Ronaldo is still difficult to penetrate the Serie A goal.

The debut of the world's best player Cristiano Ronaldo in the Italian Serie A did not go smoothly. The player who has always scored above 40 goals for Real Madrid in a season since the last five years has not opened a goal in Serie A since joining Juventus. CR7, nicknamed Ronaldo, has passed three giornata in Serie A. Against Chievo Verona, SS Lazio, and most recently against AC Parma. Juventus wiped out the three games with victory.

But six goals that have been printed La Vecchia Signora was born from the feet of Sami Khedira, Bernardeschi, Miralem Pjanic, Mario Mandzukic, and Blaise Matuidi. At least even though there were no goals, Ronaldo had an assist for Mandzukic's goal when he beat Lazio. Stagnation in the first three consecutive games at the start of the competition certainly began to raise questions about Ronaldo's performance.

Expectations for the 33-year-old player were very high not even from Juventus' loyal supporters. The public hopes that the Portuguese player's rays will continue in Serie A which does need a figure who can increase the prestige of the competition which has been less than the English Premier League and Spanish La Liga for almost the last decade.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri always gives a full-time allotment for Ronaldo. The five Ballon d'Or winners are always struggling to get their first goal for Juventus who have spent 115 million euros to buy it from Real Madrid. Ronaldo's statistics in Serie A against Chievo, Lazio and Parma show he has made 23 attempts at goal. That number is arguably quite a lot done by a player in Europe's top five leagues. But criticism should also not be worthy of being pinned on the Portugal national team's top scorer of all time.

The effort of 23 kicks into the goal and has not yielded a goal is still less than the data when Ronaldo debuted for Real Madrid in the 2009/2010 season. At that time, Ronaldo had to create 28 goals on goal until he could make his first name on the scoreboard for Real Madrid. And Ronaldo's debut season with Madrid was successful with 26 goals from 27 matches.

After feeling comfortable in La Liga, Ronaldo even more craze in front of the opponent's goal. In total, Ronaldo has scored 450 goals for Madrid with just 438 appearances. "Goals from Ronaldo will come soon. He is a great player who no longer needs to doubt," Matuidi said after the match against Parma quoted from Football Italia on Sunday (2/9).

Matuidi said that his colleagues at Juventus would continue to help Ronaldo to get the best out of his abilities like Ronaldo at Manchester United or Real Madrid. At the beginning of the season, said Matuidi, Ronaldo only needed time to find his best rhythm with the Italian League which is known to have clubs with tough defense. Allegri also did not conclude that Ronaldo's performance had declined.

The 51-year-old coach saw Ronaldo's game still as ferocious as he appeared for Madrid, especially when Ronaldo became a figure who stopped Juventus from advancing in the Champions League two years earlier. Allegri saw Ronaldo indeed need to solve the difficulties of penetrating the opponent's goal in Serie A whose level of difficulty was different from the English League and Spanish League which he had conquered.

Allegri also did not regret playing Ronaldo in full in these three early giornata because according to him Ronaldo's presence greatly helped his other colleagues to open space in the opponent's defense. "I am happy with Ronaldo's performance so far. He does everything well. We must understand that new players are normal when facing different difficulties in the Italian League," he explained.
