When Ronaldo arrived at the club, former Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri apparently said that Miralem Pjanic and Paulo Dybala would be above him in the pecking order when it came to free-kicks close to the box.
Per Calciomercato.com's Lorenzo Bettoni, he said: "Ronaldo is a smart guy. He knows Pjanic and Dybala are excellent free-kick takers, and they are going to take those close to the area. When there are free-kicks from far away, Ronaldo can kick them, but we've decided that Dybala and Pjanic will take the set pieces close to the area."
Think it's time for Ronaldo to hand free-kick duties over to those two guys...
