Juventus coach, Andrea Pirlo is certain to maximize the role of Cristiano Ronaldo when his team meets Barcelona in the last Group G matchday of the 2020-2021 Champions League on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, WIB. However, apart from Ronaldo it turns out that Pirlo still has one more reliable player.
The player Pirlo can rely on to destroy Barcelona is Aaron Ramsey. According to the Italian coach, Ramsey has a very important role in the movement of the Juventus ball every time the player plays.
Pirlo actually doesn’t think Ramsey is a great or smart player. However, he saw that the former Arsenal man knew when to move and when to pass.
With the right thoughts, Ramsey can sometimes provide feedback to other players who have the chance to score goals. So, that’s why Pirlo believes Ramsey can provide assistance for Juventus in beating Barcelona.
Fortunately, Ramsey is now recovering from the injury he got some time ago. So, Pirlo can take advantage of Ramsey’s services in the match against Barcelona later.
“Yes of course he (Ramsey) can be very useful. He’s starting to feel better (post injury) and can spend quite a bit of time playing. He already has the strength (to play), “said Pirlo, quoted from the Italian Football, Tuesday (8/12/2020).
“I’ve said before that he’s not the smartest player on the pitch. However, he knows what to do (when playing). He can be very useful to provide space to our team, “he added.
The match against Barcelona has indeed become a quite important match for Juventus. Because if only they could win and the score was three points ahead of Barcelona, then Juventus would win Group G.
Of course, winning Group G will make Juventus face runner-up teams from other groups in the last 16 of the 2020-2021 Champions League. Although in fact all those who qualify are all great teams, directly facing a team that managed to win in another group will clearly be burdensome for Juventus.
That’s why Juventus seem to be eyeing victory over Barcelona. Even if they lose, Juventus will definitely qualify for the last 16.
