Cristiano could've done more' - Zidane looks to Ronaldo and Bale to lead Madrid revival

Ronaldo and Bale to lead Madrid revival


Form and fitness have been respective issues for the pair this season but they remain vital to to the Real manager
Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will be the key figures in turning the second half of Real Madrid's season around, according to head coach Zinedine Zidane.
Madrid are languishing 19 points behind rivals and runaway leaders Barcelona in La Liga, while Leganes humiliatingly dumped them out of the Copa del Rey last week.
However, back-to-back La Liga wins over Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia have plundered 11 goals, with Ronaldo hitting a brace in each match after falling below his customarily prolific levels so far this season.
"It's the same as always, he's always there," said Zidane of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner ahead of Saturday's trip to Levante.
"We are always going to ask more from Cristiano because he is the reference point for this team.
"When you finish a game, people can always say Cristiano could have done more.
"I'm happy with him and the others the same. When there are difficult moments that's part of a season. We have to be positive and, in the end, I don't look at the past.
"I look at the last game that we did in Valencia. That's positive and at Levante we have another game to show that we want more."
A major positive among the gloom at the Santiago Bernabeu has been Bale's superb return to action following his latest troublesome calf injury setback.
The Wales star was the catalyst for the Deportivo thumping with an excellent brace and Zidane acknowledges Bale is unlike any of the other stars at his disposal.
"The important thing to start with is that he has consistency, he's in the team and he can train with his team-mates every day," the head coach explained.
"Most importantly, he needs the rhythm of the match. If he plays well and recovers well, with everything he can bring to the team he is a different player.
"When he is at his best, he is the player who makes the difference, quite simply.
"He's scored goals recently and we know when he gets the ball something is going to happen."

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past.

There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday.

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know  I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
