Juve wish Cristiano all the best, but 'life goes on' - Allegri on CR7

“Cristiano did not want to play for Juventus any more, he is gone and in any case it would have been his last year.” Allegri said.

Speaking to the media ahead of Juve's game against Napoli, coach Allegro complained about a lack of available players stating: "choosing the team won’t be difficult because I have so few players. I have decided to leave the South Americans at home, they will get back between tonight and tomorrow morning,” Allegri told a news conference.

A 2-2 opening day draw against Udinese was followed by a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Empoli, and star striker Cristiano Ronaldo then left at the end of the transfer window.

“Cristiano did not want to play for Juventus any more, he is gone and in any case it would have been his last year.” Allegri said.

“I wish him all the best, but life goes on. I am not interested in talking about what happened. Juve have always won as a group, it is in our DNA.”
