Real Madrid boss Zidane: Ramos deserves Olympics chance - I wish I had

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane insists Sergio Ramos will have his support if he wants to go to the Olympics.

Ramos could play for Spain in Japan as an overage player.

Zidane said, "Of course. If he wants to, I'll support him. It's a beautiful thing to play for your country, and with the type of player he is and all he's achieved, it's fantastic that he wants to go and play for his nation. We talk about the World Cup and the Euros, but the Olympic Games are all sports coming together and it's an amazing experience.

"I've spoken to players who have been and they talk about how wonderful it as, so I understand why a player, at 34 years of age, would like to go to the Olympic Games. I would have liked to go as well, but it's a bit late for me."
