Juventus head coach Maurizio Sarri was pleased with Cristiano Ronaldo getting “unlucky” in the Coppa Italia semi-final against Milan.
Sarri said to Rai Sport (via Football Italia) after the first competitive match in Italy since the outbreak of the COVID-19, “I told Ronaldo to take on a more central position, he was ready to try it out and he was playing the game he needed at this point.
“I don’t believe playing him a couple meters further one side or the other would give such a good player a big difference. Everyone had a strong 30-minute opening and then faded away.”
Sarri told Rai Sport about the player missing a penalty: “He still isn’t used to missing a penalty, but it might go anywhere as he was hitting the inside of the post and was unlucky.”
