G.Chiellini: "C.Ronaldo is like U.Bolt and R.Federer"

Long-time Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini spoke about the famous football personalities - goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

The first footballer moved to PSG last summer, while the legendary Portuguese sniper from Real Madrid transferred to the Serie A champions club.

"It was not easy to replace G. Buffon in the captain's duties.

You have to balance the team, and this happens in the locker room, where different cultures, moods, habits, and religions prevail. It's quite complex, on the other hand, it's beautiful to share them.

Ronaldo? I am a curious person and a good observer, I like to learn, so it's interesting to see C. Ronaldo nearby.

He is like U. Bolt and R. Federer. This does not mean that you have to try to imitate him, but you can broaden your horizons," Chiellini reassured.

The veteran who continuously triumphs in Serie A was asked if it is difficult for him to maintain motivation.

"H. Lloris, the goalkeeper of the French national team, revealed that after winning the World Cup, it was very difficult for him to come up with new ideas on the field for several months.

I think it was the same with the Italian team, because when Juventus players returned to the team in 2006, they were disoriented.

However, Juventus is different - here victory is above everything, which means that the job is done properly," concluded Chiellini.
