Perhaps they won't boo him anymore - Zidane backs Ronaldo

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane believes
Cristiano Ronaldo's performance against Bayern
Munich could be enough to silence the fans' boos.
Ronaldo was jeered before inspiring Madrid to a
4-2 extra-time win and 6-3 aggregate success,
sending them into the Champions League semi-
finals.
The Portuguese star struck a hat-trick, including
two goals in extra time, at the Santiago Bernabeu
on Tuesday.
Zidane said that could be enough to silence
Ronaldo's critics in Madrid, as he made it five
goals across two legs against Bayern.
"Perhaps they won't boo him anymore. This is the
Bernabeu and these things can happen from time
to time," he said.
"He's relaxed because he shows just what he can
do out on the pitch. What he's got is something
that few players have. In the key games, he's
always there.
"He scored three goals and the fans will be grateful
for what Cristiano has done.
"A player who is out there on the field, with that
tension, it's normal. The fans are not going to
question him, these things happen and that's it.
You have to take the positives.
"The fans have been important in helping the team.
He provides his answers out on the pitch and he
has scored five goals in two games."
Another night to remember. Amazing win!!

However, there was plenty of controversy
throughout the second leg, with both of Ronaldo's
extra-time goals appearing to be offside.
Bayern also had midfielder Arturo Vidal harshly
sent off in regulation time, but Zidane dismissed
any talk his team were lucky.
He said: "For me there is no luck in football, we
won both games and we went through."
