They’re definitely still adapting to him but I doubt that team chemistry is low because of his presence. He does demand the team to play a certain way but I think the team will be fully adapted to that soon enough.

Well, we have win all the matches we have played except one which we didn’t lose
True but apart from Napoli, it’s been a relatively easy schedule.

You think there's unrest between Ronaldo and others because they pass the ball to him more.

Makes sense.
You can see what i meant in tonights game against Man Utd......4 chances ine after another where instead of a better solution Dybala/Cancelo tried to pass to Ronaldo instead of better positioned other Juve players

LOVE HIM

Man U made it their priority to mark him out of the game, and this created spaces for our other players.

We can WIN the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo. Not necessarily by him scoring the decisive goals, but just by having him. He's such a force that opponents' coaches have to put several players on him each game. This is a big advantage for us - not for Ronaldo as an individual - but for us as a team.

So the utd fans booed him on a few occassion during the game, and then applauded him when he waved at them. Lol they got such a small club mentality.

:agree:

It happened at Madrid too. Teams made a choice, they focused their energy on stopping Ronaldo and the team would beat them, or they tried to treat Ronaldo as just part of the team with no special attention and he would slaughter them.

I'd assume the same shall happen here, some teams will dedicate a significant portion of their defensive strategy to marking him out of the game, others will focus more on the entire team. We should have a strong enough attack to take advantage of all the space and win those matches where he is marked out.
