Giorgio Chiellini has heaped praise on Cristiano Ronaldo – despite being less than complimentary about the Manchester United star in the past.
Ronaldo played for three years alongside Chiellini during his time at Juventus, before making his return to United last summer. During his spell in Turin, the Portuguese superstar continued his remarkable goal-scoring feats as he helped Juve to two Serie A titles.
Having left the club last year though, with the Old Lady having failed to win the title, Ronaldo has found himself coming in for some criticism from his former team-mates. Chiellini and defensive partner Leonardo Bonucci have both hit out at the five-time Ballon d’Or winner for the manner in which he left the club, and for his impact in Italy.
