Former Juventus player: Cristiano Ronaldo was dissatisfied with Sarri’s guidance on set pieces and ate grass to show that he knew the ball better

October 19th Cesena defender Gianluca Frabotta recently accepted an interview with the media. He told an interesting story when he was playing for Juventus.

Frambotta said: "Cristiano Ronaldo serves as a role model every day, and one of his actions also impressed me deeply. I remember that during a tactical training, Sarri showed Ronaldo how to run during set pieces. Ronaldo was a little impatient. He thought he did not need these instructions. He is different.

" And he intuitively knows where the ball will land. To express this to his coach, Ronaldo grabbed a handful of grass, smelled it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. "

It is reported that Ronaldo will chew the grass on some training grounds. He said: "This is how I understand the court and the path of the ball. "

From the summer of 2019 to the summer of 2021, Frabotta played for the Bianconeri. Sarri served as the coach of Juventus in the 19-20 season. Ronaldo scored 31 goals and 5 assists in 33 Serie A appearances that season, helping Juventus defend its title.
