Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane
A
dark cloud is still hovering around Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane
as he could be shown the exit door anytime from now if the team fails to
bounce back.
Cristiano Ronaldo led other Real Madrid players on Sunday to avert the sack of manager Zinedine Zidane.
Real Madrid returned to winning ways after back-to-back defeats,
but the Portuguese, though couldn’t find back of the net, made an
important assist leading to Isco’s goal.
Before the Sunday’s 3-0 win against Las Palmas, the title holders
had successive lost against Girona and Tottenham over the past seven
days.
But reports in Spanish media at the weekend suggested that Madrid
President, Florentino Pérez had grown tired of the situation and was
willing to let the back-to-back Champions League winner go.
But the players reacted positively as they duly dispatched Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Casemiro gave Los Blancos the lead at the end the first half, the
Brazilian popping up to score his team’s very first headed goal of the
season.
A thunderous strike from Marco Asensio made it 2-0 after the
interval and Ronaldo then contributed a lovely assist for Isco as he
curled in a delightful ball for his teammate to fire home the third on
the break, but he could not even break into a smile as his teammates
celebrated the goal.
