Assistant coach: Because Ronaldo likes to walk the most, Pirlo doesn’t want him at Juventus!

October 17th. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been criticized by various peers from time to time, was criticized again by his peers. This time the peer was the head coach who had worked with Ronaldo, the Juventus star and an assistant coach of Pirlo, the former head coach, named Erdem. Erdem is not Pirlo's assistant at Juventus, but Pirlo's assistant at Turkish Super League team Karaguluk. Obviously, this assistant coach knew about Pirlo at Juventus, and it was Pirlo who told him.

The assistant coach told this story when he participated in the German media "Bild" program. He said that when the head coach Pirlo he worked with was still at Juventus, he did not want Ronaldo because Ronaldo liked to walk the most, which did not match his coaching style.

Pirlo likes forwards to also participate in defense and can press the opponent's defense at a high position. The extreme of this style of play is the Barcelona Cosmos team. At that time, Messi took the lead in participating in the defense and directly caused the opponent to collapse. Messi is still good at tackling now, maybe it was a habit developed at that time.

Assistant coach Erdem also said that they have done data analysis, and the data shows that Ronaldo is the worst player in sprinting and high-post pressing. This is different from what Ronaldo fans imagine, because they once hyped that Ronaldo likes to sprint. The materials they used were the illegal start at the European Cup last year and the 90-minute show in a certain Manchester United game. In fact, Ronaldo does like to walk the most.

Assistant coach Erdem said that because Ronaldo likes to walk the most, he is not Pirlo's cup of tea. But Pirlo was powerless, so Juventus gave him Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is Ronaldo after all. Pirlo trusted Morata more. His tactics were incompatible with Ronaldo, so Pirlo was abandoned.

Someone who had a similar experience was Solskjaer, who brought Manchester United to the runner-up position in the Premier League and suppressed Manchester City in various ways during the game. He originally disliked Ronaldo's fondness for walking, so he made Ronaldo a substitute. However, he was warned by Ferguson, and Ronaldo was not happy. Solskjaer could only reuse Ronaldo, but was eventually beaten by Little Bee and dismissed from get out of class in embarrassment.
