Don't demonize Ronaldo.

I did not demonize him.

His troubles at United were mostly due to promises from the club and Ten Hag himself that he was counted on and needed by the team. And immediately from the start he was put on the bench. What is this if not a deception and why should Ronaldo not be outraged?

The drama is bad from three sides.

First Manchester United did not want to release Ronaldo or open with transfer offers. Maybe they did care about income from jersey, ticket sales with Ronaldo's effects.

Second, their coach, Ten Hag did not know what he want from Ronaldo and how he can use Ronaldo but he rejected to let Ronaldo moving to another club. They both promised a lot with Ronaldo in the summer.

Third, Ronaldo was disappointed and reacted badly but he should not blame it all on Manchester United and Ten Hag. He is no longer a young player and his reactions are bad at his age. At least he was given some chances but generally his performance was bad. If he want to get more appearances, he must play better with any chance he gets from Ten Hag

No, do not confuse the sequence of events. First, Ten Hag (and the club) declares that he needs Ronaldo and that he is counting on him. Then there are questions about the current game form and the start of games from the bench. These questions have arisen only because Ten Hag uses a high-pressure system and Ronaldo does not fit into it.
What do you think, when Ten Hag made statements that he needed Ronaldo, he did not know his age? Or did he not know what kind of game scheme he wanted to use at United? You are not that naive.
There is nothing wrong with the player and the formation not matching - for example, Ibrahimovic was fired from Barcelona because of this and there was no talk of Ibrahimovic's bad form back then - he was cool but he didn't fit Guardiola's formation.
In this case, the ratly rat Ten Hag was clearly lying when he made his statements, and I see no reason why Ronaldo should not be outraged.

If he goes back to Italy it would be very nice, in any team he goes (except Inter).

what's wrong with inter? 
I also don't think Ronaldo will return to Juventus or go to Napoli, because without Ronaldo, Napoli have played quite well this season so I don't think Napoli want him, maybe he can go to AC Milan or AS Roma.

Inter fans have always accused Juventus fans (including myself) of being thieves and buying matches.
This is a bad thing, it was always and only they who made continuous accusations. Now they lose all the same, nobody buys the games, even though they spend a lot of money.
They are a bottomless hole.

Napoli - Sassuolo is going to be the first game of this week. Napoli are shown as the absolute favourite by bookmakers of course. Their odd is not worth betting on also as it is 1.30.

Napoli are still on an unstoppable run and they haven't lost a single game so far in 11 league games. They even added important wins to their series against teams like Milan and Roma recently. This is technically a more comfortable game for them after facing Roma last week. They even had a big dominance against Roma so this should be another similar game for them. Sassuolo might sometimes be a threat to big teams in the league. But I don't see that strength in them this season for now. Maybe both teams to score might be a nice option considering their last 3 head-to-head games.

This week Juventus will play against Lecce. Maybe they have not been to their best performance because they are still in a sad state after being eliminated from the champions league. Juventus is still in 8th place, of course that's not a good thing. La Vecchia Signora must win if they want to move up to the top 5 in the Serie A standings.

I think I wrote it clear enough.

Ten Hag probably did not know what he can do with Ronaldo and how to use Ronaldo. He was unsure what he can achieve in Manchester United with available players and thought he can rely on Ronaldo in some matches or some early months of this season. I believe it is what Ten Hag thought even he knew that Ronaldo does not match with his tactics and formation like you said.

I disagree with Ten Hag and disrespect the coach about that too.

There is nothing wrong with the player and the formation not matching - for example, Ibrahimovic was fired from Barcelona because of this and there was no talk of Ibrahimovic's bad form back then - he was cool but he didn't fit Guardiola's formation.
In this case, the ratly rat Ten Hag was clearly lying when he made his statements, and I see no reason why Ronaldo should not be outraged.

Both Ten Hag and Manchester United should be responsible for this drama too. They wanted to get lot of things from Ronaldo: income, goals and rejected to let him go. Now when they saw that Ronaldo is no longer useful for their club, they are ready to punish him.

Even Ronaldo is responsible for how his negatively reacted recent weeks, Manchester United and Ten Hag actually treated Ronaldo very bad and unfairly.

