Ronaldo called Real Madrid boss Zidane after Levante draw: We need to rethink this...

Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane immediately after their 1-1 draw with Levante.

Ronaldo was missing due to suspension as Real drew a second consecutive game at home.

The Portugal international's message to Zidane, says Don Balon, was that they'd have to rethink their rotation plans this season.

Ronaldo had agreed with Zidane to take part in his rotations more this term. However, with Real struggling for goals, Ronaldo believes he'll need to play more in order to carry the burden.

And after yesterday's 1-1 draw, Zidane recognises he'll have to call on Ronaldo more than he planned.
