Ronaldo to continue playing despite rape claim: Allegri

TIL Desk Sports/ Cristiano Ronaldo will continue playing for Juventus despite a police investigation into a rape allegation against the Portuguese star, coach Massimiliano Allegri said on Friday. “He’s very calm and working well, and I’m not the one to respond to things that don’t concern me because they are personal,” Allegri said at a news conference.

“Besides, he’s arrived here with great humility and settled in well, giving attention and a sense of responsibility to a side who have always had this. “He’s scoring goals too, which is what he does best, in addition to the assists.” Ronaldo has scored four goals and set up five in his eight Serie A games this season.

A criminal investigation involving Ronaldo is currently going on in Las Vegas, where he is accused of rape with police re-opening a case from 2009. He has denied the accusations on Twitter, labelling it an “abominable crime” and that the claim is being made “by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense.”Talking about Juventus, they have won eight Serie A matches in a row and sit six points ahead of Napoli.
