Zidane: CR7 is staying

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has rubbished the report that claim Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the club this summer.

Portuguese media reported that the 32-year-old attacker have decided to leave the Bernabeu after being accused of tax fraud.

"In the end, Cristiano is one of us," Zidane told ESPN.

"He's going to stay with us. And that's it. He's on holiday as of today. He's resting, as he's deserved it. We wait for him to finish his holiday and join us.

"It's not about the happiness of the players. Managing this squad, managing these players, it's my job.

"I'm going to use all my players because we're going to play 50, 60, 70 matches at times. I'm going to need all of them.

"In the end, I'm not here to make a certain player happy because you can play someone 50 games and then leave him out for one and he's pissed.

"The idea is something else because managing this squad, you're utilizing all of the players. In the end last season, everything went well.

“We won and the players had confidence in what I'm trying to do and that is the most important.”
