"Z.Zidane: "I am not a fool, and Cristiano is smart""

Before the UEFA Champions League match between Dortmund's "Borussia" and Madrid's "Real" clubs, an incident from the "La Liga" championship was recalled when Cristiano Ronaldo, replaced in Las Palmas, did not spare harsh words for coach Zinedine Zidane.

"Everything is fine," the strategist now assured journalists.

"Not only Ronaldo behaves like this - any player would be angry if they had to leave the field.

We are thinking about the match with the Germans, and this decision was made in the name of the player himself.

Nothing has changed, I am not tormented by tension.

I am not foolish, and Cristiano is intelligent. We are both here for the same goals," Zidane insisted.
