Juventus wins continuously, but the derby with Milan opened a controversy after Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted in the 55th minute with the score 0:0.
The "Old Lady" eventually won with a goal by Paulo Dybala (who came on for the Portuguese), but the problems didn't end there, as the cameras caught Ronaldo cursing at coach Maurizio Sarri as he left the field. The same substitution, only in the 81st minute, was seen last Wednesday in the Champions League against Lokomotiv in Moscow. And then you could see the dissatisfaction on CR7's face.
- No player should be happy when he leaves the field, not even Ronaldo. He has physical problems and it's a credit to him that he's been playing at all lately - he gave Sara a diplomatic answer that few believed.
Ronaldo didn't even stay in the stadium after the substitution. The media reports that he went home three minutes before the end, and Sari did not deny this.
- If he didn't stay to support his teammates, let him talk to them about it - said the Neapolitan.
Ronaldo played 14 games this season and scored six goals, which is his lowest scoring performance in this period of the season since 2006.
- Sari makes brave and correct decisions. Ronaldo is not in form, but as a great champion he has to be great even when things are not going well. The picture he sent hurts both the club and him. Ronaldo is currently not making a difference in the system that Juve plays, because for three years he did not dribble over a player and created a surplus - legendary coach Fabio Capello said.
After everything, Ronaldo announced himself on social networks with a message that should restore peace...
"Difficult match, important victory," was Ronaldo's brief statement before leaving for the national team's preparations.
