Juventus great Alessandro del Piero insists Cristiano Ronaldo's departure shouldn't be hurting the team.

Ronaldo left Juve for Manchester United in the final days of the summer market.

Del Piero told Sky Italia: "Obviously, all eyes were on Cristiano, his arrival was special, he gave a different flavour to the color bianconero.

"But a great team must have more than one leader, even with him there were other players, like (Giorgio) Chiellini.

"(Paulo) Dybala and (Alvaro) Morata have to contend for the lead role in attack. We're going to put (Fede) Chiesa in midfield (laughs) ... It's a half-joke, Chiesa should be exploited as much as possible in all phases."
