Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be seen as one of the best players in the world, but the truth is that his recent games for Juventus have been far from his best version. Even in the 1-0 victory against Milan in Serie A, the Portuguese forward was substituted by Maurizio Sarri in the 55th minute to make way for Argentine Paulo Dybala.
Due to his inconsistency in recent weeks, Fabio Capello didn't hold back against Cristiano Ronaldo. In an interview with 'Sky Sports', the former Juventus coach pointed out that it has been a long time since the 34-year-old forward dribbled past an opponent and praised Sarri's personality for substituting him in the last match.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is a great champion and no one can argue that, but it's been three years since he dribbled past an opponent. He's not in a good moment right now, so it's normal for him to be substituted. However, I congratulate Maurizio Sarri because it takes personality to substitute a player like him. Nevertheless, not sitting on the bench and getting into an argument doesn't give a good impression," he said.
Despite his recent inconsistency, Cristiano Ronaldo's numbers this season are not bad: six goals in 14 matches for Juventus. Now, 'CR7' will join the Portugal national team for their matches against Lithuania and Luxembourg in the Euro 2020 qualifiers.
