Bale is an Important Player I will Rely On – Zidane

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is ready to put his faith and Energy in Gareth Bale as he looks set to stay at the Bernabeu.

Bale looked to be leaving Real Madrid this summer, but Zidane will now involve the Welshman

The forward was exempted from Zidane’s squad for pre-season friendly with RB Salzburg, having already missed the club’s trip to Germany for the Audi Cup.

This came after the collapse of Bale’s arranged transfer to Chinese club Jiangsu Suning in the middle of a widespread speculation that his six-year stay in Spain was about to end.

Gareth Bale reportedly skipped the trip to Germany, where the Spanish giants faced Tottenham and Fenerbahce, as he wasn’t happy with the treatment at the hands of Zidane and president Florentino Perez as he concluded that he was not in the right frame to be in the squad.

But tables seem to have turned as Zidane has got a different but a positive perception about Bale. He said in a press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s opening LaLiga match against Celta Vigo:

“It seemed that (Bale) was going to leave but today he is here with us”

“The dynamics are changing, things are changing. From now on, I will rely on him, as on others.

“I will rely on all the players who are here. He has his place, he is an important player and I hope that all the players will make the task of choosing a team difficult.” He said.
