Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri
has played down talk of him having a problem with Cristiano
Ronaldo after the Portugal star stormed off following his
substitution in Sunday's 1-0 win over AC Milan on Sunday.
Ronaldo was replaced by Paulo Dybala, who scored the goal
that enabled to the Turin giants to overcome stiff resistance
from Milan and stay top of Serie A.
Juve, who are aiming for a ninth consecutive Serie A title,
have 32 points from 12 games, one point more than Inter, who
beat Hellas Verona 2-1 on Saturday.
"Ronaldo is not a problem, on the contrary," Sarri said.
"He must be thanked because he put himself at the service at
the team even though he is not in excellent physical shape.
"He has had a problem with his knee for the last 20-25 days
after taking a knock in training.
"Lots of other players would have said they could not play,
but he played even though he was in difficulty.
"A coach likes it when a player has five minutes of rage when
you take them off".
