Sari for Ronaldo: “He scored the most goals in Serie A with me”
Asked about Cristiano Ronaldo and their collaboration at Juventus, Mauricio Sari emphasized that the Portuguese scored the most goals with him, while revealing that he doesn’t like playing as a center forward very often.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Manchester United in the derby against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon (June 3rd, 6:30 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 6 HD and live on Sportish) due to injury.
The Portuguese has received an intense welcome from Crete lately for his presence with the Red Devils, while rumors of a departure from Old Trafford next summer have erupted.
Former Juventus manager Mauricio Sari, who he worked with in the 2019/20 season, was asked about the Portuguese star. First of all, the Italian manager praised their cooperation, stressing that it was with him that Ronaldo scored the most goals in Serie A in one season, while at the same time making a revelation.
“Cristiano has scored more goals with me in Serie A than anyone else (coach). He was willing to play as a centre-forward in some games if we had an emergency, but he didn’t like the idea of doing that on a regular basis.”
In these cases, you end up questioning the certainties the player has. Ronaldo scored 35-40 goals a season from that broader position, so it was an almost absurd request for him. “It’s understandable for his style of play.” replied the Italian coach characteristically.
