Not in vain Juventus reached 100 million euros to recruit Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. Without needing a lot of time, CR7 has now transformed into a La Vecchia Signora goal machine.
Ronaldo showed his capacity by helping Juventus beat Spal 2-0 at Allianz Stadium in Serie A. You could say the attacking midfielder from Portugal was the key to victory because he was involved in creating two goals from the hosts.
Appearing as a starter, Ronaldo opened Juventus' lead after cheating Miralem Pjanic's set in the 28th minute. After that there were no more goals. But, the deadlock could be solved in the 60th minute. And, again because of the services of the 33-year-old player. Although already classified as a veteran, Ronaldo was still able to run fast enough.
Thanks to that, he was able to chase a hull ball which was sent to the left side of the Spal penalty box. Ronaldo then passes it to Douglas Costa, who goes on a hard kick. Costa's kick could be held by goalkeeper Alfred Gomis.
However, the reflection ball can be snatched by Mario Mandzukic. As a result, Massimiliano Allegri's forces maintain an unbeaten record in the Serie A this season, namely 12 wins and one draw. "Ronaldo moves and thinks very fast. He saw Douglas Costa coming from behind and immediately sent feedback. We all need to train instincts like this, "Allegri said, reported by Skysport.
What Ronaldo showed against Spal has completely broken all public doubts. Because, when he moved to Serie A, he had experienced a long famine. But, now, he has gotten nine goals in Serie A.
That made Ronaldo enter the top ranks of the temporary score, equivalent to Genoa striker Krzysztof Piatek. Ronaldo can now match the productivity of top scores in five major European competitions. Ronaldo's collection matches Barcelona duo Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the Premier League.
The incision is also the same as Paco Paco Alcacer (Borussia Dortmund), Sebastien Haller (Eintracht Frankfurt), and Luka Jovic (Eintracht Frankfurt) in the Bundesliga. Ronaldo's sharpness is higher than Sergio Aguero (Man City) as the top scorer while in the Premier League. He only lost to Kylian Mbappe (PAG) and Emiliano Sala (Nantes) in Ligue 1 with 11 goals, and Luuk de Jong (PSV Eindhoven) 12 goals in the Eredivisie.
In addition to Ronaldo, Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic often gets the confidence to play from Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri. Mandzukic has contributed five goals in Serie A in his nine appearances.
Ronaldo and Mandzukic are often credited with spearheading La Vecchia Signora. Allegri prefers to choose Mandzukic instead of Paulo Dybala to duet with Ronaldo. Dybala has contributed two goals in 11 Serie A matches.
