Allegri excludes him from the owners: “He’s fine, but I told him come to the bench.” The company denies new divorce rumors
A question of signals, but who knows if Cristiano Ronaldo burns more to see the winning goal canceled in the 95th minute for an inch of offside or for being on the bench in the championship debut. The first was sent to him by Var, canceling out the joy and emotion of having taken over the world in his own way, while the second came straight to Massimiliano Allegri: “I spoke to him – explains the technician – and I told him “Come on the bench that in the second half there will be a need to enter”. Like everyone else, he made himself available ».
We are not the crime of treason, because with the return of the technician it was understood that the treatment would also change for CR7, but it is the ousting that no one thought they would see on the first day and in full market tussle. Behind the exclusion there is no physical problem, given that Ronaldo trained regularly and Allegri himself said on the eve that he was fine, but a tactical-technical necessity (without him the 4-4-2 works better) which borders on the management of the locker room. Except that all this may have some developments in these last days of negotiations.
The Portuguese champion has never hidden his doubts about the Juventus adventure and also vented his anger in the famous message in which he denied the hypothesis of a return to Real, without ever mentioning Juve and its future in Italy. At the same time it is no mystery that his agent, Jorge Mendes, has been looking for a solution for months to find a new team at the penta Ballon d’Or. The hypotheses that lead to PSG remain standing, in the case of Mbappé’s sale to Real, and City if the assault on Tottenham’s Kane should fail.
But after what happened yesterday in Udine, with Ronaldo on the bench for an hour, the picture could change quickly. Juve is at the window, ready with any alternative plans (above all Gabriel Jesus of the City), and at the same time trying to cool the case. «We must not look for sensations where there are none – replied the vice president Pavel Nedved -: Ronaldo on the bench is a choice shared with the player. Since we are at the beginning of the season, it is normal that the conditions are not at the top and it does not concern only Cristiano, but the whole squad. And then Ronaldo will absolutely remain at Juve ».
The market closes on August 31 and in the middle there is the match on Saturday night at the Stadium against Empoli. These will be busy days at Continassa, all the more so after the incredible wasted victory against Udinese, while Ronaldo’s fate is still to be written. The image of him on the bench has gone around the world, also because a debut without starting Ronaldo (net of injuries) had not been recorded since 2003 in the first year with the United shirt. When he was not yet CR7 and he had to win Ferguson, while here the feeling is that with Allegri there is a fracture to be recomposed and it is not excluded that Cristiano was a bit offended when he realized that he would not have played the starter. «There are many matches and we need to manage everythingthe. I put him on the bench to let him rest – replied the Juventus coach when asked if Ronaldo will be handled differently than in previous years – because the same can be decisive in half an hour: it is an added value and his goals to us. serve “. The wind, however, has now changed.
