Varane: France controlled Ronaldo well

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Raphael Varane was a proud man after playing his part in the containment of Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo in France 's 2-1 victory over Portugal on Saturday. Few know better than Varane how devastating the in-form attacker can be, having trained and played alongside him since joining los Blancos from Lens in 2011. Consequently, Varane was delighted that he and Eliaquim Mangala combined to keep the Ballon d'Or holder relatively quiet before the Seleccao skipper was withdrawn after 75 minutes. "We controlled Cristiano Ronaldo well," the France centre-half told reporters after the game. "We all know his fantastic ability and the fact he didn't score is good for us. "I have known Eliaquim Mangala for quite some time and we understand each other well. We succeeded in being solid at the back."
