It's not Italian media this time, but the New York Times. A truly garbage click bait hit piece. The Times' standard of journalism is in the gutter these days.

Things to note:
1. The ICC has multiple tour locations, and Juve have been on the US tour for the last 2 seasons, making a change in location quite logical.
2. According to the article itself, the decision was made by the ICC, not by Ronaldo or Juventus
3. Juve do not always tour the US for the preseason. They toured Australia in 2016, the rest of Europe in 2015, East Asia and Australia in 2014.
4. Ronaldo has missed plenty of pre season tours in the past, including to the US.
5. It makes sense for Ronaldo not to tour the US until the case is concluded, not just for legal reasons, but also to avoid negative publicity. It does not mean he is either guilty or innocent.
Momblano had to tell this to these fucks over there or they would have gone with the Juve/CR7 don't want to go there news...

If he gets a ban thankfully it's only Ajax and not a relatively strong team. I'm hoping he doesn't get a ban but even if he does we should be able to manage without him for 1 game against Ajax
Hell no. Juve should appeal and take UEFA to court, not lie face down and take it up the ass like they did during the Farsopoli trial.

Not a bad reason though. Arrest is not an issue but negative publicity is and that kind of defeats the point of a pre season tour no? and ruining powerful men through hysterical media over alleged sexual misconduct from years ago is our new pastime.

There is nothing wrong with that article, how is it a "garbage hit piece"?

Thankfully that statement can just get the team, board and everyone more motivated.
I really hope we win this by scoring at least 4 goals total, that would really help getting the players more and more in form.

Btw. here's their schedule. They still need all the points in Eredivisie - PSV being 5 points ahead.

The Dutch are high, they have forgotten their BIG scandals (and reliable ones) in the 1970s related to doping. They have luck that it was the 70's, today they would be excluded from FIFA. Fuckers.
Ronaldo will smash their newspapers, journalists and those old dicks from Ajax.
