Allegri reveals why Ronaldo will not play against Atalanta

Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the media ahead of the match against Atalanta and revealed an interesting detail on Cristiano Ronaldo and why he will not play in the Boxing Day special Serie A round tomorrow.

"For the first time, Ronaldo and I will watch the match together from the bench. I am very happy with what he is doing and his numbers are fantastic, but I want him to be at the top in March, when the season is at its decisive points," Allegri said.
