Football: Ronaldo pushed for Portugal to face Azerbaijan in Turin: reports

The Hindu  

Cristiano Ronaldo pushed for Portugal to play next week's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan in Turin, with the veteran forward keen for his nation to use Juventus' training centre as a base, according to reports in Italy. Earlier this month, Portugal were granted permission to change the location of their qualifier against Azerbaijan from Lisbon to Turin over coronavirus concerns, and several Italian newspapers suggest Ronaldo played a part in the move. Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport said Portugal's all-time top goalscorer also negotiated with Juventus for his compatriots to use the club's Continassa sports centre and for the team to stay at J|Hotel next to the training base. Portugal begin their qualification bid for next year's Qatar World Cup on Wednesday and will train at the Continassa base next Monday and Tuesday before facing Azerbaijan at the Juventus Stadium.
