Ronaldo doesn´t receive special treatment at Juventus, says Pirlo

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo insisted Cristiano Ronaldo does not receive any special treatment at the Serie A giants.

Ronaldo has made a fine start to the season for Juve, scoring eight goals in his first six games.

His brace guided Juve past Cagliari 2-0 on Saturday, and Ronaldo has scored 29 of Juve’s 59 Serie A goals in 2020.

Ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Ferencvaros, Pirlo discussed Ronaldo – and said the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was treated like any other player.

“I haven’t challenged [Ronaldo] on set-pieces yet. I treat him like I treat all the other players. I’m always available on and off the pitch,” he told a news conference.

“It’s easy to have a good relationship between humble people. I’m like that.
