Ronaldo left out again – Sarri explains why

Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the squad against Brescia last night as Juventus cruised to a win and the pole position in the Serie A title race.

And Maurizio Sarri has explained why he cannot play Ronaldo every match of the season.

Sarri said: “It is difficult; we have many strong players and some are out.

“They are all atypical players, without a specific role. We have many situations to fix.

“Ronaldo is a centre-forward who starts off-centre. Today Cristiano had to rest; he cannot play 75 games there a year between the national team and the club, so we decided to let him recover.”

On Chiellini, he added: “He put himself in the team. He had said it since yesterday. He made six months of great sacrifices.”

Juventus are back in the lead after Inter lost to Lazio who are back in the second place now.

“We can improve on everything,” said Sarri.

“On a defensive level we have room for improvement. We also have room for improvement in attack.

“We have hit the post five times in the last two games, so a little more luck would help us. We must focus on ourselves, instead of looking to others.”
