The Juventus midfielder has praised his team-mate for his hard work and competitiveness after their first season playing together in Italy
Blaise Matuidi has called Cristiano Ronaldo’s work ethic inspirational, while admitting his own dedication is what's made him indispensable for France.
Ronaldo joined Matuidi in Turin at the start of the 2018-19 season and was instrumental in guiding the Bianconeri to an eighth straight Serie A title.
The World Cup winning France international said it would be easy for a player as decorated as Ronaldo to allow standards to slip, but insisted his new team-mate doesn’t allow that to happen.
