Inside a Juventus dressing room filled with expectations and pressure, the midfielder witnessed behavior that stayed with him long after Ronaldo’s departure. Cristiano Ronaldo’s extreme work ethic is back in the spotlight as Weston McKennie has reflected on their time together at Juventus, offering a glimpse into a world few players ever experience. Their paths crossed for a single season, yet the impact of those months continues to shape how McKennie views professionalism at the highest level. Inside a Juventus dressing room filled with expectations and pressure, the midfielder witnessed behavior that stayed with him long after Ronaldo’s departure. When the Portuguese joined Juventus in 2018, the transfer felt like a declaration of ambition for the entire club. Signed from Real Madrid for over $117 million, he brought elite consistency and a reputation for reshaping standards wherever he played. His presence alone changed the atmosphere, with the Bianconeri hoping he would deliver the UEFA Champions League title that had proven elusive. Over his three-year stay, he scored 101 goals in 134 matches, an astonishing return even by his own standards. The Old Lady claimed two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia, and two Italian Super Cups trophies, achievements that confirmed the superstar’s value. Yet the Champions League continued to torment the club, with several promising campaigns falling short before the final stages. Then, the 2020-21 season brought fresh changes as Andrea Pirlo took charge, determined to modernize Juventus with tactically flexible midfield roles. The American midfielder arrived on loan from Schalke, eventually earning a permanent transfer thanks to his energy and attacking instincts. He played as a hybrid midfielder, operating between lines and frequently joining attacks that revolved around Ronaldo. They featured together in roughly 28 games across competitions. Their partnership wasn’t built on constant passing triangles but on complementary movement, with McKennie’s surges creating space for Ronaldo’s finishing. One of their standout shared moments came in the Champions League win over Barcelona, when McKennie delivered a spectacular volley, and Ronaldo added two goals in a 3-0 victory. What did McKennie say about Ronaldo? Now, in a wide-ranging interview for DAZN’s Remember the Name, McKennie finally revealed what he witnessed behind closed doors. Speaking with admiration, he said, “It was incredible to play with him. When I met him, I thought that everything you hear about his professionalism is completely true.” Then came the anecdote that highlighted Ronaldo’s almost otherworldly dedication. “We’d come back from games at 3:00 AM, and he’d go for an ice bath instead of going home. The morning after a tough game, he’d be in the gym training his whole body. It was something I needed to see with my own eyes to believe.” Cristiano Ronaldo of Juventus F.C. celebrates with Weston McKennie after scoring McKennie’s role in Juventus’ post-Ronaldo evolution Despite individual brilliance, Juventus struggled with stability during the campaign. Fourth place in Serie A summed up a season full of flashes yet lacking continuity, eventually leading to Pirlo’s dismissal. That turbulent year marked the end of Ronaldo’s time in Turin, as he made an emotional return to Manchester United in 2021. McKennie, meanwhile, became part of the club’s transition toward a structure less centered on one global star. The adjustment required patience, self-belief, and the guidance of a manager who could help him re-establish his identity.

Despite arriving as a full-fledged veteran, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to make a solid impact at Juventus. Nevertheless, former executive Fabio Paratici reveals that the Portuguese created a problem within the team with his imposing goal-scoring quality. After shining for several years at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo made the drastic decision to leave the club, heading to Juventus. Although he arrived as a full-fledged veteran, he managed to showcase his imposing quality, leading the attack. Nevertheless, former executive Fabio Paratici reveals that the Ronaldo created a major problem in the squad with his dominant goal-scoring ability. “Precious for Juve (on Ronaldo’s arrival), important for everyone since Mourinho later was at Roma—a league needs great characters. We all wanted the Champions League, and in our first year we could have won it… The problem was that by scoring a goal per game, Cristiano made life too easy for his teammates, who had already won so much. That’s why we changed coaches, to try to restructure,” Fabio Paratici said, via Corriere della Sera. In his first season with the Vecchia Signora, the Portuguese managed to score 28 goals and provide 14 assists in 48 matches. With this, he established as the team’s most productive player. Far from being an isolated performance, he went on to improve his output, scoring more than 35 goals in the next two seasons. Despite this, they failed to shine in the Champions League, piling up disappointment after disappointment. While Paratici’s words might sound like a subtle jab at Ronaldo, this is far from the case. Instead, Fabio was aiming to deliver a strong criticism of Juventus’ squad, which stopped contributing collectively as they used to. Even though the Portuguese was shining, the team seemed to place the entire offensive burden on him, moving away from the collective approach seen in previous seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo of Juventus celebrates with the TIMVISION cup. Ronaldo shined in the scoring side, but Juventus couldn’t keep up Throughout his tenure at Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo consistently demonstrated that he was a player on another level. Across 134 matches, he scored 101 goals and provided 28 assists. His presence on the pitch guaranteed Juventus world-class attacking output, representing a clear step up in quality. However, the roster struggled to maintain a cohesive and fluid style of play, with serious concerns arising in both the midfield and defensive line. Despite his remarkable scoring ability, Ronaldo could not shoulder the team’s entire creative and defensive workload. Unlike in previous seasons, his teammates failed to provide structural solidity, offering little security against opponents. Rather than building the roster around his strengths, the front office did not surround Ronaldo with the right profiles to maximize his talent, ultimately squandering several years of his prime. While at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo perfectly complemented a strong roster. At Juventus, however, he became the central star of a weaker squad. Moreover, the Italian side invested heavily in sustaining the veteran forward, often neglecting broader squad renewal. As a result, the team experienced a noticeable decline in performance, leaving the Portuguese star without sufficient world-class support.

