Ex-Juve player sends warning to Cristiano Ronaldo

Ex-Juve player sends warning to Cristiano Ronaldo

Speaking to German sports outlet Sport1, former Juventus and Germany defender Jürgen Kohler issued a warning to Cristiano Ronaldo, amid the claims and debates of the size of a player versus the size of a club.
 
In the interview, Kohler said that “I have a slightly different opinion”, before adding that “Ronaldo is a great player but nobody is bigger than the club.”
 
“There are people who have overall responsibility for the association.
 
“That goes for a Ronaldo, a [Zinedine] Zidane, a Neymar - everyone just has to accept that.”
 
A popular take, these comments came amongst suggestions that Juventus may have issues with Ronaldo as it was revealed that one of the reasons that perhaps the 33-year-old left Real Madrid was that Florentino Perez had refused his requests for a pay rise and therefore Ronaldo went to the door.
