Vital?

Don’t think it matters. That’s two clubs in a row that got worse after signing Ronaldo. Is just Ronaldo being on the team making them worse? Probably not. But clearly he is not making the TEAM perform better. A big problem is that the resources required to sign Ronaldo outweigh his benefit to the team. And those resources would have been better spent elsewhere.

Apparently the Gooners had a £51 million bid rejected and we haven't decided on a bid yet, but Napoli value him around £85/86 million. Maybe they will accept a bit less? I still think with negotiations he'll be about £70 odd Million..

.. so not looking likely at all, unless we can do a swapsy with Ndombele to reduce the fee and get him offloaded properly.
