Ronaldo, Bonucci Apologise For ‘Worst’ Juventus Of Season

By Daily Sports on December 24, 2020

Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonardo Bonucci on Wednesday apologised to Juventus fans for the “worst” performance of the season as the Italian champions’ fell to their first Serie A defeat this term against lowly Fiorentina.

The ‘Bianconeri’ played most of the match a man down after Juan Cuadrado was sent off after quarter of an hour in their Allianz Stadium, losing 3-0 to the Tuscany side who are 15th after ending an eight-match winless run.

“The worst Juventus of this first part of the season. I apologise to the fans in my name, first of all. There is nothing to add,” defender Bonucci wrote on Instagram.

Ronaldo blasted “a far from the acceptable result” as the Portuguese star failed to add to his Serie A-leading tally of 12 league goals so far.

“Yesterday, with a poor performance and a far from the acceptable result we closed our scheduled games for 2020, a special year in many ways,” said the five-time Ballon d’Or winner 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 fans.

“Believe in us, trust our team as much as we trust you, and we will deliver! Fino Alla Fine!”

The defeat came hours after the nine-time reigning Serie A champions learned they must play the match against Napoli which was cancelled on October 4 after the southerners decided not to travel to Turin because of coronavirus cases. (AFP)
