Pioli said in his interview with “La Gazzetta dello Sport” newspaper: “Cristiano Ronaldo lives for the team, helps and gives advice to his teammates.”
He added: “Sometimes I let him talk to his fellow players. I cannot treat him like others, but he is smart and respects his role and my role.”
He continued: “If you arrive at the headquarters half an hour before, he arrives five minutes before that. He is always the first to enter the bus. “He is an idealist who demands a lot from himself and from others.”
