However, according to Marca, Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane immediately called the Portuguese star after knowing the intention. He discussed this statement with his students and learned the real reason for the dissatisfaction.
Coach Zidane's words will certainly have many meanings for Ronaldo. In fact, he was the only one who was able to convince Ronaldo to reduce his playing time for Real Madrid in the 2016-17 season. Thanks to that, this striker has been able to ensure his physical strength to compete at high level in the decisive stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Coach Zidane's message is quite clear. He told Ronaldo that the current Real Madrid team could still achieve more success. They need both CR7's goals and desire to win.
The head coach of Real Madrid clearly understands the influence of this Portuguese player in the team. At the same time, he must be grateful to him for his contributions to the success of the 2016-2017 season. Coach Zidane is confident that this problem can be solved.
He will definitely continue to talk to Ronaldo about this in the summer of 2017. At the end of this player's summer break, they will sit together and discuss specifics.
If coach Zidane cannot convince Ronaldo to stay at the Bernabeu, he will not keep the players who want to leave as he said before. He did not want players who could not contribute 100% of their abilities to the team.
Coach Zidane will not be alone in reaching out to the stars of the team that wants to leave. Center back Sergio Ramos has also called his teammates to convince them to stay. However, Ramos himself is in Ronaldo's position now but he chose to continue playing for Real Madrid. After that, the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles came to this central defender.
