In an interview with the Team, Juventus Turin center-back Giorgio Chiellini (37) was asked about the Old Lady's club's new European campaign without Cristiano Ronaldo, who left for Manchester United this summer. The 2020 Italian champion with Italy knows that it will be difficult to fill the departure of the Portuguese superstar, especially for the Bianconeri calendar, in the league and in the Champions League.
“We have to find other balances, but in football we don't have a lot of time. You play every three days, then you go to selection, so during the ten-day breaks, the players are not there. You have little time to work, but you must come to an amalgamation. When you lose a champion like Cristiano ... It has happened to us before, I think of Pirlo, Buffon, we cannot replace them, but the team finds a way to fill this absence with other players who have different characteristics, ”he told the sports daily.
