Juventus to a commanding 3-0 win over Crotone in the Serie A here on Tuesday. Cristiano Ronaldo's first-half brace and Weston McKennie's second-half strike powered Juventus to a commanding victory. After this victory, Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo said his side made a "nervous start" to the game but the two goals in the first half calmed them down.
A website quoted Pirlo as saying, ""We made a nervous start, possibly because of recent matches, but our two goals calmed us down and we were then able to manage the game well. It certainly wasn't our best start: our passing was sloppy, partly due to rushing and partly due to our desire to score an early goal." He further added, "In any case, it was important to get the three points this evening. We must try to improve our movement. [Alvaro] Morata isn't at his best and needs time. With Ronaldo up front, we need to develop our play out wide to pick him out in the box."
During the game, Ronaldo scored the first goal in the 38th minute before doubling Juventus' lead in the 45+1st minute. McKennie then found the back of the net in the 66th minute, sealing an impressive win for Juventus.
