“Cristiano's problem was those around him”

Alex Del Piero has no doubts: Juventus will react. After their horrible start to the season, the Bianconeri need to lift their heads and their legendary former striker, speaking to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', analyzed the moment like this: “There will be a reaction, I am sure, and we must avoid that this bad start is a burden for those who still do not have strong shoulders to withstand this pressure. The most expert will be essential, and Allegri as well. Now, you have to think only about those who are there, without looking back. “

La Vecchia Signora continues to have many talents: “Chiesa was decisive in the Eurocup, Dybala two years ago was the best of Juve, in defense there are the European champions and then there are De Ligt, Locatelli, many more. The Champions can serve to lift the spirits “.

Inevitable, for Del Piero, to comment on Cristiano Ronaldo's goodbye: “It is clear that he did not want to stay and that, for Juve, not paying such a high salary was good for him. I still think that the attack is very competitive, also without him.” For the Italian, there was a problem during the three years of bianconero for CR7: “The team around him did not grow. Often, Cristiano's performance was separate from that of the rest of the team, and that means that something did not work out. At the European level, the results were not up to the task, but if we think that City have not won the Champions League yet, we understand how investing does not always lead to triumphs. “
