Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri, has not considered the defeat of Cristiano Ronaldo any great thing, saying such a thing can happen to everyone.
The Portuguese striker had a golden opportunity in the second half of yesterday’s match to deepen the score against Chievo, however 39-year-old goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino managed to defend Ronaldo’s shot.
Despite the fact that Ronaldo missed this opportunity, Juventus managed to win this match easily, winning a 3-0 win with goals scored by Douglas Costa, Emre Can and Daniele Rugani.
At the press conference after the game, Allegri announced that the team’s victory is more important than Ronaldo’s penalty. However, the Italian strategist admitted that Ronaldo tried more than usual to score a goal in the first half of the match.
“Significant penalties are in other cases … you may lose a penalty. I do not think this is the first time Ronaldo is losing a penalty in his career, “Allegri said.
“After all, the most important thing is that the team won. He [Ronaldo] wanted to score and in the second half he was much better technically. In the first half, he was hesitating to find the net of the gate. ”
“While the second part of the match, he played much easier football and he had two or three good times to score.”
