Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a star from Portugal, is good at football. People often compare him to Lionel Messi, who is a footballer from Argentina.

Some people think Ronaldo is the best, while others believe Messi is the greatest.

But even with this discussion, most people agree that Ronaldo is disciplined and maintains high professional standards.

In the 2020-2021 season, Andrea Pirlo was the coach of the Italian football club Juventus. While he was there, he coached many players, including Ronaldo.

In the three years from 2018 to 2021, the Portuguese star made a big impact on the club’s reputation and its fan base. According to Forbes, the club’s collective following on social media doubled from 50 million to 113 million followers during that time.

Even though the star couldn’t help the team win a UEFA Champions League title, he did guide them to two Serie A league titles in three seasons.

The previous coach, Pirlo, personally witnessed Ronaldo’s dedication and professionalism.

“Coaching Juve was a great experience. It was a journey with a young and new team; I have no regrets,” Pirlo said, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.

“Coaching Ronaldo helps you see why he’s considered the best in the world. He’s an excellent professional in everything: from his diet to recovery, to the training itself.”

Ronaldo not only increased Juventus’ fanbase but also generated more revenue for the club.

“In his first season, Juventus’ income increased by about €58 million ($68.4 million) from regular sources like the stadium, commercial deals, and merchandising. The club sold 1 million shirts in 2018/19, which was more than double compared to the previous year,” as reported by Forbes.

In the second season, Juventus renegotiated their existing deals with Jeep and Adidas because of Ronaldo’s presence. The deal with Jeep increased from $20 million to $49.5 million, and the Adidas deal rose from $27 million to $60 million.
