Juventus coach Allegri: We can all learn from Ronaldo

Juventus coach Max Allegri admits he's enjoyed working with Cristiano Ronaldo this season.

Allegri discussed the Portuguese at the lanch of his new book, 'E Molto Semplice'.

He said, “In terms of mentality, he is stronger than anyone else. Every day he finds personal objectives to hit and he can find them within himself.

“A player who has won everything he has at the age of 34 will find it difficult to feel hungry, but he is deadly in that sense. He has this determination that is incredible.

“We should all learn from Ronaldo, and I too have learned, because it's not everyone who gets to work with the best player in the world.

“For example, on Saturday morning we have a game between ranks in training. He has fun, but his fun is winning the game. I explained it to him, and I've written the same about Ibra in the book, his idea of fun is winning, but I told him not everyone is like that and for some there's fun in a back-heel flick, a cheeky move, etc. And then later you bring that into the match situation."
