France Legend and Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane has tipped his star player, Cristiano Dos Santos Aveiro Ronaldo to win the FIFA men best player of the year award tonight.
Zidane declared his support for Ronaldo in his post-match conference after their 3-0 victory over Eibar on Sunday. Zidane said “Ronaldo is the best player of his generation, by a long way. He has shown that many times, he makes the difference in the big games”.
The 45-year-old coach also said “It is very deserved what he is winning tomorrow (Monday), all his prizes are deserved. He always shows he wants to be the best, and he is. When Cristiano does not score I get asked always the same thing. We are not worried, although it is better when he scores. It is important for him, but the most important is that he is getting chances. This lasts a long time. He is the all-time-top scorer in the Champions League, and has a chance to score again next week in La Liga (against Girona).