JOIN MSC INSIDER BELOW: https://modernsoccercoach.mimentorportal.com/subscriptions As Martin O’Neill returns to Celtic Football Club, we revisit a powerful conversation that captures everything he stands for as a coach and leader. From his early days under Brian Clough to managing Leicester, Celtic, Aston Villa, and the Republic of Ireland, O’Neill has lived through every phase of football’s evolution — and he’s never lost sight of what truly matters. In this interview, Martin reflects on: The lessons from Brian Clough and why simplicity still wins in a complicated world. Rebuilding belief at Celtic, turning a 21-point deficit into a 6–2 victory over Rangers and a title-winning side. Managing upwards in the modern game, where CEOs, directors, and data often overshadow football people. Roy Keane’s impact on culture, standards, and leadership inside the dressing room. The dangers of over-analysis, and why clarity and trust will always be the foundation of coaching. It’s an honest, entertaining, and deeply relevant listen for any coach navigating today’s game — reminding us that football is still, at its core, about people, relationships, and belief.

Ian Taylor joins us this week, remembered by fans for being at the heart of Aston Villa's midfield and remembered by teammates for being the entertainments manager. Starting out at Port Vale at the age of 23, Taylor had to take a wage cut from his job as a forklift driver to become a professional footballer on the plus side he got given a car which disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Once at Aston Villa he hit the ground rolling in a team with big personalties including Saša Ćurčić, Dwight Yorke, Alan Thompson & of course former England Manager Gareth Southgate. In a surprising revelation we hear that Gareth Southgate may not be as strait laced as everyone thinks and loved surrounding himself with the mavericks of that great Aston Villa side. We also dig into how Villa went from top of the league at Christmas to finishing closer to the relegation zone than the title, while exploring Stan Collymore's short fuse and Dwight Yorke’s impact on Birmingham both on and off the field.

In an incredible career, the 30-year-old has won the Champions League four times, La Liga and the Premier League as well as playing in a World Cup.

And with Jurgen Klopp entering remaining few months as Liverpool manager after announcing he would leave the club at the end of the seasons, our guests talk through the impact his decision will have as well as who should be expected to takeover the Anfield hotseat. Super 6 returns with Ben to provide the latest scores… and Gary springs a surprise twist with an additional fixture up for grabs as he looks to move further into the lead from Roy’s. Lastly we end with your Community Questions: Who is the best-ever January signing, would Gary be a modern-day cenrte-back rather than a fullback and what is the worst piece of man management the panel has seen?

BERT AND ERNIE. ABBI AND ILANA. GREALS AND HAALAND. Manchester City's terrible twosome has entered the ranks of histories greatest duos, and they've done it all without messing up their glorious hair. And this week, Treble winners Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland sit down with Rog for an epic breakdown of their drastically different approaches to football, what Greals thought of Erling the first time they met, and the special goal celebration they have planned for Rog. Plus, we get an answer to the question on top of everybody's mind...what does Erling Haaland smell like? But first, Rog is joined by Arsenal manager and Everton legend Mikel Arteta to discuss how he persevered through early adversity in North London, what he learned from last year's heartbreaking finish below Manchester City in the Premier League table, and why empathy is such an important trait in a footballer.

Jonny Pringle joins James to discuss what we can expect from Manchester City and their FPL assets in the opening weeks of the season and the Podcast begins by reflecting on City’s treble triumph and by asking if City can maintain the motivation to seek more glory. Are we in a perma-cap phase for Erling Haaland at the season’s beginning? Is there any case to make for FPL managers to go against him? Hopes are high for Phil Foden but where will he play and for FPL does it matter? Does Jack Grealish offer a more reliable alternative? Is Kevin De Bruyne too expensive for consideration? Plus, who’s the standout defensive choice? What’s the impact on the team with the departures of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez? And is City’s squad looking a little thin?
