Real Madrid coach plays down Ronaldo bust-up

Real Madrid coach Mariano Garcia Remon has denied a bust-up with star striker Ronaldo.

The Brazilian was visibly upset over being substituted against Valencia on Saturday night, but Garcia Remon insists: "We've talked about it in the dressing room."

"But its normal that he is upset about being substituted."

"I thought he was tired because he had been putting in some exceptional work during the game. In addition, we asked that he also defended when we didn't have the ball."

"Hopefully he'll understand this."
