Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time in nine years is preparing for a new season not in the Madrid "Real" club, but in Turin "Juventus".
This summer, the Portuguese decided to make career changes and bid farewell to three-time UEFA Champions League winners in a row. Judging by how the "whites" operate in the player transfer window, it is clear that the team is not at all upset about C. Ronaldo's departure and trusts Gareth Bale and other young talents.
No player will be bought to replace C. Ronaldo, so it is difficult to expect that in the next season Madrid "Real" will have a player who will surpass the 40-50 goal mark.
C. Ronaldo was the main figure in Madrid and during set pieces - he scored both direct free kicks and penalties. The latter never caused any problems for the Portuguese, but he has been struggling with free kicks for several years.
According to "Marca", this relay from the Portuguese will be taken over by the team leader and captain Sergio Ramos. The defender has always stood out for his exceptional attacking skills and such duties are not new to him.
It is almost certain that S. Ramos will take penalty kicks in the most important moments, as well as free kicks from the left flank. On the right flank, there are two candidates - Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio.
S. Ramos has played 565 matches and scored 73 goals in his 13 years at Madrid "Real".
