Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has spoken to Cristiano Ronaldo about his on-field antics.

Don Balon says, however, Ronaldo has ignored Zidane's requests that he wind back his angry reactions toward teammates.

The Portuguese will miss Real Madrid La Liga away game to inform Real Sociedad on Sunday, September 17.

Ronaldo's flailing arms and head shaking whenever a teammate fails to pass to him and loses possession is gnawing away at many inside the locker room and with Zidane.

The Frenchman spoke to the Portuguese about his actions, urging him to tone it down, but Ronaldo has refused.

There are also concerns amongst Zidane's staff with Ronaldo's diving, with the feeling it could work against them with match officials later in the season.
