Zinedine Zidane, the new Real Madrid coach, has told
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain that they have no chance of
signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rafa Benitez was sacked by Real Madrid last week and Zinedine Zidane named as his replacement.
On Friday Zidane said: “Cristiano Ronaldo is
non-transferable. He’s the soul of this team. While he’s here, he won’t
leave. Cristiano will play on the wings, how he’s most comfortable. I
won’t tell him much. I want him to be happy.”
Zidane has also revealed that he has offered private words of encouragement to compatriot Benzema.
He said: “I have said to Benzema in private: ‘my God, you have some
quality!. Cristiano will play on the wing. I’m going to say few things
to Cristiano, I only want him to be happy. A player can always improve,
be he 20 or 34, and I want to help them improve. It’s difficult to know
which player has impressed me the most. We have tremendous quality, I
can’t single out just one player. It’s a pleasure for me to see them
play.”
