Italian sports official and Juventus fan, Evelina Christillin, has spoken about the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The attacker left Juve at the weekend after three years at the club since he joined them from Real Madrid in 2018.
He didn’t leave them positively as he essentially walked out on them despite their tough start to the campaign.
He is back at Manchester United and although he scored over 100 goals for the Bianconeri, not all their fans warmed to him.
Christillin admits she was excited when he joined them because she expected him to help them win the Champions League.
Juve hasn’t won the trophy in almost three decades and Ronaldo dominated the competition while at Real Madrid.
But he never crossed the quarterfinal stage while at Juve, which is a failure because he was signed for that purpose.
She says the club’s fans never truly warmed up to him because of his solo attitude.
She said on Tuttomercatoweb: “The idea was that automatically the Champions League should arrive for me was to think too big. As a fan I say that the hearts of the fans have never taken him for his solo attitude. Nice emotions but only for the sake of extraordinary goals.”
Leave it to Juve fans and sports journalist to assume one man can drag an underperforming management and players to the UCL final and win it. Its funny when people say Ronaldo is not a team player. But where was the Juve team these 3 years. You lost to Empoli – thats saying something.
Ronaldo is a calibre player.
His goals ar rewarding to Juventus an help 2 titles fr Juventus if I am not mistaken.
A master tactician.
not a team player, destroyed our goal difference, extremely selfish and temper tantrum filled. scored against udinese so goals there, the people who worship ronno need to look up Kathryn Mayorga if they think he`s such a hero, and mind ther own business now he`s not here. ronaldo hasn`t been at his peak for 4 years, and real madrid got rid of him, and psg chose messi instead for a reason, horrible fanbase he`s got well rid of them. lost to empoli beacuse of a defensive error, absolutely nothing to do with a prima donna who stole money from us or his toxic fan base. breathing a huge sigh of relief to be rid of both of them
Your response to his departure does not make any sense. Most of ur claims are even absurd, senseless and unreasonable.
Ronaldo did all he could for Juventus in the Champions league. Did u bother to even check who scored most of the Juventus goals in the knock out stages of the competition? No much supports from the midfield and they committed lot of defensive error. A single player can’t win alone regardless of how good he is. It’s the failure of Juve management to revitalise the team so that he could lead them to glory but they failed to do so. What did u expect? With good support, he won a champions league for Manchester United in 2008 and won Balon D’or for himself following his extraordinary performance that season. He replicated this and even more at Real Madrid and made history. They won 4 champions league trophies in 5years including 3consecutives champions league trophies. A record that may not be broken in century years to come. He was at the centre of these achievements. All these did not just happen, but with a strong team with good support. That’s what Juve management failed to do that eluded them of champions league glory during his stay. Ronaldo did not fail! He was the fastest ever Juve player to reach a century of goals.
also cost us ten in a row and a once in a generation goalkeeper donnarumma; one of the worst signings in our history, and the greed of his wages is incredible, 1 million a goal is absolutely disgusting
When he arrived Juve was a well oiled machine,winning trophies streamline ,then on his arrival they let go reigning coach , sold half the players and brought two weakest coaches,off course he should have performed miracles
What’ is it with ron not being a team player..give him a Break for God’ sake.every player have their point player.also, not every player has much assist as much as they score while there are those players that score as much goal to make the difference .ronn is such a player..Ron loves to win that’s why it hurts him if they lose..he saved juve many times in the champions league even though they couldn’t go beyond quarter finals..for once let’s appreciate efforts of whoever has done well wether or not there cup comes or not…he’s human ..gosh!!
Any person who thinks one man can win trophies in a football lied. Football is not a game of one person, it’s a team sports, sign the right manager and players, only then you can achieve that goal as a team, take good example with Chelsea, they signed the right players and a good manager at the right time, I don’t agree with what Juv are saying!
Ronaldo is simply the best in what he does.he try all his best but is unfortunate seeing that some people critisize him
