Allegri calls for patience as Ronaldo and new Juventus signings settle

Massimiliano Allegri was pleased with the way Juventus dealt with the occasion of Cristiano Ronaldo's home debut against Lazio, although he insists it will take time for the champions to settle.

Juve were busy in the transfer market, bringing in Ronaldo, Joao Cancelo and Emre Can among others, while also sealing the return of former favourite Leonardo Bonucci.

The Bianconeri have not been wholly convincing in their first two wins of the season, but a 2-0 defeat of Lazio satisfied the coach as he continues to see progress.

"It was a different game to Verona [a 3-2 win at Chievo on the opening day]," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.
