And Zidane says Bale isn't good enough?

Mon Jul 22, 2019 8:21 am

And Zidane says Bale isn't good enough? The sooner Bale leaves the better in my opinion. He needs to be playing games as his performances for Wales are being badly affected.

Zidane is a joke then isnt he.
What has bale done so wrong for him to out him for so long .
Judging by those stats he ain't done much wrong has he.
Bale needs to move on never no zidane might head but him or something.
The mans an idiot manager is supposed to get the best out of players not the other way around.
Wierd

Bale is a forward Zidane was a midfielder.

As shit as Bale has been treated you can’t compare their stats as he is talking about now and to be fair Zidane is playing to the fans who dislike Bale.

Imagine we had a foreign player who didn’t integrate with the squad and didn’t learn English. We would be slating him to high heaven.

and that can be seen in the goals scored.

What is noticeable is the like for like assists. As a central playmaking midfielder Zidane should have many more assists.

Like him or hate him, Zidane could certainly play.

Bale played alongside Ronaldo for every year apart from last year.

But my other point stands about integrating with the team.

Bale is an easy scapegoat due to the fans’ (ridiculous) lack of love for him. He’s easy to get rid of. Zidane is doing it for his popularity.

Zidane was an attacking midfielder also Bale knows how to speak Spanish, dont be gullible and believe every rumour you see on the internet, and whats wrong with not wanting to go out at a stupid time to eat?

An attacking midfielder who has an excellent assist and scoring record for an attacking midfielder.

Nothing wrong with it if you don’t want to get on with your team mates or ingratiate to the fans. I love Bale but he’s in Spain it’s what the Spanish do. How do you know he has learnt Spanish? Have you heard him speak it?

Why should you be forced to do something you dont want to, you can get on with players without having to stay out until 1-2am and yes i have heard him speak it there's a video of him on youtube speaking spanish, a quick google search would svae you some embarrassment

All about building a team ethic which Bale isn’t buying into.

Please find me a link to a video of Bale speaking Spanish.

You could have easily found it yourself, this was 3 years ago, some people just don't have the cognitive ability to learn new languages, he has at least made an effort to learn some

He has made an effort to learn some but has had long enough there to be fluent.

He rarely if ever does press in Spanish.

My point still stands if he was a Cardiff player and didn’t engage with the other players or didn’t take the effort to learn English we would have fans in a similar vein as the Madrid fans.

Quote from Odriozola

But Odriozola believes that shyness rather than a lack of understanding is what holds Bale back.

"He looks good to me. Against Celta he played a great game. He worked hard, he is very motivated," he explained to La Galerna.

"He knows Spanish perfectly, the thing is that he is too shy to use it, which seems normal to me"

I don’t feel I was at all. I love Bale I would take him at the City any day. I can’t believe more prem teams aren’t looking at him closer.

It could be something to do with £600k a week for someone who is out for half the games injured ;)

Re: And Zidane says Bale isn't good enough?

Mon Jul 22, 2019 5:17 pm

It’s weird we have a thread like this defending him after all the shit players like Madine and Tomlin get for being wastes of money.

If we had a player who was ALWAYS injured and on 600k a week some of your heads would explode.

If he wasn’t the hometown boy you’d all be cursing him.

Re: And Zidane says Bale isn't good enough?

Mon Jul 22, 2019 5:25 pm

Think Zidane is right overpayed, always injured and can't be arsed to learn their language if he wernt Welsh alot of people would back Zidane.

He was a great player yrs, but obviously has no skill when trying to get rid of bale,and his record at the same club(real madrid) pales into the shadows,same games played almost,half the amount of goals,almost identical record on assists,and half the trophies won,can't see his stint lasting imo :thumbup: feck him gareth,make them pay up you're contract,or if true,take the 1m a week on offer in china :laughing5: :old: :bluebird:

The deals they were talking about (loan) was very little risk for quality of player.

Re: And Zidane says Bale isn't good enough?

Mon Jul 22, 2019 8:18 pm

Hes averaged 38 games a season at real madrid not too bad i thought, especially when some managers just haven't picked him

Re: And Zidane says Bale isn't good enough?

Mon Jul 22, 2019 11:45 pm

Zidane will be lucky to last the season as Barca should piss the league again. Bale's goals to games ratio is superb as is his ability to score in the matches that count. They would be better sending him on loan as the next manager might well want him in his squad.

As for learning Spanish, it's obvious from this thread who the morons are on here, he has had a Spanish teacher ever since he's been over there and has found it difficult to pick up the language. He has found it difficult particularly in the dressing room to have conversations with the other players. That's not his fault, its the language barrier. Not everyone can pick up languages.

I've always thought that Zidane was a bit of a prick as a player and it looks like that has carried over as a manager. To say that Bale isn't good enough with everything he's done for Madrid is a complete insult. Bale needs to get out of there ASAP as I can see the tw*t using Bale as a scapegoat if things go wrong this season.

Can't see him being able to,if he doesn't play him :?: but I alluded to the same on another topic,sit it out,or go on loan,zidane won't be there long, before they turn on him (fans and chairman) Bales record at real makes his look ordinary, he has carried this grudge from his last stint against bale,loved him as a player to be fair, but seems a bit of a tool,as a person :| :old: :bluebird:
