Please. Ronaldo has taken the free kicks everywhere he's played, regardless of who he plays with. It's part and parcel of having Ronaldo and the ego he has.

On Allegri. You make me laugh. I guess it was on Zidane and Ancelotti too. lol

The only person that's on is Ronaldo.
Yup, I dunno much about free kick dynamics at Real as I was never too fond of that team to watch them much, but if Ronaldo was taking freekicks ahead of much more efficient specialists under Zidane and Papa Carlo, that shows lack of authority from coach, no player should be bigger than the team

People in Turin who are very attentive of financial markets are saying Guardiola is very close, sure of his arrival

The last big guru has finally said something

The English press and bookies still think it’s sarri but the betting odds are slowly changing so I think to be fair they are clueless and just guessing

It’s part and parcel of having one of the greatest players of all time and also a guy who holds the CL record for free kick goals and used to be brilliant at them.

No coach puts a stop to that and gets into a fight with him because of it. It’s unfortunate but it isn’t going to change.

Yeah sarri is still clear favourite but he was 1/6 now he’s 1/4 and Guardiola was 8/1 now he’s 5/1 so not massive changes but enough to say they haven’t a clue lol

Our free-kick dynamics were pretty clear anyways. Ronaldo took the ones that were a bit further from the goal, Pjanic took the shorter ones from the left and Dybala the shorter ones from the right. This kind of sharing of set-pieces is nothing new. At one point Real had Becks, Zidane, Figo and Carlos sharing them. Some just like to find drama everywhere, especially if it involves having a dig at Allegri.

People pay far too much attention to betting odds. They move based on people placing bets and can easily be swayed by rumours.

For example a couple of seasons ago bookies here slashed odds and stopped taking bets on Van Persie to Rangers. It was never going to happen but a load of people went with rumours and bet on it pushing down the odds. Similar happened again last month with odds on Benitez to Celtic.
