Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane: 'I understand Gareth Bale frustration'

Zidane: 'I understand Bale frustration'

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says that he can understand why Gareth Bale may be frustrated with his current role in the first-team squad.

Boss Zinedine Zidane has said that Gareth Bale can still enjoy many "big moments" with Real Madrid.

Throughout this season, Bale has continually been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular under Zidane.

Bale remained an unused substitute for Real's 3-0 win over Juventus in the Champions League in midweek, and Zidane has suggested that he is understanding of the Welshman's current situation.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "That is normal as players want to play all the games. We know the player he is, what he has done. I must take decisions, but it does not mean Gareth cannot be important in big moments in the future.

"We have another game tomorrow - Gareth is ready, as they all are. Regardless of how the rest of the season goes, Gareth is a Madrid player and my feeling is he will stay here."

Bale has scored 14 goals in 18 starts and nine substitute appearances in all competitions this season.
