Cristiano has received countless criticisms from Italy after his move to Manchester United. After leaving Juventus, the Portuguese star has had to read and listen to countless attacks on his performance at the Turin club. These criticisms have even come to him from some of his former colleagues, such as Chiellini: “It would have been better if he had gone earlier.” However, there are also Portuguese defenders in Italy. One of them is the Atalanta coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, who has defined the crack as an “incredible goal scoring machine”.
“He brought added value to our league. Personally, I was disappointed with his return to England, I would have preferred him to continue in Italy, because I always want the best footballers to play in Italy, even if it costs me some goals against, “said Gasperini in the run-up to the Champions League match against Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United this season after three seasons at Juventus. “I can say that he is an extraordinary player, but I have the impression that I am saying something banal,” added Gasperini.
