Vieri: 'Teams jealous of Ronaldo’
By Football Italia staff
Christian Vieri believes those saying 33-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is past his best are “jealous” of the Juventus signing.
The Portuguese superstar made his debut for the Bianconeri on Saturday evening after his €100m move from Real Madrid, the most expensive transfer in Serie A history.
“CR7 arrived in Italy at 33,” Vieri began, speaking on DAZN.
“Everyone says that’s old but in reality they’re just jealous because Juve pulled out 100 notes and bought him. They took the number one and brought him to Italy.
“He scores a lot, he’s got over 600 goals and scores 50 a season: left foot, right foot, head. He scores every Sunday, he’s a goal machine.”

Rooney: 'Juventus for the CL’
By Football Italia staff
Wayne Rooney declares “I fancy Juventus to win the Champions League”, thanks to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two played together at Manchester United, and the Englishman, now at DC United in MLS, believes CR7 can lead the Bianconeri to European glory.
“He'll do what he's been doing for the last 10 years, he'll bring goals to Juventus,” Rooney told CNN.
“I fancy Juventus to win the Champions League this year solely for the fact Cristiano has gone there.
“As a person he's a nice guy, a family guy, works hard and he's always got his family around him which is great to see.
“He works hard and deserves all the credit he gets because he's put that effort in to be at the top.”
