MADRID. – Zinedine Zidane threw balls over rumors of a possible return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Without going into depth, the French admitted what the Portuguese did on the Santiago Bernabéu.
“You know what Cristiano is to Real Madrid. What he’s done here is history, it’s beautiful. Now he is a Juve player. He’s doing very well there. I can’t say anything because a lot is said. He’s a Juve player and I have to respect these things, ”said Zidane.
And, as reported by “El Chiringuito,” Jorge Mendes dropped the possibility of CR7’s return to the Real Madrid administration. As ESPN has learned, the news has been “taken by surprise” in the white wardrobe, although it is also privately admitted that this option is “very complicated”.
Zidane also spoke about Sergio Ramos and Eden Hazard. Both players will be available again for the game against Elche (Saturday, 16:15 CET).
Regarding the Andalusian and his desire to continue at Real Madrid, Zidane made it clear once again what his wish is as a white coach.
‘I don’t know what’s going to happen. What we want is for Sergio to stay here. He is an important player for us. It’s always been that way and I want him to keep playing. As a coach I can say that ”.
Sergio Ramos himself confirmed the information from ESPN in recent months that there is still no news about his renewal: “There is no news about my renewal, I would like …” said the Madrid captain.
Real Madrid prefers to renew the camera year after year, while the player wants to sign for two years at once. It is expected that there will be progress in making a decision on this in the next two weeks.
Regarding Hazard, Zidane announced that he looks “good” and asked fans for patience as his best version is yet to come despite the injuries of the past year and a half.
‘He’s had his problems. It is true that he had never had a long injury that prevented him from playing for a long time. He’s on a long contract and when he gets better, damn good, he’s going to make it impressive. And since I am positive, I tell the fans who may be in doubt that when a player is not 100%, it is complicated. He is certainly doing very well here, ”said the Madrid coach.
Zidane also came into contact with the rumors that Varane would remove from the club this summer. The center-back will end his contract in June 2022 and if Madrid does not renew him, he will only be able to make money by selling him at the end of this season.
“I don’t believe it. Besides, he has always said it. I have always heard him praise the club. I think he is very happy at Madrid and I only see him here,” said a convinced Zidane.
Finally, the French coach spoke of Asensio, who said that “his injury does not prevent him from doing anything and it is clear that we are going to ask for more because we know the player he is.” And also about Vinicius, who admitted that his evolution “is good knowing that he is young who wants to improve”.
