After the defeat to Hellas Verona, the Portuguese star has seen his side lose 11 points while maintaining his scoring run to ten games. And he's not happy.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport headed up one of their top stories on Monday with: "Cristiano Ronaldo is furious." The Portuguese star impressed individually in the Serie A game against Hellas Verona but that was not enough to prevent Juventus being defeated by two goals to one against a significantly weaker opponent.
The report from the news outlet goes on to explain that the number seven did not say goodbye to the fans after the loss, specifically stating that he did not want to go to the stands. He refused to take pictures with the supporters who approached him, and his disappointment was clear.
"It was not the result we wanted, but we must continue working hard to achieve our goals," the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star said after the game, trying to put a motivating spin on the situation.
But that professional response did not dilute the anger that he was feeling. Ronaldo has now scored in ten consecutive matches for Juve, notching a brace in three of them and a hat-trick in another. But the frustration is that even while he is scoring goals, the wins are not always coming. In those ten games the Vecchia Signora have lost three and drawn once, 11 points dropped opening the door for Inter to overtake them at the summit of Serie A.
Wojciech Szczesny, the team's Polish goalkeeper, reiterated the anger of the Portuguese forward.
"He is as pissed off as all of us because it is not good to lose these types of games. He does everything possible to make us win, scoring in every match, but instead we have not been good."

He has every right to be furious with losing. Cristiano does not like to lose, but the problem is not him . The problem is Maurizio Sarri and am sure every football fan will agree with me on that. And our next problem is our midfield there is no creativity there.

Sarri is not a good coach, when he was at Napoli always dropping points for juventus. Now he is at juventus, dropping points to inter.

That's what a true leader is, some of us may not care when we lose as long as CR7 has scored a goal or two but due to his personality he's not happy about him scoring but angry about the team losing..... Such mistakes costed us last season in UCL and am sure they might cost us again

we do have great creative players but Sarri's playing style doesn't fit any of those Craetive midfielders. playing the ball backwards too much as was the case with Chelsea last season. And we still conceding to much goals

To be honest Juventus, Madrid n Barca are no more a good team anymore. Barça remove Valverde, the replacement also no good, Madrid no Ronaldo a lots of weaknesses esp defenders.Juve no Allegri, no Ronaldo they win Serie A practically every year then began to slide
