Ronaldo hails Sarri impact

Cristiano Ronaldo has backed Maurizio Sarri’s style of football and feels Juventus are “more attacking” under the Italian. Sarri slipped into the Turin hotseat when Massimiliano Allegri’s successful five-year stint came to an end in the summer and has guided the Old Lady to the top of the Serie A standings.
They also sit at the top of Champions League Group D, with four points courtesy of a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid and 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
Next up in Europe’s elite club competition is the visit of Russian outfit Lokomotiv Moscow on Tuesday and victory will put some daylight between themselves and the chasing pack.
Ronaldo will doubtless play a big part in proceedings having scored his first goal of this season’s competition against Leverkusen, and he has given a big thumbs up to the work Sarri has done in the early part of 2019-2020. “I think the team is getting better,” he told reporters on Monday. “We are getting more and more confident. We are playing a different brand of football, more attacking. “I like the way he wants the team to play. We are creating more opportunities, we have more confidence in ourselves.”
Juve have won eight straight Italian top-flight titles but have not tasted Champions League glory since the 1995-1996 campaign.
It remains to be seen if they can go all the way this term but it would be a brave man to bet against them claiming another Scudetto after seven wins and one draw to date.
