Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that there will be no point in making excuses for Juventus’ 3-0 home defeat to Fiorentina in Serie A on Tuesday night.
The champions went down in emphatic fashion at the Allianz Stadium as Juve suffered their first league defeat under head coach, Andrea Pirlo.
Ronaldo now wants the Serie A champions to “come back stronger and more united than ever” in 2021.
“Yesterday, with a poor performance and a result far from acceptable, we closed our scheduled games for 2020, a special year in many particular ways,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram.
Empty stadiums, COVID protocols, postponed games, long stoppages and a very tight calendar.
“But this is no excuse for anything. We know that we have to give more of ourselves, in order to play better and to win in a more consistent way.
“We are Juventus! And we simply cannot accept anything less than excellence on the pitch!
“I hope this short stoppage may help us to come back stronger and more united than ever, because the season is still far from over and in the end we believe that we will, once again, celebrate with our tiffosi.
“Believe in us, trust our team as much as we trust you, and we will deliver!”
