Africa Top Sports.com, Gareth Bale is set to play his first match for Real Madrid in the Spanish championship. The Welsh forward, who comes with a hefty price tag of 100 million euros, has already started training with his new club.
Zinédine Zidane, the newly appointed deputy sports director at Real Madrid, is actively involved on the pitch, showcasing his skills and enjoying himself alongside the two stars, including Bale. Zidane, dressed in blue, demonstrates that he hasn’t lost any of his footballing technique.
Zidane addressed his previous comments about Bale, stating, “My comments were misinterpreted. When I said that he was a player who cost a lot of money – and Bale cost a lot of money, even the president Florentino Perez said it – I was referring to the strong pressure that exists for this player. At least, that’s what happened to me. I believe that the signing of Bale is very important for Real Madrid. He was the best player in the Premier League for two seasons, and he will bring us a lot (…) From the start, I encouraged the president to make an effort to recruit him because he will bring us enormously.”
The video capturing Zidane’s interaction with the players is generating buzz in the football world.
