Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo says he wants to use Cristiano Ronaldo on the left of a front-three upon his return as the Serie A giant crashed to another poor result with Leonardo Bonucci suffering an injury.
The Old Lady fell to a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona at Juventus Stadium on Sunday, needing a Dejan Kulusevski equaliser to salvage a point with 13 minutes to play, while Bonucci limped from the field in the 75th minute.
After winning their opening Serie A match against Sampdoria, Juve have now drawn matches versus Roma (2-2), Crotone (1-1) and Hellas Verona, with their only win coming when Napoli defaulted after failing to show up to match.
Pirlo was asked how he plans to fit Ronaldo into the team alongside Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata, with the Juve legend revealing he wants to use the 35-year-old in the position he dominated in for many years at Real Madrid.
“We are thinking to play them as a front-three,” Pirlo told reporters post-match. “With Ronaldo in his classic centre-left position”.
