WhatsApp Cristiano
Cristiano Ronaldo has apologised to his Real Madrid team-mates for claiming they are not at his level, according to reports in Spain.
Following Real’s 1-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid at the weekend, a result that leaves them third in La Liga, four points behind their city rivals and 12 points off leaders Barcelona, Ronaldo was quoted by the Press Association as saying: “If we were all at my level, maybe we would be leaders.
“I don’t want to disrespect anyone, but when the best players aren’t available it’s harder to win. I like to play with Karim [Benzema], with [Gareth] Bale, with Marcelo. I’m not saying the others like Lucas Vazquez, Jesé [Rodriguez] and Mateo Kovacic are not good players. They are very good players, but it’s not the same.”
Real centre-back Sergio Ramos defended his team-mate soon after the comments were made, saying: “I know Cristiano well and I don’t think he was trying to shift the blame onto any of his team-mates,” and the player himself has now also apparently moved to ease any offence his colleagues may have taken from his assessment of their abilities.
According to El Mundo, Ronaldo apologised to his team-mates via WhatsApp, and in an interview with Marca, the 31-year-old is reported as saying: “I was referring to the physical level, not level of play. I am not better than any of my team-mates.”

Benitez Baton Passed to Zidane
 |
| Real Madrid |
Since 2014 Zizou has been coaching Real Madrid’s B team chasing his UEFA pro licence to be ready for that day he would take over the number 1 coaching job he had always wished for. Which in theory might have been next season at the earliest
He now gets that opportunity and the former Galactico becomes the 13th permanent manager in the 21st century at Real Madrid having won just one La LIga league title in the previous seven seasons.
Rafa's future was decided at an emergency board meeting on Monday in Madrid with his final act overseeing Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Gary Neville’s Valencia at the Mestalla. A game which saw Real Madrid reduced to 10 men and twice pegged back to a draw that leaves them in third place in La Liga. Four points behind the leaders Atlético Madrid.
During his seven months Benítez struggled to find favour among the supporters, a relationship made worse by the 4-0 home defeat to Barcelona in November’s Clásico. Then persistent rumours of unrest in his squad became more frequent and an indication of increasing player power at the top European clubs.
Despite that adversity he responded to the speculation on Sunday over his future by saying: “I cannot prevent speculation about whether I continue, but I can make the team work as it has today. We were capable of getting the three points.
“With 10 players we had to make an effort, and the team has done. We can only regret that after going 2-1 ahead, we conceded in the next minute. Maybe we were lacking a bit of concentration after we went 2-1 up or maybe the opposition reacted very well.”
The club captain Sergio Ramos also spoke after the Valencia match and gave his public backing to the under-fire manager. He told Movistar: “Benítez has credit in the bank. Whoever the coach is, we’ll always get behind them.”
Well Sergio the credit seemingly ran out with the club president, Florentino Perez it seems this week, and a man never visibly comfortable with the appointment. Even from the outstet last June.
On the otherhand for Benitez it was stuff of dreams as he returned to his home town and the club where he plied his trade in the junior ranks and discovered Raul Gonzalez. All the makings of a fairy tale having been the equivalent of Zidane in his first professional managerial sortee.
However seven months later it has all come to a sudden end with Benitez returning to his home on the Wirral Pennisula with much sadness no doubt.
His return to Real Madrid proving to be a personal nightmare.
For Zidane the time has come to move from being the legendary former player and earn a reputation in management. No tougher place to start your apprenticeship than at the Santiago Bernabeu.
May the force be with you Zizou.

Ramos Agrees Real Deal
Sergio Ramos will remain the heartbeat of the Santiago Bernabeu after agreeing a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2020.
This news effectively ends the Manchester United speculation that has continued all summer with countless rumours that the Premier League club has been interested in the unsettled Spanish international..
The new deal will be formally announced on Monday in Madrid by the president, Florentino Perez and comes juts in time for the Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu match against Galatasary on Tuesday night.
The new deal sees Ramos salary increased to €10m per year.
Born in Camas, Sevilla, Sergio Ramos began his career at local side Sevilla FC after emerging through the club's youth system alongside Jesús Navas and Antonio Puerta. He made his first-team in La Liga in February 2004 against Deportivo de La Coruña.
In the 2004–05 season, Ramos appeared in 41 games as Sevilla finished sixth and qualified for the UEFA Cup, scoring in home fixtures against Real Sociedad (2–1) and Real Madrid (2–2).
In the summer of 2005, Ramos joined Real Madrid for €27 million, a record for a Spanish teenager at the time. He proved to be the only Spanish player brought in during Florentino Pérez's first stint as Real's president with the Galacticos.

Real Ramos on Chelsea Radar

Chelsea are keeping a close eye on the growing rift between Sergio Ramos and Real Madrid, as they prepare a January bid for the defender.
Ramos has fallen out with boss Jose Mourinho after he was dropped him for their Champions League clash against Manchester City on Tuesday.
If the pair are unable to mend their broken relationship - the Madrid may offload the 26-year-old at the earliest opportunity, according to reports in Madrid.
Chelsea had been keen to bring in a defender over the summer but failed in their attempt to land Inter Milan star Maicon, who eventually joined City.
Roberto Di Matteo is keen to strengthen his side’s defence after they threw away a two-goal lead against Juventus on Wednesday.
The ability of Ramos to play both in the middle and at right-back makes him an attractive target.
The current crisis is not the first time the Spain international has clashed with Mourinho.
The former Chelsea boss was also upset at Ramos’s post-match comments following a cup defeat to Barcelona in January.
