Zidane : "Ribery was born to play for Real Madrid"

In the second part of a three-part interview with Marca, Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane has commented on a variety of issues, including Kaka, Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, and Raul.

Zizou first analysed Kaka's situation, believing that the Brazilian will be a great success in the Spanish capital, declaring: "I do not have any doubt about Kaka."

Reportedly one of the most important links tying Bayern Munich superstar Franck Ribery to a potential move to Los Blancos, Zidane made it clear where he believes the Frenchman should seek employment. "Ribery was born to play at Real Madrid," said the French legend about his compatriot. As for Benzema, who is having some difficulty adjusting to La Liga, Zidane praised the striker: "He has talent, but he needs do what Madrid demands of him."

As for Raul, Zidane praised his former team-mate. "Raul is an example. His attitude is phenomenal."

Finally, Zidane's was asked to comment on Manuel Pellegrini's job as Madrid coach. "Personally, I do not know him very well. But I would maintain him as coach," said the Frenchman.

Zidane:"I have been won over by Ronaldo"

Zinedine Zidane admits he's been "won over" by Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zidane went public in the summer urging Real to sign Franck Ribery ahead of the former Manchester United star.

But he now says: "I was surprised by his play. He is a player that has a lot of self-confidence, a belief in everything he does. He imposes his determination on the rest. He's great in everything he does.

"It's amazing the success he has achieved at his age.

"My favourite type of player is more similar to (Andres) Iniesta, a team player. But Cristiano has won me over, I'm under the influence of his charm.

"He makes a real difference."

Zinedine Zidane : Cristiano Ronaldo Has More Star Quality Than David Beckham

Zinedine Zidane believes that Cristiano Ronaldo was always destined to play for Real Madrid and that the Portuguese is now the biggest star in world football.

The French legend is delighted that the former Manchester United forward completed a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer for a record breaking €94 million.

Having been part of the Galactico era at Madrid, Zidane is well placed to judge, and he thinks that Ronaldo is even bigger than David Beckham.

“Cristiano Ronaldo was destined to end up at Real Madrid - he is the perfect player for this club," he was quoted as saying by Sport.

“He has star quality like no other in the football world right now – not even my good friend David Beckham can compete with him anymore.”

Zidane is back at Real Madrid in an ambassadorial role and is pleased with his position at the club.

“Ever since I ended my career I hoped I could return to Real Madrid in some capacity. The club has played a huge part in my life," he continued.

“Don Florentino Perez contacted me about being an advisor on sporting matters – that was a dream role for me because I know football and I know a lot of people.”

Zidane: Franck Ribery Should Be At Real Madrid

Real Madrid Sporting Advisor Zinedine Zidane has told Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery that should he decide to leave the Allianz Arena, his only port of call should be Madrid.

Ribery has been heavily linked with both Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer, with the latter stepping up their efforts to land the 26-year old to add him to the stellar list of transfers taking place under Florentino Perez this summer.

Zidane confirmed to French newspaper Le Dauphine Libere that Los Blancos has commenced negotiations with the winger and called Ribery ‘a fantastic footballer.’

He reiterated his desire to see the player at the Bernabeu next season, and said it makes sense, for his career, to move to Real Madrid.

“His [Ribery’s] place is at Real Madrid. Playing with us would be a great opportunity for his career and something that he could not refuse.”

Furthermore, Zidane responded to accusations that Perez is simply attempting to buy success for the club, by stating that, "bringing the best players in the world together has a cost."

After securing the capture of Kaka and the soon to be announced arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Madrid have also been linked with Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter and David Villa from Valencia.
