Cesena defender Gianluca Frabotta recently accepted an interview with the media. He told an interesting story when he was playing for Juventus.

Frambotta said: "Cristiano Ronaldo plays the role of a role model every day, and one of his actions also impressed me deeply. I remember that during a tactical training, Sarri showed Ronaldo how to run during set pieces. Ronaldo was a little impatient. He thought he did not need these instructions. He is different.

" And he intuitively knows where the ball will land. To express this to his coach, Ronaldo grabbed a handful of grass, smelled it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. "

It is reported that Ronaldo will chew the grass on some training grounds. He said: "This is how I understand the court and the path of the ball. "

From the summer of 2019 to the summer of 2021, Frabotta played for the Bianconeri. Sarri served as the coach of Juventus in the 19-20 season. Ronaldo scored 31 goals and 5 assists in 33 Serie A appearances that season, helping Juventus defend its title.
