Marchisio: ‘Ronaldo has changed, Icardi among the best in the world’

Juventus are set to face off against Inter Milan on Friday evening, with Sky Sport in Italy set to air a special show dedicated to former Juve midfielder Claudio Marchisio after the game. In a preview of the exclusive interview, Marchisio commented on the upcoming match, as well as speaking on the qualities of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi.
 
“Juve-Inter? It will be a very important big match, but it will just be one match because there are still plenty of them. The fact that two teams so strong will face each other and that they want to achieve great goals will be an important challenge; especially for the spirit of both teams.
 
“Icardi and Ronaldo? They are proving to always be the great expectations of these matches. They are two completely different players. Icardi and Ronaldo are proving to always be the big ones expected. Icardi for 90 minutes can also be absent from the game, however, as he did with Barcelona, ​​he only needed a ball inside the area to score goals. And in this it is one of the strongest in the world. Ronaldo has changed his way of playing in Italy. Many times it is lowered to take the ball, it is always part of the manoeuvre and is always present in any goal or assists. It is crucial for Juventus. They are two great champions but I also trust Giorgio (Chiellini) who in these great games, from the defence comes from behind and makes a header.
 
“Napoli and Inter? Napoli in recent years has proven to be a big, is proving to be able to hold until the end of the championship in the highest positions. Inter is proving it, especially this year, even if it is still lacking so much, you have to see with the Champions League matches, later on how it will go. Napoli surprised me, after the work done by Sarri in these years there was an important change. Ancelotti has managed to continue and always do very well and Napoli will try until the last to be a great protagonist of the championship.”
