DORTMUND: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane denied on Monday there was a rift between him and Cristiano Ronaldo after the team’s talisman appeared to react angrily to being substituted in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Las Palmas. “Everything is normal. Cristiano wasn’t the only one angry after the game but it’s over now and we are thinking about tomorrow’s game,” the Frenchman told a news conference on Tuesday. “I understand the level of attention it received but it is what it is. I took the decision in the best (interests) of the player and that’s not going to change anything. We have spoken about it. I’m not dumb and he’s intelligent. We all have the same objectives, the two of us and the rest of the team.”
