Argentinean footballer Paulo Dybala has revealed one negative aspect about five-time Ballon d’Or Cristiano Ronaldo joining Italian champions Juventus.
Ronaldo has joined Juventus from La Liga giants Real Madrid for £105million this summer. Cristiano’s arrival in Juventus means less playing time for Dybala as CR7 is now the focal point of the Old Lady’s attack.

Though Dybala welcomed the arrival of the Real Madrid’s all-time highest goal scorer, he admitted the rest of the team have to adapt to Ronaldo’s presence.
“The thing that most surprised me about Cristiano is the intensity with which he trains, but also his hunger for victory,” Dybala told Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra, adding, “Clearly, with him in the side the others don’t get as many shots as they used to, but the important thing is for the team to win.”
Juventus, currently the table topper in Serie A, will take on the second-placed Napoli on Sunday afternoon with the two sides renewing their rivalry from last season.

Paulo Dybala also accepted that he might have to warm the bench.
“The coach hasn’t yet told us who will play and it’s not an easy task for him, because we can all take on so many different roles. He’ll decide what to do after training,” Dybala added.

“At times he asks me to go deeper in order to link up with the midfield, but it depends on the game. It’s very difficult to receive the ball between the lines when opposition teams are clammed up.”
