With the Turin people you had to save money due to the corona – and the five-time world footballer received a princely salary. The return of the Portuguese to the Red Devils should not have been motivated only financially.
At least that’s what his former Manchester team-mate Patrice Evra (40) thinks. The Frenchman, who also played for Juventus himself, is certain: Ronaldo felt he was being treated unfairly in Turin.
“Ronaldo was the scapegoat at Juventus”
“He needs love and respect,” Evra explains to “La Repubblica”. “He understood that he would be scapegoated in Turin for the bad results at Juventus. But many forget that it is not easy to win the Scudetto, »said Evra.
Juventus President Andrea Agnelli is also complicit. «His words played a part. He has publicly said that Cristiano would not play all of the games. He should have said that in private – because Cristiano influences things like that. “
Without the Portuguese superstar, the “old lady” is still stumbling in the Italian league. Juventus are currently only in seventh place, 13 points are already missing from the undefeated leaders Napoli.
