He was the best player during his days as a player and one of the greatest footballers of all time.
Now as a coach at Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane is teaching his players how to do it better on the pitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been having troubles with free-kicks this season.
Zinedine Zidane engaged Cristiano Ronaldo in a free-kick challenge
The three time Ballon d'Or winner has failed to score directly from a free-kick in La Liga this season, with his one and only dead-ball goal coming in Madrid's 8-0 annihilation of Malmo in the Champions League group stage.
Zidane is however helping him with getting his free-kick groove back.
According to Spanish website SportYou, Ronaldo was practicing free-kicks during Zidane walked over and said jokingly "watch and learn how to take a free-kick"
The
report had it that Zidane further challenged the Ronaldo to a 10
free-kick challenge and the coach scored most of his attempts but
Ronaldo only managed two successful efforts.
Ronaldo took his defeat to his coach in good faith offering to give Zidane a piggyback.
Zidane recently reiterated that Ronaldo will continue to take free-kicks despite the forward's poor record this season.
"[Ronaldo] will play out wide, but he will have freedom in his movements," Zidane said.
"And of course, he will keep taking our free-kicks."
