Andrea Pirlo has labeled Cristiano Ronaldo as a ‘real champion’ and an ‘example for everyone’.
The Juventus boss only has one bit of advice for his star player – to keep it going.
Ronaldo took his tally for the season up to eight goals in only five Serie A games by scoring a brace in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Cagliari.
The forward was brilliant throughout the match. He laid out three chances for his teammates to score, made two recoveries, and won five duels.
“He is a great professional, as we already knew,” Pirlo told DAZN.
“He is a real champion and sets the example for everyone around him, both in the matches and in training.
“The only advice I can give him is to keep going in the same way.”
It was a dominant all-round display for Juventus and couldn’t have been more welcome after winning just one of their previous four league games.
