Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has not changed his thoughts about his players Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez since the UEFA Champions League final that crowned him in Cardiff three years ago.
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" said that Zidane had not changed his position towards them one atom since then, noting that the French coach said that he could not rely on them and that they should not be in the Real Madrid dressing room.
She added that Bill and Rodriguez might be the only ones that Zidane spoke about negatively in a press conference, but rather in an uncharacteristic way from the always calm coach, when he said last summer during a press conference during the preparation period, "If Bell leaves (Real Madrid) tomorrow, it will be better." .
The coach tried to get rid of Rodriguez by transferring him to another club in July 2017 when he was seconded to Bayern Munich for two years with the option to buy, but the German League champion eventually returned him because he was not playing regularly with the first team.
Despite Rodriguez's exit from Zidane's accounts, when he returned in the summer of 2019, the coach estimated the player's attitude towards the royal and his diligence by engaging him about 700 minutes, but he could not change his view of him, so the end result was his sale of the upcoming transfers.
"Marca" said that the positive thing for Zidan that the ongoing crisis with these two players had no effect on their teammates, who focused entirely on their goals and recently achieved eight consecutive victories that put them on the threshold of crowning the League title.
