This time, Ronaldo is not the protagonist.
The most sentimental football is here.
The suspense of the Bundesliga champion is over and the Premier League has entered the rematch schedule.
In England, VAR once again became the focus of attention on the first day of the restart, while Manchester City defeated Arsenal with a sound victory.
However, the story of Apenning this night is more topical-Napoli beat Juventus in a penalty shootout, undermining Ronaldo's dream of collecting another title.
Cristiano Ronaldo, with a strong heart, has always been regarded as Mr. spectacle. In his previous 29 cup finals, Cristiano Ronaldo has created 21 goals (19 goals and 2 assists) and lost only seven times since the Club World Cup final in 2014. the president has won 11 consecutive finals, so he has won the reputation of king of the final.
However, that has changed since joining Juventus. It was unusual for Cristiano Ronaldo to lose 3-1 to Lazio in the Italian Super Cup final last December.
Even in the Coppa Italia final in the early hours of this morning, the result was traceable.
Since Surrey coached Juve, "Surarianism" runs counter to the Bianconeri's calm spirit of a century, and the team's control has been greatly weakened.
Juve have been beaten by Serie A rivals Lazio so far this season and lost 2-1 to arch-rivals Napoli in January-a game in which Ronaldo scored at the last minute and became a fig leaf for Juve.
Four days ago, the Bianconeri were in bad shape in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. Against AC Milan at home, the team achieved nothing after playing one more person in 70 minutes. Juve made 26 shots in the game, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored seven times alone, but failed to break the opponent's city once.
The negative impact of the long suspension on Juve is obvious, not only is Ronaldo unable to recover the state of 11 consecutive Serie A goals, but also his teammates are constantly making mistakes.
This Coppa Italia final seems to be a repeat of the game four days ago, except that Napoli have a stronger squad and more orderly personnel.
Surrey continues to play the Trident of Cristiano Ronaldo, Dibala and Douglas Costa, but there is little contact between the three on the court.
An uncreative Juve, an unenterprising Juve, thus lost in the night at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and could not even enter the penalty shootout had it not been for Gianluigi Buffon.
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo was not the protagonist in the Coppa Italia final, and the balance of victory tilted when Menette shut out Dibala's shot in a penalty shootout.
At least in such a strong dialogue, the Neapolitans showed more courage.
The team from the south coast of Italy, which has held up the banner against Juve since the 16th season in 2015, did not win a title at its peak, but beat Juventus this season when they were in trouble.
We will miss the Naples under Surrey.
In the 201516 season, they lost a long-term lead to Juventus, which scored 73 points in 25 rounds, when Surrey's system was not yet fully formed. In the 18th season in 2017, Naples struggled with Juventus until the last minute, and even won the battle against the Bianconeri in Tianwangshan, but still did not win the championship in the end.
Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus so that Serie A lost its suspense, Napoli's challenge was extremely weak from the very beginning.
Now, the former Naples hero Sari stands on the Juventus bench, fate crowns Naples in such a certain way, and perhaps the story is destined to end at this moment.
Gattuso, who is regarded as "foolhardy", proved himself with a champion, proving that spiritual motivation is always a part of football, and the "hothead" coach also has spring.
From a competitive point of view, the plot of the Coppa Italia final is not good enough, but from an emotional point of view, the ending is full of sublimation of grudges.
Napoli finally pushed Juve off the throne, although the throne is not Serie A, they explain what "where there is a will, there is a way", their city has reason to revel.
And more people may want to get familiar with Ronaldo, who is no longer the protagonist of the final. although we believe that his strength and character will eventually return, time is an unbeatable enemy, even if you are Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Coppa Italia plot is over and the Serie A schedule is coming. Can Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus continue to run?

Angels on the pitch.
In the heart of a bustling city, where the rhythm of life pulses through the streets like a steady heartbeat, there existed a small soccer field tucked away from the chaos. This field wasn't just any ordinary patch of grass; it was a sanctuary, a place where dreams took flight on the wings of determination and passion. It was here that the story of the angels of the pitch unfolded.At the crack of dawn, when the world was still cloaked in darkness, a group of young boys and girls would gather at the field, their cleats clicking against the pavement as they made their way to the hallowed ground. Among them was Alex, a talented midfielder with a heart of gold and feet that danced with grace across the turf.On one particular morning, as the sun began to peek over the horizon, Alex noticed something peculiar. A pair of worn-out cleats lay abandoned near the goalpost, as if waiting to be discovered. Intrigued, Alex approached the cleats and picked them up, examining them with curiosity. Despite their battered appearance, there was an air of magic about them, as if they held a story waiting to be told."Hey, check these out!" Alex called out to the others, holding up the cleats for all to see.The group gathered around, their eyes widening in wonder as they beheld the mysterious footwear. They had heard tales of legendary players who had once graced the field, but never had they come across such a tangible relic of the past."Maybe they belong to one of the angels," whispered Mia, the team's star striker, her voice barely above a breath."Angels?" scoffed Diego, the goalkeeper, a skeptic to the core. "There's no such thing."But Alex knew better. There was a magic in the air that morning, a sense of possibility that transcended the boundaries of belief. With a determined gleam in his eye, he slipped on the cleats, feeling a surge of energy course through his veins like electricity.As the team began their training session, something extraordinary happened. Alex moved with a newfound agility, his every step infused with the spirit of those who had come before him. With each pass and shot, he felt as if he were channeling the skill and wisdom of the angels of the pitch.As the days turned into weeks, Alex's teammates couldn't help but notice the change in him. His once tentative touches had been replaced by a confidence that bordered on the divine. It was as if he had been touched by an unseen hand, guided by forces beyond mortal comprehension.But with great power came great responsibility, and Alex knew that he couldn't keep the secret of the cleats to himself forever. So one evening, as the sun dipped below the skyline and the field was bathed in the soft glow of twilight, he gathered his teammates around him and revealed the truth."These cleats," he began, his voice steady with conviction, "they're not just ordinary shoes. They're a reminder of all those who have played on this field before us, of the angels who watch over us even now."The others listened in rapt silence as Alex recounted the legend of the angels of the pitch, of how they had once roamed the earth spreading joy and inspiration through the beautiful game of soccer. And as he spoke, they felt a sense of awe wash over them, as if they were being blessed by unseen hands.From that day forward, the cleats became more than just a pair of shoes; they became a symbol of hope and unity for the team. With each passing game, they would lace up their boots and take to the field with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that they were not alone in their quest for victory.And so, the angels of the pitch continued to weave their magic, their presence felt in every pass, every tackle, every goal. For on that sacred ground, where dreams took flight and legends were born, they watched over their earthly counterparts with pride and affection, forever guiding them towards greatness.
