“Juventus is a club where you have to be 100 per cent concentrated every day,” Paratici told DAZN.
“March is a decisive period of the season, we are where everyone would like to be, challenging on all three fronts. Aside from the players we have or don’t have, we will try to bring home the result.
“It’s still early for the Scudetto race, as there are 13-14 games to go. It won’t be decisive, but it is as always a crucial period of the season.
“When you start in August, you want to reach March with everything still up for grabs in Serie A, the Champions League and a Coppa Italia Final on the schedule.”
Ronaldo is only on the bench this evening, rested ahead of the Champions League showdown with FC Porto.
Pirlo had said in his press conference yesterday that CR7 was ready to play, so what changed?
“Ronaldo is ready to play, but the coach speaks to the players, they then decide who needs some rest and who doesn’t.”
