Cristiano Ronaldo showed no effects on any sort of mind games that Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski tried to play ahead of Juventus vs Fiorentina in Serie A and instead scored two penalties against him on Sunday to score for a ninth consecutive game in the league.
Ahead of the clash on Sunday, Dragowski claimed that he had studied Ronaldo's penalty-taking methods very closely and he knew where the Juventus striker would shoot them.
Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Dragowski made the comment of having studied the Portugese striker well enough to have known where he shoots penalties. "I studied Cristiano Ronaldo, I know how he shoots," he said, adding that he was not going to tell how because chances are Ronaldo will "read this and change it".
Ironically, Fiorentina ended up conceding two penalties and both times, Ronaldo stepped up and scored from both to quash those mind games of Dragowski. Juventus, eventually, won the match 3-0, retaining their top spot in the Serie A points table.
Twitter did not forget Dragowski's comments and after Ronaldo's penalty-brace, the Polish keeper was heavily trolled on the social media platform.
