CR7. Always and only him. Cristiano Ronaldo, thanks to an exciting summer that saw the world-class player transfer to Juventus, has been the name on top of everyone's mind. Former players spoke with Tuttosport on the signing of the century and their expectations of the player in the Juventus shirt.
Totò Di Natale: "In Serie A, Ronaldo will find a more defensive type of soccer. But we're speaking of a true champion here, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's able to maintain his incredible form from his Real Madrid days. I followed his arrival and he seems extremely motivated. He said that he didn't come to Italy for vacation, but to continue to score goals. Do I regret saying no to Juventus now that CR7 is there? No. I made my decision and Ronaldo made his own."
Luca Toni also shared his thoughts on CR7 in bianconero. "50 goals is a lot, but we're talking about Ronaldo. If he's able to maintain this average between the league and Coppa games, it'd be something extraordinary. In Italy it's more difficult to score goals than in Spain. In La Liga, the provincial squads play more open than in Italy, where it's more closed. But if Cristiano is able to stay fit, he'll score a lot of goals, maybe even beating Higuain's record of 36 in Serie A. He's a champion. I'm curious to see him, but I think everyone is. This was a fantastic signing for Juventus."
