Juventus captain Chiellini: What Tevez and Ronaldo were like as teammates...

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini has spoken of playing with Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tevez enjoyed great success with Juve and Chiellini says the Argentine's attitude was difference.

He recalled: "He was the one who bothered the most in training: he threw himself on top of the defenders, he tired them psychologically.

"What made the difference was his attitude: the rivals were afraid of him."

Chiellini also discussed Ronaldo, who left Juve in August for Manchester United.

He added: "We were prepared for the outcry caused by his presence, but once he was part of the group, he behaved normally with everyone. You could joke with him even though he is a walking multinational."
