On the day after the clear 3-0 defeat against AC Fiorentina (to the match report >>), Cristiano Ronaldo appeals to his team via Instagram for the coming year 2021.
“Yesterday we finished our planned games for 2020 with a poor performance and a result beyond the acceptable, a special year in many ways,” the Portuguese star wrote on his profile.
He is primarily addressing the corona pandemic, which has hit national football in Italy as well as international football. “Empty stadiums, corona protocols, postponed games, long mandatory breaks and a very tightly knit calendar,” the 35-year-old enumerates.
Juve is panting after the Milanese teams
However, this is not an excuse. Juventus have to do more to play better and win, he says. Hopefully the break will help to come back stronger. “We’re Juventus! And we just can’t accept anything less than top performance on the field!”
The defeat against Fiorentina was a damper for Juve in the race to catch up. At the top of the table, the two teams from Milan, Inter and AC, deliver a neck-and-neck race. Both teams are still challenged on Wednesday: AC around the Swedish star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic receives at home Lazio Rome (from 8:45 p.m. in the live ticker). Inter have to go away at Hellas Verona (from 6:30 p.m. in the live ticker) compete.
In the debut season of coach Andrea Pirlo, Juventus is fourth, six points less than Inter and seven points behind leaders AC Milan. However, this is not due to Ronaldo, despite the corona infection, the Portuguese has already scored twelve direct hits at the beginning of the season as the league’s top scorer.
