Pirlo – Cristiano is first to training and last to leave

Andrea Pirlo has been impressed with Ronaldo’s professionalism and his incredible work ethic.

Andrea Pirlo praised Cristiano Ronaldo’s start to the season and hopes the Juventus forward’s form can continue.

Ronaldo has scored three goals and provided an assist in two Serie A games to begin the 2020-21 campaign, helping Juve collect four points.

Ahead of Sunday’s scheduled clash against Napoli, Juve head coach Pirlo singled out the star – and hopes more goals are to come.

“Ronaldo works very hard. He is the first to come to training and the last to go home,” he told a news conference.

“He brings enthusiasm, you can notice it on the pitch as well. He started the season really well, I hope he will keep doing like this until the end of the season.

“I wish he’ll score one or two goals every game. He is really important for us. In Rome we were a man down and he helped a lot until the end of the game. He is an example for everyone.”
