Frosinone man Emil Hallfredsson has been speaking about Cristiano Ronaldo as his side prepare to play the Portuguese star and his Juventus team-mates.

Speaking to 'Goal', the Iceland international highlighted how difficult it is to score goals in Serie A. It took Ronaldo until his fourth game in the season to open his account at his new team.

"In Italy it's difficult to score," he began. "It's almost impossible to score 50 goals like in Spain because it is more defensive here. 

He also believes that Ronaldo's arrival in Italy will make the league stronger. The eyes of the world are suddenly on the league, with Ronaldo brining millions of followers with him. 

"I think his coming here is good for Serie A. There will be a lot of people in the stadiums. It helps the town that a player of his calibre is coming here. He is maybe one of the best players of all time," he added.
