at Rafael Benitez’s dismissal, but has promised the
Welshman he has his full support.
Benitez was sacked as Real Madrid manager on Monday
with former France international Zidane taking his place.
It’s led to reports in England that Bale is re-considering his
future in the Spanish capital, with Manchester United
prepared to pay £75 million to bring him back to the Premier
League.
However, Zidane, speaking at his first press conference as
Los Blancos manager on Tuesday, says Bale has his
backing.
“I understand Gareth might be upset with Rafa leaving,” the
43-year-old admitted, “but he will get same affection and
support from me as from Rafa.”
“He is an important player and a key player for the squad -
he’s phenomenal and we’re going to give him all the care
and support he needs.”
Zidane also confirmed that none of Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo
or Karim Benzema need to fear for their places in the team.
“Yes, I will play with all three. Clearly that’s the idea,” he
responded when asked if he would persist with the front
three which failed to keep Benitez in a job.
