Former Italian national footballer Antonio Cassano believes that the main culprit of the current failures of Turin's Juventus is forward Cristiano Ronaldo. "The team acquired the Portuguese to triumph in the UEFA Champions League, but with him they performed even worse than before. Juventus would have won the Scudetto even without C. Ronaldo, so this project failed. Yes, he scores goals because he is excellent at doing that. Portuguese's head game is unique in general. However, coach Andrea Pirlo wants to build the game, press the opponents, play "between the lines", and in these actions Cristiano is almost not involved," clarified A. Cassano to "Corriere dello Sport". In this Serie A season, C. Ronaldo scored 19 goals and made 3 assists in 20 matches.
