That's how Cristiano Ronaldo is behind the scenes.
Since coming out of lockdown, Cristiano has shone. Three games, three goals and two assists, allowing Juventus to begin picking off the competition. The Portuguese international is heading for yet another 30-goal season, something that's been normal to him for more than a decade. Impressive. Winning the Champions League has been Cristiano Ronaldo's aim since arriving at Juventus. He believes he can, he feels it and knows that, aside from his performance, there is his charisma.
Although he is a leader in the changing room, others call the shots. Bonucci, Chiellini and Buffon are the bosses. CR7's role is basic and fundamental: to get everyone working flat out in every training session and every game. On 19 September 2018, in Ronaldo's first game with Juventus in the Champions League, the team beat Valencia at the Mestalla. This was a major triumph because it's never easy to beat this team at home, and because they ended up with a two-nil win despite playing with ten men after Ronaldo was sent off in the 29th minute with the score nil-nil.
The sending-off was unfair, but Cristiano realised that he had hurt his team, and with Maximiliano Allegri on the side-line, the rule was that if a player was sent off he had to pay all his teammates. The custom was to invite everyone out to dinner, but Cristiano Ronaldo decided to give iMacs to each of his teammates, plus all the technical staff and team personnel.
