Ronaldo Praises Sarri’s Attacking Philosophy
Cristiano Ronaldo has voiced his admiration for Maurizio Sarri’s attacking style of play after Juventus’ continued their unbeaten start to the season with victory over Bologna on Saturday.
Ronaldo was once again on the scoresheet- his fourth of the campaign and his 701st career goal- as the Italian champions preserved their one-point lead at the top of the table.
Maurizio Sarri only arrived in Turin from Chelsea over the summer but the former Napoli boss has already won for himself some glowing adulation from the five-time Ballon d’or winner for tweaking Juventus’ formation into a more attacking one.
"This season we're playing more attacking football," Ronaldo said ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Russian outfit Lokomotiv Moscow in Turin.
"We are using a new system which I like. I like the way Sarri wants us to play. I think the team is more confident, we create more chances and you can see that by the way we move the ball. I am happy as are the team.
"We play more forward and we're improving week by week. We are more confident. We play, in my opinion, a different type of football, in attack with more possession.
"My role is similar, maybe a bit freer in the way I feel comfortable and the way I feel good. Step by step we should be Juventus. We have a different coach, a new system, new players and I think we have changed for the better."
Juventus go into the game top of Group D ahead of Atletico Madrid, Locomotiv Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen.
