MADRID Zinedine Zidane threw balls out over rumors of a possible return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Without going into depth, the Frenchman did admit what the Portuguese did at the Santiago Bernabéu.
“You know what a Christian is for Real Madrid. What he has done here is history, he is magnificent. He is now a Juve player. He is doing very well here. I can’t say anything because a lot is being said. He is a player. of Juve and I have to respect these things, “Zidane said.
And it is that, as reported by “El Xiringuito”, Jorge Mendes dropped the possibility of a return of CR7 to the board of Real Madrid. As ESPN has learned, the news has fallen with “surprise” around the white investor, although it is also privately admitted that this option is “very complicated.”
Zidane also spoke about Sergio Ramos and Edén Hazard. Both players will be available again for the match against Elche (Saturday, 16:15 CET).
On the Andalusian and his desire to be able to continue at Real Madrid, Zidane made it clear, once again, what his desire is as a white coach.
“I don’t know what will happen. What we want is for Sergio to stay here. He’s an important player for us. He’s always been and I want him to stay to keep playing. As a coach I can say that.”
Sergio Ramos himself confirmed on Thursday the information from ESPN of recent months and that there is still no news about its renewal: “There is no news of my renewal, I would like to …”, said the Madrid captain .
Real Madrid prefers to renew the cameroon year after year, while the player wants to sign two years in a row. It is expected that in the next two weeks there will be progress in making a decision in this regard.
About Hazard, Zidane announced that he sees it as “good” and asked for patience from the fans because his best version has yet to arrive despite the injuries of the last year and a half.
“He’s had his discomfort. It’s true that he’s never had a long injury before that kept him from playing for a long time. He has a long contract and when he gets well, motherfucker, he’s going to make it awesome. And how I am positive, I tell the fans that they can have doubts, that when a player is not at 100% it is complicated. He certainly does very well here “, declared the Madrid coach.
Zidane, by the way, also came out in the wake of rumors that put Varane out of the club this summer. The center ends his contract in June 2022 and, if Madrid does not renew him, he could only make money selling it at the end of this season.
“I don’t think so. He’s always said that. I’ve always heard him talk very well about the club. I think he’s very happy at Madrid and I only see him here,” said a convinced Zidane.
Finally, the French coach spoke about Asensio, of whom he said that “his injury does not prevent him from doing anything and it is clear that we will ask him more because we know the player he is”. And also about Vinicius, about whom he admitted that his evolution is “good knowing that he is young and wants to improve.”
