The former Juventus striker made a very big prediction on Ronaldo’s future in Turin under Pirlo’s management.
Andrea Pirlo ‘can win everything this season’, says Christian Vieri, as the Juventus manager has Cristiano Ronaldo and many talented players on his team.
Zinedine Zidane’s famous saying ‘when you play with Ronaldo on your team, you are already 1-0 up’ is something Vieri totally agrees with, and the Italian expects CR7 to enjoy a lot more success in his career with Pirlo.

The rookie coach hasn’t had an easy start, but things have gradually improved as the season has progressed. He has won 19 of his 28 games (D6 L3) in Turin and overseen some promising progress. In fact, Juventus have won to nil in their last four games
“Listen, Juventus can win anything every year. They have a fantastic side,” Vieri told Stats Perform News.
“When you have Cristiano Ronaldo with you, you always start 1-0.
“Pirlo is a fun guy. He is the opposite of what everyone sees. He is a fun dude, he takes the p*ss out of you the whole day.
“Of course, everyone is different on TV, right? He is calmer. You never see him go crazy. He is the opposite of [Antonio] Conte. You see Conte, it’s like he is playing.

“It’s his first experience. He is having a good time. He won a trophy already. You win games and lose games, it’s part of coaching. Maybe lose more games than win, some coaches do that. But he is happy coaching, that’s what he wanted to do.
“He has an amazing team. He can win everything this season. Let’s see what happens. Nine years in a row winning the Scudetto, of course, sooner or later you will lose it because motivation-wise, you can’t have that motivation every year.”
Vieri played for Juventus in the 1996/97 campaign and helped the club win the Serie A, UEFA Super Cup, and Intercontinental Cup.
