Juventus defeated Milan 1-0 to remain at the top of the Serie A table, as a Dybala goal was the deciding factor. Juve manager Maurizio Sarri spoke to the press after the match about the game and the situation surrounding Ronaldo, who left the stadium after being substituted.
"We were prepared to suffer a bit, the spirit was the right one. We must play to the best of our abilities. We opened space and gifted balls in lazy ways. The desire to win and sacrifice was high. Milan had shots on goal, it's true, but all of them were outside the area. Milan is good at dribbling, this evening they played a match better than average, it's a team with values. Higuain? He's becoming a fundamental player even if he is scoring less. He knows how to speak with his teammates."
"Ronaldo is not a problem. Before anything, we need to thank him because he played without being in the best conditions. I preferred to substitute him because he didn't seem that well. If he's angry to be subbed off, it's normal for a player. Especially because he sacrificed to be there. He's had a problem with his knee this month and had a little setback. All players have five minutes to be angry, I think that's normal and a manager likes to see that."
