#1 Sarri's plans for Cristiano Ronaldo revealed

Maurizio Sarri's plans for Cristiano Ronaldo has come to light in recent reports. The Italian's appointment apparently had the seal of approval from the Portuguese Superstar, who will be looking to hit a higher gear in the upcoming season.

Latest reports suggest that the Italian will use one of two tactics at Juventus. The first is a 4-3-1-2, which is a formation he has used at Chelsea. Here, Sarri is willing to use Ronaldo as one of two forwards, with a playmaker operating just behind him. The other formation is a 4-3-3, which he also used at Chelsea, where Ronaldo will be used as a winger.

It is rumoured that Sarri is willing to utilize Ronaldo in the same way that he had used Eden Hazard, who enjoyed the best season of his career under the Italian and earned a move to Real Madrid. However, the only difference is that Sarri considers Ronaldo to be an even superior player and a better goal scorer. The Italian, as such, expects the Portuguese to score at least 40 goals in the upcoming season and is very confident that his system will enable Ronaldo to show his devastating form.
