Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli watched another failure of the "Old Lady" in the UEFA Champions League with a heavy heart. According to the Italian, the main culprits of the defeats are forward Cristiano Ronaldo and two executives. "The acquisition of the Portuguese from the very beginning was a mistake. I said that from the first days. Yes, he is a great champion, but he is simply too expensive for the Juventus team. Now everything depends only on the club itself and whether they will continue to pay 1 million euros for each C. Ronaldo goal. He did not blame coach Andrea Pirlo. Owner Andrea Agnelli took a risk hiring him. Previously, they listened to the pressure of Fabio Paratici and Pavel Nedved to attract Mauricio Sarri. Now the team needs radical changes," explained the executive, who demanded the heads of the leadership to roll. "P. Nedved was a great champion, but he cannot handle the duties of a vice president. Juventus should consider this issue. Pavel also disappointed by not even attending the last press conference of coach Massimo Allegri. This does not match the style of Juventus. Now the team should free themselves from C. Ronaldo and also take action with F. Paratici."
