• 1-0 in Turin. Narration and statistics

Maurizio Sarri withdrew Cristiano Ronaldo in the 54th minute to give entry to Paulo Dybala, author of the victory goal against Milan in Turin (1-0). The Portuguese star, visibly upset, did not even sit on the bench and left Juventus Stadium before the end of the game, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport .

"A problem with Ronaldo? No, on the contrary," Sarri explained after Fabio Maresca's final whistle. "First, I thank you for making it available when you are not in an exceptional physical condition. I preferred to change it because I didn't think it was very good. But you tried everything," added the Vecchia Signora coach.

Dybala's intervention in the 77th minute, after a play with Douglas Costa and Gonzalo Higuaín gave Juventus the three points, which maintains an advantage over Inter after 12 days in Serie A.

The anger of Ronaldo, who dragged discomfort in one knee and one thigh, is the culmination of a discreet last month of competition, where he has only been able to score a goal - penalty against Genoa - in five games. In fact, last Wednesday he also twisted the gesture after his replacement in Moscow against Lokomotiv.

"Otherwise I would worry"

"It is normal to be angry when leaving. This is valid for all players, especially for those who make sacrifices," Sarri insisted. Asked if he was going to admonish the forward for his attitude, the former Chelsea coach replied: "No. There is a tolerance threshold with those who give everything."

"Five minutes of anger seems normal to me. A coach likes to see a furious player on his way out. Otherwise I would worry," reiterated the Juventus coach, who is pursuing a ninth consecutive title in Serie A.

The difficulties became evident against the Stefano Pioli Milan, which has barely added four points in the last five days. The Rossoneri , however, enjoyed the best chances before the break, with a shot by Krzysztof Piatek without opposition that was lost outside and a header by elevation of Lucas Paqueta that had to be neutralized by Wojciech Szczesny.
