Former Real Madrid master Zinedine Zidane has tipped
ex-teammate Ronaldo for a triumphant return from his recent injury woes...
'Zizou' moved quickly to contradict Pele, with the Brazilian legend having
previously stated that due to Ronaldo's age he will never again hit peak form.
But the former French international remarked, "Even though Pele said no, I must
say yes.
"Ronaldo showed back in 2002 that he can overcome difficult situations.
"That's why he is 'The Phenomenon.'"
The two played together for four seasons at Real Madrid, with Zidane's
contribution to the side ending in 2006. Ronaldo didn't last much longer, moving
to AC Milan in early 2007.
The pair have each three times won the FIFA World Player of the Year award, an
achievement shared only between the pair of them. |
