The friction between Gareth Bale and Zinedine Zidane is one episode richer. At the La-Liga restart the two clashed again.
The eternal feud between Gareth Bale and coach Zinedine Zidane is likely to continue after the Corona break.
The 30-year-old was once again not in the starting line-up for the La Liga restart at the weekend and, after his substitution in the second half, seemed as listless as he was uncreative. During the cooling-off period, Zidane took the Welshman aside and found a few clear words for his performance.
Bale with thin yield
Since Zidane Real Madrid have been training for the second time, the two have clashed again and again. Already last summer, there were fierce clashes between the coach and the attacker, who has been playing for the royals since 2013 and has scored 105 goals in 250 competitive matches.
These heated up the transfer rumours more and more, but the Welshman is still loyal to the Madrileneans, but he withdrew into the sulking corner. His only two goals of the season from 28 appearances date from the first weekend of September, a brace against Villarreal FC.
Ball consultant Jonathan Barnett claims, “Gareth is happy in Madrid and has no plans to change clubs in the near future. This is probably not due to the endowment of his contract until 2022, but it is questionable whether Zidane and Bale will get their act together again by then.