@ILuckyGuyI you’re absolutely correct about Napoli’s chances of winning this fixture, and further I believe that they’ll be extra motivated to win as they have a genuine chance of winning the league title this year.

This week Juventus will play against Lecce. Maybe they have not been to their best performance because they are still in a sad state after being eliminated from the champions league. Juventus is still in 8th place, of course that's not a good thing. La Vecchia Signora must win if they want to move up to the top 5 in the Serie A standings.

@rendravolt I’m not sure if Juventus will win, because they’ll be distracted by the fact that they have crashed out of the champions league and to be honest they have not been playing good at all hence wagering against them makes more sense.

Lecce is not a strong opponent, but Juventus are also in a bad shape at the moment as evidenced by them being thrown to the 8th position in the standings with 19 points from 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. Although Lecce is not a strong team, but if Juventus is in a difficult situation then it is not impossible that Lecce will be able to embarrass Juventus in this match. Allegri has not been able to bring about good changes in the Old Lady's body, thus bringing them into a slump.

Juventus have a great opportunity to improve their position in the standings, Lecce is in the worst form, Juventus must take this opportunity to win. Being eliminated from the Champions League should be a motivation for Juventus players to give their best performance, their current position is not good in the standings. Victory must always be achieved to return to the top four positions.

Allegri, who is still trusted as a coach even though he has destroyed Juventus, has to make major changes to Juventus appearance. He must be able to get a win from Lecce to treat the feeling of disappointment that has just been felt as a result of being knocked out of the Champions League.

[Distraction]

Victor Oshime has been link with Chelsea already and if the deal goes well he will make the move to premier league and he will do well because he is a physical type of player has enough pace a good header and also a player that score's tap in goals. The likes of Aubameyang and Broja can serve as alternative to him if he come in. So Ronaldo will have a good chance to participate in the League and also Champions League. United have allowed him to go if a deal if opened for him to be bought out.

I didn't know about Chelsea's interest in Osimhen. It's interesting but I'm not sure whether Napoli would like to sell him anytime soon. They are having a wonderful season and Osimhen's contribution in this is quite big. Even Osimhen might not be willing to leave now because technically Napoli are on a much better run than Chelsea in general. They are dominating the Serie A and their Champions League group at the same time. If Chelsea are interested in a January move then they had better forget about it.

I don't think Napoli would see it logical to replace Osimhen with Ronaldo in that case also. Ronaldo hasn't played properly at Manchester United for a long time. It isn't logical to pay a lot of money for his salary and take a bigger risk by signing a much older player at the same time. I know that Ronaldo is one of the legends already but he isn't reliable from now on.

Juventus will use Lecce as an outlet. Not without reason, because Juventus had just been knocked out of the Champions League. The Bianconeri will aim for a win to improve their position in the Serie A standings as well as to restore the confidence of the fans.

On paper, Juventus is clearly very favored in this match. Allenatore Bianconeri, Maximiliano Allegri certainly wants his troops to play all out in order to achieve maximum results.

In addition, Lecce's condition is also very poor, they have undergone eleven matches in Serie A with poor results. The reason, Lecce is still difficult to win. Of the eleven matches that have been played, Lecce only managed to win once, draw five and lose five times.

It wouldn't be a very smart move for Napoli to sign Ronaldo I think.

Because there is no need for spending a lot of money for Ronaldo's salary for Napoli. They must already be contented with their current strikers and especially Osimhen of course. I don't think that there is any meaning in spending that much money for a player who will be likely to be in the subs mostly. It wouldn't be easy for Ronaldo to have much chance in the starting eleven of important games. But maybe it is already enough for Ronaldo to be a part of the team just because they are in the Champions League.

Of course Napoli are doing a big gamble if they do the signing of Ronaldo in the January transfers because with the existing squad they have been able to look quite impressive so far. In addition, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is getting sharper with Osimhen up front, which has proven that they are able to make the opponent's defense difficult when facing them. Besides that, I don't think there will be too much hype for a team if they are able to sign him because of the age factor Ronaldo probably won't be playing for long because age will affect his performance. Therefore, I think the rumors of Napoli interest in Ronaldo are only exaggerated by the media.

The match between Lecce vs Juventus in the Italian League is certain to be Juventus' revenge, not without reason. The reason, Juventus has just been knocked out of the Champions League.

