Real Madrid chief Zidane: Ribery better than Ronaldo
Zinedine Zidane has again declared Franck Ribery as a better player than Real Madrid's world record signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Zizou, who is part of Real president Florentino Perez's administration, said: "Cristiano and (Lionel) Messi are very good, but for me the best at the moment is Ribery.
"I say this not because Franck is French, but because he is very good ..."
Meanwhile, Zidane hopes Real's new signings can avoid being dubbed Galacticos.
He explained: "Florentino wants the best in the world in his team, but we must not call them Galacticos. I remember when we were named as such, Beckham, Figo, Ronaldo and me and it was very negative.
"It must be said that they are the best and that's it."
