Cristiano Ronaldo must reinvent himself if he wants to prolong his Real Madrid career, according to Sky Sports La Liga Weekly podcast. The forward, who turns 32 in February, was recently substituted for tactical reasons for the first time in his seven years at the Santiago Bernabeu in Reals 2-2 draw at Las Palmas. Ronaldo shows his displeasure after being substituted by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane at Las Palmas However, while Real head coach Zinedine Zidane was criticised in some quarters of the Spanish press for the move, with Ronaldo himself visibly unhappy with the decision, Sky Sports Spanish football commentator Rob Palmer thinks the Frenchman made the right call. Ronaldo turns 32 in February and he is now at the veteran stage of his career, but the problem is he has not quite accepted that now, Palmer told this weeks La Liga Weekly podcast.He still thinks he is a young man and he parades himself round the field and that does not help him. Ronaldo scored four goals including a perfect hat-trick as Portugal annihilated Andorra 6-0 in Match Day 2 of the World Cup qualifiers When he gets to the point where he accepts that he is no longer the great Cristiano Ronaldo when he was 27, 28 and scoring 55 goals a season and has to slightly reinvent himself, like Lionel Messi is having to do at the moment, then he will maybe become more acceptable to the general public.

You would have to say though that as a manager, he would be your problem in the changing room because you would still want to get the best out of him, massage his ego and you would want Cristiano Ronaldo in your team.But I thought it was great management by Zinedine Zidane the other week to bring him off as he was not being effective in that game. It would be foolish to get rid of him when he is 31, 32. He is not at the peak of his powers, but he is not past it yet either. Rob Palmer, Sky Sports Spanish football commentator And when you looked around the players and thought: Who should I bring off who is not having an impact on this game and who will raise the game of everybody else? and he brought Ronaldo off.If you can bring Ronaldo off, then that gets everybody elses backs up, as if he is going to go for the first time, and it was the first time he had been taken off tactically, then this manager actually means the business.So I thought it was great management by Zidane, even though he got hammered in the Spanish press for it at the time. Cristiano Ronaldo was far from impressed after being substituted for Real Madrid at Las Palmas If Ronaldo wants to maintain his career in the Spanish capital, though, the Portugal international - whose current deal at Real runs until the summer of 2018 - must copy the likes of Barcelona duo Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta and change his game, Palmer thinks.It is how Cristiano Ronaldo reinvents himself - he keeps coming out with: I am going to play until I am 40, I am still a great player. So he just needs to look in the mirror really, he said.But he can still be an effective player till he is 35, 36 if he reinvents himself as Xavi [Hernandez] did, as Iniesta is currently doing, as Messi has done as well.But he has been injured and maybe he came back a little bit early and maybe Real Madrid are guilty of playing him before he is ready. Once he is back in the changing room, he is on the pitch as they want him to play. Zidane (right) may need to start managing Ronaldos time on the pitch to prolong his career at the Santiago Bernabeu Equally, however, if Ronaldo is to keep playing at the highest level until the end of Real contract, then Palmer believes Zidane will need to keep managing his star mans game time going forward.He has always played the full 90 minutes when he is fit, so maybe he has to be managed a bit more and Zidane has to be that man who goes head-to-head with him, he added.But it would be foolish to get rid of him when he is 31, 32. He is not at the peak of his powers, but he is not past it yet either.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

