Real Madrid Chief Worried About Cristiano Ronaldo
Mar 2, 2017 at 5:43 PM
Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez is reportedly worried about Cristiano Ronaldo despite his brace in their 3-3 draw with Las Palmas.
Ronaldo scored twice late on to rescue a draw for the La Liga leaders.
Madrid had fallen 3-1 down after Gareth Bale’s red card but they staged a dramatic comeback to secure a point.
Ronaldo earned the plaudits after hauling them level with goals in the 86th and 89th minute.
However, Diario Gol claim Perez was concerned by his overall performance.
It is claimed the Madrid president has told close friends in recent weeks he believes the 32-year-old could be past his best.
Besides his goals, Ronaldo cut a subdued figure against Las Palmas and struggled to make much of an impact until the closing stages.
He remains a far cry from his usual self and Perez is concerned his struggles could derail Madrid’s attempts to win a first La Liga title since 2012.
The Madrid chief was also unimpressed with the performances of Keylor Navas and Sergio Ramos.
Navas, who is expected to leave at the end of the season, should have done better with two of Las Palmas’ goals.
And Ramos also endured a difficult evening – and was mocked by Sporting midfielder Tana after his goal in the 10th minute.