In the Italian League alone, Juventus have just won twice. Facing Lecce, of course Juventus are looking for victory again, Juventus is currently ranked 8th in the Italian League, Juventus won 19 points from 11 matches that have been played. While Lecce is currently ranked 17th. Lecce has only collected 8 points from 11 matches that have been undertaken. With this fact, of course Juventus will be aiming for a win to improve its position.

if seen from the current situation juventus will play with a good performance and also it looks like lecce is not a balanced opponent against juventus and i think juventus can get 3 points from the match later

Juventus have a great opportunity to improve their position in the standings, Lecce is in the worst form, Juventus must take this opportunity to win. Being eliminated from the Champions League should be a motivation for Juventus players to give their best performance, their current position is not good in the standings. Victory must always be achieved to return to the top four positions.

It's true what you said, Juventus must really play seriously and be consistent in every next match, not only against Lecce, at least the next match must also get 3 points, because what we know is that Federico Chiesa, Paul Pogba, have returned to training with the squad. Juventus, at least it can help motivate teammates..

Allegri, who is still trusted as a coach even though he has destroyed Juventus, has to make major changes to Juventus appearance. He must be able to get a win from Lecce to treat the feeling of disappointment that has just been felt as a result of being knocked out of the Champions League.

Talking about the coach sometimes the tactics used by Massimiliano Allegri always change, which is inconsistent, which one will be given, that's what makes the players sometimes confused to play when on the field, even though the current squad is as desired Massimiliano Allegri but in fact Massimiliano Allegri himself is still confused about which formation to use, maybe that's Juventus' biggest obstacle at the moment...

They're still not good at the moment in my opinion but it's still better than before.
Facing Lecce is a must win because otherwise they will continue to receive criticism especially now that they are out of the Champions League so improving themselves in Serie A is definitely the best option.

[masulum]

in terms of player quality, Lecce should not be an ideal opponent for Juventus. Moreover, Lecce's performance is also in a bad condition, the last 5 matches without getting a win and can only collect 2 points. It's very poor if Juventus are still losing to Lecce. If Juventus lose or draw, Allegri will be in very hot position to be sacked.

I wouldn't say that Lecce is weaker than Maccabi Haifa and Juventus lost against them in the champions league with 0-2, which is a shocking result for a team that used to be world class. I would say that in this phase Juventus is in everything is possible, also a loss against Lecce. Juventus has a goal scoring problem this season and Lecce, even though they are at the bottom of the table, conceded relatively less goals compared to the other teams down the table. Could be a hard game for Juventus.

[yayayo]

Juventus seemed to have regained some confidence in the competition, but things go from bad to worse in the Champions League. PSG are a size too big for Juventus, but they should have finished above Benfica. Or at least not have to lose both confrontations against this team.

ya.ya.yo!

If Juventus lose or draw, Allegri will be in very hot position to be sacked.

Juventus are in a big dilemma after their failure to make it to the last 16 of the champions league this season, Allegri series of negative results seems to have led to current fans distrusting his coaching again, in bad trend like this  off course lecce should  be can take advantage of the momentum to be able to get points at home, because I think the poor performance of Juventus at this time allows for an unexpected final result in the match later.

Yes, it can be seen from the statistics of Lecce's last 5 matches, they lost 2x, drew 2x, and won 1x of course that's a pretty bad result. For Juventus I don't understand why they still want to keep Allegri, even though the bad results they get are the responsibility of a coach.

In the Italian League alone, Juventus have just won twice. Facing Lecce, of course Juventus are looking for victory again, Juventus is currently ranked 8th in the Italian League, Juventus won 19 points from 11 matches that have been played. While Lecce is currently ranked 17th. Lecce has only collected 8 points from 11 matches that have been undertaken. With this fact, of course Juventus will be aiming for a win to improve its position.

Both teams will fight for a better position. From Lecce maybe they don't want to be in a relegation position, while Juventus don't want their big name to get worse in the media and by the fans if they lose continuously.

if seen from the current situation juventus will play with a good performance and also it looks like lecce is not a balanced opponent against juventus and i think juventus can get 3 points from the match later

Juventus should have won easily, but we also don't know what kind of surprise there will be. Sometimes the bottom team can beat the top team, that's what happens in football.
