#2 Details of Sarri's meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo revealed

Ronaldo had a personal meeting with new Juventus Manager Maurizio Sarri

Maurizio Sarri met Cristiano Ronaldo in the Côte d'Azur on Saturday. They were previously scheduled to meet in Greece, however, there was a slight change in plans and the Italian manager met up with his No. 1 star in Ronaldo's luxury yatch. The two had a talk about Sarri's future plans for Juventus and Ronaldo's role in his team.

We revealed earlier that Sarri wants to use Ronaldo centrally in a free role, alongside a free striker or a second striker like Paulo Dybala. Sarri's expected use of Ronaldo certainly puts Mario Mandzukic's role in the team in a jeopardy, however, the new Juventus manager did say in his inaugural press conference that he would assess his players before making any decisions.

I want to know what individuals think about themselves as players, starting from those who can have the most impact on performance and results. Whether tomorrow or in four days I can't say.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo insists that booing makes him stronger, saying that it inspiring him to be at his best.

I need to be at my best inside and outside the pitch and we feel well only when we fight against the best. I like strong rivals because they push me to do my best.

Their fans can boo me but I use their boos to improve and become unstoppable
