Sarri's Record And Dybala-Ronaldo Beautiful Goals
JAKARTA - Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri was stunned by goals from Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo against Sampdoria, Wednesday, 19 December evening. The racik interpreter said, the phrase 'wow' alone is not enough to describe the greatness of the two strikers.
Dybala scored a superb volley while Ronaldo found the net with a stunning header in the 2-1 win at Luigi Ferraris. This result at the same time sent Juve back to the top of Serie A.
Sarri praised both goals when he praised his two forwards. Ronaldo's header in the 45th minute was the winner after Gianluca Caprari - who was later sent off - equalized Dybala's goal.
"When Ronaldo scored, I thought the same thing with Dybala - 'shit, wow," he told a news conference.
"But 'wow' does not describe everything. They both scored two incredible goals," continued the coach.
Dybala prefers a left footed volley in a situation where 99 out of 100 players would stop the ball first and then shoot.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo, Sarri felt, the amount of time he spent in the air before heading the ball was very long. Extraordinary action both physically and technically.

One striker who is not on the scoresheet is Gonzalo Higuain. He was replaced by Aaron Ramsey in the 69th minute. When asked about Higuain who was upset because he was replaced, Sarri admitted that he was not affected.
"I don't care. Players always complain when they are replaced. It's better to stay away, but I don't care," he said.
Sarri explained that Higuain has been playing a lot lately and he looked very tired in the second half. That's the reason he replaced his former players at Napoli and Chelsea.
"Angry? There will be times when someone will start off the bench because of physical problems and the conditions of the strikers will be different than today. Everything is normal."
The match against Sampdoria was also very special for Sarri. The victory achieved by Juventus became the coach's 100th in Serie A. And he achieved it in just 169 games.
Since the 1994-95 season, the coach to reach the 100 fastest Serie A wins has been Carlo Ancelotti. He won it in 185 matches.
Sarri only started his coaching career in 2000, having previously worked at a bank. He spent most of his career in the lower leagues with clubs such as Sansovino, Sangiovannese, Arezzo, Avellino, Perugia, Grosseto and Sorrento.
