Juventus legend David Trezeguet believes his former club are going all-out for the Champions League, and assures Cristiano Ronaldo will score soon.
The Bianconeri signed Ronaldo for €100m this summer, which was taken by most as a statement of intent as they try to triumph in Europe for the first time since 1996.
“Juventus have added important values to reach this objective, an objective that isn’t easy to reach because there are other teams who have this objective and have invested a lot,” Trezeguet told Sky.
Juventus legend David Trezeguet believes his former club are going all-out for the Champions League, and assures Cristiano Ronaldo will score soon.
The Bianconeri signed Ronaldo for €100m this summer, which was taken by most as a statement of intent as they try to triumph in Europe for the first time since 1996.
“Juventus have added important values to reach this objective, an objective that isn’t easy to reach because there are other teams who have this objective and have invested a lot,” Trezeguet told Sky.
“Juventus continue their growth, but it’s true they really want that trophy. The club has invested heavily to see if they can reach that objective, because they know very well that afterward the pitch speaks the truth.
“It’s true that Juventus have never hidden from that objective, I think it’s really important not just for the club, the staff and the players, but for the fans too.
“It’s a difficult objective, it’s certainly not easy, but Juventus have been close and I think with these new signings they’ve shown they want to get this very important trophy.”
Ronaldo hasn’t scored yet though, does Juve’s all-time foreign top-scorer have any advice for the Portuguese?
“There’s no advice I could give a player like Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s very aware and he knows that this league is a different league from those he knew England and Spain.
“We’re talking about an extraordinary player though. He wants to show his quality, he’s training very hard and he’ll break his duck sooner or later.
“He’s trying to get to know his new teammates, the new system and new habits but he’s an extraordinary player who has consistently shown he’s a real professional, so I think it’ll come with time.
“It’s not easy, but we’re talking about a player who will break his duck and do really well for Juventus.
“I think a champion like him always wants to score as many goals as possible, and he’s working hard to do that.
“I think at this stage he’s just lacking a bit of understanding of his teammates and what the Coach wants, and in those kind of moments you need tranquility.
“He’ll score sooner or later because he’s an extraordinary player, he’s a player who has shown us that he can score a lot of important goals every year, and I hope he scores soon for the good of Juventus.
“It’s been said by him and his teammates: he’s calm, because Juventus are winning and he just needs to keep growing.”
