Carlo Ancelotti runs to Cristiano Ronaldo’s defense

The Italian coach had him at Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo is going through a delicate moment. After the end of his adventure with Manchester United, now the many problems in the national team where he struggles to play with continuity. Some think he is at the end of the line, not Ancelotti, his coach in the days when the Portuguese played at Real Madrid.

“Last dance for CR7? I don’t know, he probably still feels 20 years old because he is well, from the body he has the answers he is looking for. He has always taken care of the physique almost paroxysmally. However, the competition has become tough, in Portugal someone like Leao starts from the bench,” Ancelotti’s words to Corriere dello Sport.

The Italian coach adds, “I had him two years, zero problems. In fact, he solved them for me. Can someone who scores at least one goal a game be considered a problem? Cristiano trains very well, he pays attention to details, it was all too easy for me to handle him. He is an exceptional player.”
