Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his happiness at achieving his second successive title in Serie A with Juventus, giving the title to fans, especially those who suffered from the new Corona virus, while coach Maurizio Sari expressed his happiness with a first title in the league in his 30-year training career.
The "old lady" team settled its ninth title in "Serie A", on Sunday, by defeating Sampdoria 2-0 to move seven points ahead of its direct chase, Inter Milan, before two phases of the end of the season.
Juventus owes his victory to Ronaldo, who opened the scoring in the seventh minute of stoppage time in the first half, and contributed to the second when he fired a powerful ball that bounced off the goalkeeper and followed Federico Bernardeski into the goal (67), knowing that he missed a penalty kick in the 88th minute.
"I am very happy with the second consecutive title in the league and to continue making history with this great and wonderful club," the Portuguese said, via a post on his Instagram account, accompanying the team's photo in the changing room.
"I dedicate this title to all Juventus fans, especially those who have suffered and are suffering from the pandemic that surprised us all and turned the world upside down."
The season was not easy for the "Bianconeri" after he found himself ahead of an orphan point by Lazio before the competition stopped in mid-March due to "Covid-19" after Italy was one of the countries most affected by the epidemic that led to the death of more than 35 thousand people in the country.
Although the Sari team only achieved two wins in its last six games, against two draws and two defeats, it benefited greatly from the lapses in which its competitors, especially Lazio and Inter, continued to dominate the league.
Ronaldo, who now has seven domestic league titles (three with Manchester United and two with Real Madrid and Juventus), said, "It was not easy! Your support, your position and your determination constituted the force we needed to confront in the strong final stages of the league and the struggle until The end of this title belongs to all of Italy. "
He is still the best player in the world five times against an individual challenge, two stages before the end, as he competes with Lazio Ciro Imobili (34 goals) for the top scorer "Serie A" this season, knowing that the Portuguese is three goals behind.
Sari Saeed with the difficult title
For his part, coach Maurizio Sarri, who won the first league title in his 30-year training career for 61 years, confirmed that he is happy with this difficult title.
"He (the title) has a delicious taste. Winning is difficult and this club has been winning for many years," said the coach, who had already won his first training career in the European League "Europa League" with Chelsea last season.
"Every year it becomes more difficult. Nothing is gained in sports and it is not easy to stay at this level. It was a very difficult season, very long and strange. To succeed in crowning champions two stages before the end is a great merit for this group."
After many expected aesthetic football, after Sari became famous for the fast and eye-catching style in which he made his name in Naples between 2015 and 2018, and that Juventus officials were eager to see them, only flashes of this season were seen from him.
Juventus has rarely shined this season, and has often seemed disappointing.
The real verdict will be on the performance of Sarri in the Champions League which will be completed next month, where he will have to make up for the loss 0-1 against Lyon in the first leg of the final price in the club's first title bid since 1996.
He commented, "I am not thinking about the Champions League yet. To enjoy this night, and the players too (...) It is a difficult tournament to predict what will happen during it because each team has its own story, but I think everything is possible this year. "
"What is happening is beautiful and difficult, we will see how we will approach things, we have played 14 games within 44 days."
And he added, "We hope that we will not lose Paulo Dybala as well, we will see" after the Argentine came out injured in the first half of the match against Sampdoria.
