The head coach of Madrid's "Real" does not make a tragedy out of Cristiano Ronaldo's poor sporting form and believes that soon one of the best footballers in the world will start scoring goals regularly again.
In the summer, after triumphing with the Portuguese national team at the European Championship, but suffering an injury in the final, C. Ronaldo is struggling to start the season - he has only scored four goals in the nine games played. As statistics show, this is the worst start to a season in the entire period when the Portuguese player has been playing in Madrid.
Z. Zidane claims that he hasn't spoken to C. Ronaldo separately about this and has also asked the fans to be patient, as a significant part of them started booing the forward during the match against "Athletic" Bilbao.
"I haven't talked to Cristiano separately. Of course, I would like him to score two or three goals in every match, but sometimes that just doesn't happen. I don't make a big deal out of it. The most important thing is that he creates opportunities and takes good shots, but he just can't convert them into goals. Everyone will forget about it when he reaches his usual performance levels again.
I partly don't understand and partly understand the booing of the fans. They booed me when I was a player too. Fans demand a lot from every player. "Santiago Bernabeu" is a special place and each one of us understands that. Cristiano does too. Now the most important thing is to continue working in training," Z. Zidane said.
