However, Allegri considered it was because of the adaptation process of Cristiano Ronaldo with Juventus. The coach impressed with Ronaldo’s adaptation.
“Ronaldo held out well physically, has only been training with us for seven days and did really well. It’s a pity he wasn’t able to score a goal,” Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.
“It depends on the characteristics of the players near him. Ronaldo had several shots on target today, Sorrentino made several saves.”
“I was most impressed that Ronaldo settled into the team, he was very happy in the dressing room and had his chances,” Allegri added.
In the next match, Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo will play against a more difficult opponent. I Bianconeri will serve Lazio at Allianz Stadium, Saturday (25/8).
