Zinedine Zidane believes Cristiano Ronaldo will be more relaxed now after his day at the court to answer to cases of tax fraud and can return to playing football. Ronaldo gave evidence for 90 minutes in front of judge Monica Gomez Ferrer in Madrid on Monday. Spain tax agency are suing Ronaldo for a €14.7 million tax fraud as they bid to prove to him they are not La Liga defenders and goalkeepers.
“If he had spoken there would have been stories going around too,” Zidane responded. “But the important thing is what he said to me. He has been enjoying his holidays. Now that [July] 31 has passed, he is more relaxed. He will be with us on [Aug.] 5.
“I have not spoken directly with him [since the hearing]. I don’t think these things affect him. He is happy now as it is past. It was good news for him to be able to give evidence, and now return to football. He wants to play football, be with us, and not talk any more about this.”
Ronaldo has issued a statement in which he strongly refuted the case brought by prosecutors at Spain’s tax agency who maintain that he has committed a €14.7 million tax fraud.
