Cristiano Ronaldo admits he had ‘really needed’ to score his first direct free kick in a Juventus jersey at the 43rd attempt, as they beat Torino 4-1.
CR7 had 43 attempts in all competition over the last two seasons, but they were either saved, off target or into the defensive wall.
“I really needed that free kick goal so I could get some confidence back,” confessed Ronaldo to Sky Sport Italia.
“We knew it would be a difficult game, but we worked hard, won and are now putting pressure on Lazio. We achieved the objective today.”
Paulo Dybala and Matthijs de Ligt were booked and will therefore be suspended against Milan.
“It doesn’t matter who scores goals, as long as the team wins. We’re all in good shape and will try to win against Milan too, which is another difficult match.”

If I took 43 attempts for one of greatest players if not the greatest players in the world to score a direct free kick then you should never give up on your dreams until you make them the reality even if you tried and failed a 100 times because great people never give up even after a failed attempt. Never give up on your dreams
