A stay-at-home Cristiano Ronaldo
Posted Saturday, May 06, 2017 by Marca.com
Zinedine Zidane's rotation policy has meant that Cristiano Ronaldo has reached the end of the season in impeccable form and fitness, as the Portuguese star hasn't played an away match in LaLiga since the trip to the Estadio San Mames almost two months ago.
'El Bicho' (the bug) is at home at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, his habitat, where has has turned the stadium's inexplicable jeers into complete awe.
There is even a chance the Portuguese star could miss the match against already relegated Granada on the weekend at Estadio Los Carmenes, so strict is the French coach's policy.
Since March 18th, Cristiano Ronaldo has played in four league matches, all at home.
Not present at Estadio Butarque, Estadio El Sadar, and Estadio Riazor, that rest has gone a long way in boosting his Champions League heroics.
The strategy, then, seems to be working: nine goals in his last five games.
As he has struggled for fitness this year with injuries, it has only been 10 away trips for Cristiano Ronaldo and that doesn't look set to change until LaLiga's final weeks.
