Juventus Deny Accidentally Benching Cristiano Ronaldo when fighting the K-League All-Stars

  DBasia.news –  Andrea Agnelli, President of Juventus, also spoke up to comment on Juve’s deliberate accusation of not playing Cristiano Ronaldo against the K-League All-Stars. According to Agnelli, Ronaldo is not recommended to play in the match.

Juventus held a friendly match against the K-League All-Star with the aim of promotion and pleasing supporters in South Korea. In the match, the Bianconeri did not lose Cristiano Ronaldo.

The decision made several fans disappointed. They feel cheated because getting news Cristiano Ronaldo will play at least 45 minutes.

Inevitably, the promoters felt cheated by Juventus. Because, according to them, La Vecchia Signora has promised Cristiano Ronaldo will appear.

The incident made the K-League intervene. The K-League asks Juventus to be responsible for the problem.

However, Juventus chose to wash their hands. The Serie A champion revealed, CR7 could not play because he was having a fitness problem.

“Every player who comes to Korea plays in the match except Cristiano Ronaldo. Our medical staff recommends he have to rest because he has muscle fatigue after fighting against Inter Milan. The match was held just 28 hours before the match in Seoul,” Agnelli said. 

“Therefore, I deny their accusations about being irresponsible, arrogant, and not respecting supporters. We always respect them,” said the leader.

“There is no one at Juventus who wants to embarrass the K-League, the Korean soccer association, or the Asian football confederation,” he added.

Juventus brought Cristiano Ronaldo last season by spending 100 million euros. The former Manchester United player not only had a positive impact on the pitch but also outside. Juventus followers on social media rose dramatically after Ronaldo joined.
