Madril's "Real" club manager Zinedine Zidane explained his decision to replace forward Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the "La Liga" championship match. The team left without a leader failed to beat "Levante" with a 2:2 draw. After the match, the Frenchman insisted that the player ended up on the bench not because of fatigue. "No, I had simply planned to replace him. We controlled the game and the hardest part was scoring goals. We took the lead 2:1, but mistakes cost us goals. This year has been difficult for "Real" and the team has struggled to show stable results. I am not satisfied with today's achievement. It's a shame we didn't hold onto the lead - we didn't control the ball and looked poor defensively. I replaced C.Ronaldo because I wanted another player to play more in the midfield and be involved in defensive actions," said Zidane.
