Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri wants to transform CR7 into CR9.
In Italy, after Juventus, it is Napoli that goes to the Coppa final. The Napolitans drew Inter last night (1-1) and thanks to their 1-0 first leg win will meet the Bianconeri in Rome on Wednesday. For the Gazzetta dello Sport, it was Naples in the final and Lautaro Martinez at Barça! Besides, the strong man of this meeting is none other than Dries Mertens who gave the qualification to his team and especially offered himself the record of best scorer in the history of the club with 122 goals, thus anticipating Marek Hamšík and a certain Diego Maradona.
But on the front page of the pink paper newspaper, what interests us is the moulting of Cristiano Ronaldo that his coach Maurizio Sarri wants. Indeed, the Juve coach wants to “transform CR7 into CR9”. After his failed penalty against AC Milan, in the other semi-final of the Italian Cup, the Portuguese would be upset. But his coach is not worried, the fivefold Ballon d’Or will be there for the final. For him, there is no doubt that his striker will get up and that he will be decisive for the end of this exercise and to win the first Juve title this season. For Sarri, there is no doubt, he said.
