Buffon: Ronaldo not to blame for Juventus problems | OneFootball

Parma goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has expanded on comments about Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Juventus changing the club's "DNA".

Buffon insists the problem was with some players and not the current Manchester United striker.

He said, “I said that a certain DNA had been lost with him because I think so, and on deeper reflection I can say that clearly it's not Cristiano's fault, because he is top and when you sign a player of that calibre you know what you're getting into.

“You have to understand if the others are prepared and in my opinion many players weren't ready to share a certain type of experience. Whether you like it or not, everyone feels like Cristiano and this should never happen, especially in a club like Juve.

“When he arrived in Turin, I went to Paris. And when I came back I saw something different, that didn't remind me of what I had left behind."
