Andrea Pirlo has dropped Cristiano Ronaldo against Bologna and Fabio Paratici explains the coach and the Portuguese striker took the decision together.
CR7 stars on the bench for the second time this season, but the first time he was returning from COVID.
The Old Lady need a win to finish in the top four, but Milan or Napoli must fail to do the same.
Andrea Pirlo has dropped Cristiano Ronaldo against Bologna and Fabio Paratici explains the coach and the Portuguese striker took the decision together.
CR7 stars on the bench for the second time this season, but the first time he was returning from COVID.
The Old Lady need a win to finish in the top four, but Milan or Napoli must fail to do the same.
“Ronaldo is feeling well, we played five games in 15 days and the game on Wednesday was demanding,” Paratici told DAZN.
“Together with the coach, they took this decision, if there’s a need, he can enter the pitch in the second half, he is available.”
“We are accustomed to this pressure. We won the Coppa Italia, so we have enthusiasm, it was our second title this season and the 19th of our era. Today’s game is very important, we’ll try to win as we always do.”
Does Pirlo’s future depend on this game?
“A game doesn’t change the strategy of a club. We are focused on this match which is crucial for us, we are focused on it and not on what will happen next.”