PINEHURST, N.C. -- Michelle Wie is becoming a regular contender in major championships, only now as an adult. She captivated womens golf as a teenager, contending in three straight LPGA Tour majors when she was 16. That was when she still was trying to compete against the men, when she didnt always look as if she was having fun and before injuries and criticism were a big part of her growing pains. On another tough day at Pinehurst No. 2, the 24-year-old from Hawaii held it together Friday with two key par putts and finished with back-to-back birdies for a 2-under 68, giving her a three-shot lead going into the weekend at the U.S. Womens Open. "I think you look at the way Michelle has played the last six months and you look at her differently," said Stacy Lewis, the No. 1 player in womens golf who was four shots out of the lead. "I think shes become one of the best ball-strikers on tour. She hits it really consistent. She knows where the balls going. And shes figuring out how to win. Thats the big thing." But theres a familiar name, and another teen prodigy, who joined Wie as the only players still under par. Lexi Thompson, who soundly beat Wie in the final round to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship for her first major title, powered her way out of the sand and weeds, running off three straight birdies to match Wies 68, the low score Friday. For all the interest in the men and women playing Pinehurst No. 2 in successive weeks, Wie and Thompson made the Womens Open more closely resemble the first LPGA major. Is it too early to start thinking rematch? "Definitely too early," Thompson said with a laugh. "Thirty-six holes in a major, thats a lot of golf to be played, especially at a U.S. Womens Open." For now, Wie had control. Her three-shot lead is the largest through 36 holes in the Womens Open in 11 years. She twice thought her shots were going off the turtleback greens, and twice she relied on her table-top putting stance to make long par saves. She finished with a 6-iron that set up a 12-foot birdie putt, and a 15-foot birdie on the par-5 ninth to reach 4-under 136. "End of the day yesterday, I was thinking if I just did this again, that would be nice," Wie said. "Finishing with two birdies is always great. Its a grind out there. Its not easy. Really grateful for the par putts that I made and some of the birdie putts that I made. I cant complain. Ill take it." Just when it looked as if this had the trappings of another runaway -- Martin Kaymer led by at least four shots over the final 48 holes to win the U.S. Open -- along came Thompson with a shot reminiscent of what Kaymerr did last week.dddddddddddd From the sand and bushes left of the fairway on the par-5 fifth hole, Thompson blasted a 5-iron from 195 yards just off the green, setting up two putts for birdie from about 60 feet. Kaymer was in roughly the same spot in the third round when he hit 7-iron from 202 yards to 5 feet, that pin position more toward the front. That was her third straight birdie, and she closed with four pars to reach 139. Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., and Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., each shot 73 to finish the second round in a tie for 14th place. Pinehurst No. 2 wasnt in much of a giving mood on another warm day in the North Carolina sandhills, with a brief shower in the middle of the afternoon that didnt do much to soften a dry, crusty golf course. Lewis, who opened with a bogey-free 67, picked up a bogey on her first hole in a wild round of six bogeys, three birdies and a tough 73. Even so, the two-time major champion managed to see the big picture. "I hung around, and thats what youve got to do at this tournament," said Lewis, at even-par with Amy Yang (69) and Minjee Lee, the 18-year-old amateur from Australia who played bogey-free on the back nine to salvage a 71. Lucy Li, the precocious 11-year-old and youngest qualifier in the history of the U.S. Womens Open, isnt leaving town until Monday. She just wont be playing any more golf. The sixth-grader from the Bay Area started with a double bogey for the second straight day and shot another 78 to miss the cut by seven shots. The cut was 9-over 149. Na Yeon Choi had a 70 and was at 1-over 141, followed by a Paula Creamer (72) at 2-over 142. The group at 143 included Karrie Webb (73) and So Yeon Ryu (74), who saved her hopes with three straight birdies on the front nine, and narrowly missing a fourth. All of them are former Womens Open champions. This is a different Wie they are chasing. She already has won this year in Hawaii, and she has eight top 10s and is No. 2 on the LPGA money list. Attribute that to a putting stroke that she owns, no matter how peculiar it looks with her back bent severely, almost parallel to the ground. And she has learned to play the shot -- she has a full allotment -- instead of worrying about her score or her position on the leaderboard. "I knew I could get better," Wie said. "I knew I could improve. But thats the game of golf. I think thats whats so fun about it. You work hard, you work hard, its a challenging game. You can never quite perfect it. I love working on my game. I love working on different shots. Just trying to get better every day. I never really lost a sense of determination or drive."
