PARIS:
Zinedine Zidane insists that Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has
more to give in the future and will end up winning more Ballon d'Or
titles than rival Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
"Ronaldo will win more Ballons d'Or," he told Goal.com on Monday.
A week ago in Zurich, the 29-year-old Portuguese striker was crowned
the world's best player of 2014 for the third time overall, leaving him
just one behind his Argentine counterpart.
"What he's doing is
from another planet. If this continues, he will improve even further and
may end up winning more than Messi," said the iconic Zidane, 42, who's
coaching Real reserves Castilla after retiring from soccer with Real,
Xinhua reported.
The former France international had a lot to say about compatriot Karim Benzema, saying he's exceptional for Los Blancos.
"He is another very important player. Sometimes it is discussed whether
to change to him to a No.9 for Madrid and it's wrong. All wrong," said
Zidane.
"He is not a player who will score 60 goals a year like
Cristiano, but thanks to his quality, he links up with everyone and
always makes the moves that the team needs," he added. "Very few in the
world can do that."
