Why Juventus no longer needs Cristiano Ronaldo to win games and trophies


For the first time in Cristiano Ronaldo's career he is no longer the star man in a team, the go-getter neither is he good enough to play 90 minutes of football.

Fabio Capello a two times Champions League winner manager with Real Madrid and AC Milan made a telling revelation of the player.. He revealed Ronaldo hasn't dribbled past any player for 3 years, its just step overs and occasional cut backs. 

Ronaldo no longer has the speed and dynamism he has shown in his younger days and now needs more time to recover.

He has lost that physical strength to play every 3 days and now needs more time to recover. At best, Ronaldo will perform at the highest level if played every week not after three days.

Capello had this to say about Ronaldo who vented his anger when Maurizio Sarri decided to take sub him in the 55th minute against AC Milan after watching him struggle. 

Ronaldo didn't like it, his childish tantrum baffled Capello who took a vile dig at him and revealed what other top managers think about him. 

"I didn't like this, it wasn't nice", Capello told Sky Sports Italia. "He must be a champions even when he comes off the pitch. 

"The truth is that Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't dribbled past an opponent for three years. I did the commentary when he usually took the double step and left you there. Inside him is a super-champion, the best of all, but now there is Dybala and Douglas Costa, who made two sensational goals. 

"Dybala in excellent condition can make the difference, as can Douglas Costa. They win games without Ronaldo. Juve seemed dependent on him, instead the great squad and the quality of the players helps them win anyway".

Juventus is the first team in Seria A history to win 8 consecutive Scudetto titles and this season they've started in fine fashion by winning 10 games and drawing 2. 

"Bravo Sarri, who had the courage to take him off, it takes personality, especially thinking that all the players in the squad can play and make a difference. Cristiano did it for a while, but now it's not him and he must recover- especially on a physical level. He does not have the speed and dynamism he has shown at other times". 

Cristiano Ronaldo as we all know has a giant mentality and won't be thrown off balance by what Fabio Capello or anyone's says about him.. He will want to prove he is the best player at Juventus and win them games from now single handily.  

But the fact remains, he is no longer the 25-year-old exciting winger that we all fall in love with. Ronaldo is 34 and now needs more time to rest and recover. 

It will be wise for him to retire from the international scene and focus more on club football.

10 years without a trophy! Its time Harry Kane ditch Tottenham Hotspur

Last season was memorable, Tottenham Hotspur were very close to lifting their first ever Champions League trophy. If they had won it, Spurs would've been the dream club of every elite player.  Superstars all over the world would've joined at the opportunity to play for them while the likes of Christian Eriksen, Vertonghen, Ross and others won't hesitate to extend their contract. But the defeat to Liverpool was sour and the bitter taste have lingered on till this very day.  Spurs have dropped to a level of mediocrity never seen before and questions are beginning to be asked about the manager's commitment to the club's course as well as players.  The top players are running down their contract with the view of moving else where there's a realistic chance of winning trophies.  That idea of leaving has gobsmacked Harry Kane who now knows he might never win a single trophy with Spurs despite having Mauricio Pochettino as his manager.  Why? Tott...

Manchester City star Raheem Sterling or Liverpool ace Sadio Mane: Who is world's best left forward

On current form and performance, Liverpool star Sadio Mane and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling are world's finest left forwards in football..  Both stars are extremely fast, strong, skillful, creative and above all, very good in finding the back of the net.  They both average a ratio of 1 goal a game and created at least 4 to 5 chances each game.. But the question is which of the two is better.  Raheem Sterling:  Sterling have remained pivotal in what Pep Guardiola is planning to do at Manchester City. In his 4 year sting at City, the English man has won 7 trophies including back to back Premier League titles while scoring a staggering 89 goals in 132 appearances..  Rated as the second most expensive player after Kylian Mbappe, Sterling has taken his game to whole new level.. He is arguably the best player in the Premier League..  Sadio Mane Mane is a gem, an industrious player who works his stocks off for the team. W...

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp reveals who will replace 'injured Fabinho in midfield'

Liverpool FC have confirmed Fabinho will be sidelined for the next 6- 8 weeks with a ankle injury. The Brazilian will miss roughly 10 games including the FIFA Club World Cup scheduled to be held in Qatar.  His absence will be felt, knowing he has developed into of the best holding midfielders in the world. But Liverpool have enough midfielders reckons Jurgen Klopp who has pinpointed 3 players who he think can play that role.  Naby Keita, Adam Lallana, Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson are the four players Klopp believe can play that role.  Realistically, only Jordan Henderson can play that role perfectly due to his physical strength, tenacious tackling and discipline..  "Naby is OK. No more injuries from Napoli other than Fabinho", Klopp told reporters during his press conference.  'It's an opportunity for someone, of course. Hendo, Gini and Lallana have all played it. We can system too. Losing a player of Fab's quality is a blow but we are not th...

The 3 reasons why Manchester City might never win the Champions League under Guardiola

Winning the Champions League is difficult, a very difficult competition that only few clubs in Europe have managed to win in history.  Real Madrid might have made a mockery of how difficult it is by winning it 13 times of which 3 were won in quick succession. But over the years it has shown that achieving that fate involves more than just having Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.  It requires having a world class team alongside with a very good bench that can rival the best teams in Europe.  The team and manager must believe its possible to beat the best and be the best at all times. That self believe is what is lacking in Manchester City and hampering their progress in the Champions League.  Pep Guardiola might have won it 2 times with Barcelona but winning it again with Manchester City will be much harder.  Why? The fans don't believe, they're not as passionate as fans in Anfield who always give their players the aura of gods when they pla...

Why Adrian feels he should be Liverpool's no. 1 and not Alisson Becker

For the first time in 10 years, Liverpool have two talented goalkeepers going to head to head for a starting spot.  The first is Alisson Becker who is currently injured after picking up a calf injury in Liverpool's first match of the season. But before his injury, Alisson proved he is a world class keeper by leading Liverpool to their sixth Champions League.  He is the only goalkeeper in history who succeeded in winning the Champions League, Premier League and Copa America best goalkeeper.  He is also UEFA Best Goalkeeper and FIFA World Best Goalkeeper. Alisson is a modern day shot-stopper who combines athleticism with good reflexes, accurate passing and an incredible footwork.  But his injury has paved the way for another to emerge from shadow into the spot light.  Adrain is finally fulfilling his talent and developing quickly into one of world's finest goalkeepers.  With Liverpool, he has won his first ever trophy as a player by keeping Chels...

From £90m to just £15m: Thomas Muller finally heading to Liverpool

According to Bild, Thomas Muller will join a Premier League team this summer after growing disillusioned with life on the bench. The 30-year-old is currently relegated to the bench and only used sparingly to give rest to the likes of Philippe Coutinho or Sergi Gnaby. Such demotion from Niko Kovac has hurt him deeply and now he wants to move to bigger and better club.  Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of his German World Cup and once tried to convince him to join him at Liverpool back in 2017..  Klopp was ready to pay £90m to bring him to Anfield but, Muller felt Bayern Munich still loved him and were capable of winning both domestic and European trophies.  He was absolutely right with that assertion back in 2017 but today, Muller is back up player who can't even get into a team that contains the likes Sergi Gnabry, Philippe Coutinho, Kingsley Coman and others.  Fed up with having to watch others player while he sits on the bench, Muller has reportedly spoke...
