Giorgio Chiellini has drastically softened his stance on Cristiano Ronaldo after previously claiming the Manchester United superstar demands "a team that would play for him".
The Italy captain, 37, spent three seasons as Ronaldo's teammate at Juventus between 2018 and 2021, winning two Serie A titles and the Coppa Italia together.
The Portuguese striker scored 101 goals for the Bianconeri after his arrival from Real Madrid in a £99million transfer, so his spell in Turin is viewed in a positive light.
