Ronaldo will break the ice against Sassuolo, insists Allegri

Cristiano Ronaldo is sure to break his scoring duck Sunday against Sassuolo, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri insisted as he backed the Portuguese star to win the FIFA world player of the year award.

Ronaldo skipped Por tugal’s Nations League win over Italy to focus on his new club after failing to score in their opening three Serie A games. “Cristiano worked well and I think tomorrow he will score and break the ice,” Allegri told a press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against second-placed Sassuolo.
