Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri, have revealed that Portuguese forward, Cristiano Ronaldo was "angry" at his failure to win the UEFA Player of the Year award.
It can be recalled that Ronaldo joined Juve in July after scoring 15 goals as Real Madrid claimed the Champions League crown for the fourth time in five years, finished second in the voting behind his former Santiago Bernabeu team-mate Luka Modric.
However, the Old Ladies manager confirmed that his player was unimpressed.
"Cristiano is fine and he has trained well," he said.
"On Thursday, he was angry because he won the Champions League and scored 15 goals. This shows that he always wants to be the best."
As for his decision not to attend the award ceremony in Monaco, Allegri said: "It was a personal decision and it must be respected."
Ronaldo will get the chance to take his anger out on Parma on Saturday after Allegri confirmed the Portuguese would start at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
"Ronaldo and [Mario] Mandzukic will play. I still need to decide who will partner them in attack," he added.
