Cristiano Ronaldo helped Juventus return to he football ground after his quarantine with double goals to a 4-1 win over Spezia on Sunday. Alvaro Morata gave the visitors the lead with a low angled strike before Tommasso Pobega equalised for Spezia.
Ronaldo who was substituted by head coach Andrea Pirlo, in the 56th-minute, scored in the 59th-minute and 76th-minute with a penalty after Adrien Rabiot’s cool finish had given Juventus a two-goal advantage.
For Juventus, it was only the second win on the pitch in the sixth round of this season. A 3-0 win against Napoli came about through criminal verification.
“We changed our system a bit, we knew Arthur would have been more free to play a little behind. Ronaldo is improving and we were waiting for him. Both him and Dybala are improving, let’s see how everyone feels in the coming days.” Pirlo said.
“We always play with four defenders in the defensive phase. I had these players available, when everyone will be back we’ll see how we can play but the setting will be the same.
“We are improving, some players are coming back from injuries and we’ll have time to work on our ideas. Slowly, we’ll see in games those situations that we are preparing during trainings. We need to pick up the players between the lines, once we do it, we only need to think about attacking their area.” Pirlo added.
Ronaldo has tested for Covid-19 on October 13 and has not played a game since October 11. The former Real Madrid striker missed one international match and four games for Juve, he also missed the Champions League against Barcelona.
With 12 points from six games, Juventus climbed to third place in the Serie A table behind Sassulo.
