Cristiano Ronaldo on Real Madrid Boss Zinedine Zidane: He 'Made Me Feel Special'

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed his admiration for Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and his man-management style.

The Juventus forward was a key player under Zidane during the coach's first spell at the club, and he credited the Frenchman with getting the best out of him in that time.

He told DAZN (h/t Goal's Sacha Pisani):

"The confidence that a player needs doesn't only come from himself but also from the players around him and the coach.

"You need to feel like you are an important part of the group and Zidane made me feel special.
