Zinedine Zidane has two very clear things : that he would not like Gareth Bale to be in the squad and that, since he is in the squad, he will try, as is his obligation, to take full advantage of it . So, in the week in which the Welshman has been most marked by the happy joke of the banner (Wales, golf, Madrid, in that order) , his coach has put out his face for him.
"I think a lot of noise is made with Bale's gesture and what needs to be done is to focus on football. I as a coach and he as a player. I only look at sports performance, not what is said outside. I am not interested in what from outside, "the Frenchman began, uncomfortable with this issue.
Before the second question, a sharp phrase. "I will not answer any more questions about Gareth. When you look at what Gareth has done this time ... people have to be with him. People who feel the colors of Madrid have to be with Bale, " said Zidane, who have also been asked if he is calmer now that Mourinho already has a team.
"I am the same, I am not calmer. I think the relationship with the president is good. Florentino has brought me as a player, so I will always be grateful." Of course, Bale has reappeared. Why is Welsh more comfortable with your selection than here? "Maybe because of the language he is more at ease. Anyway, when he scored the goal of the Champions League final I saw him very happy.
Despite his intention not to answer more things about the Welshman, Zidane had no other choice when asked if Bale had disrespected Madrid. "I will not go into that. It is not my competition . I am coach of Real Madrid and Bale is my player."
