He benched Bale. Dont make stuff up now. He did start bale but he lost his spot even over Lucas and Vini. He benched him in the Derby that we won at Wanda.
I don't know why you are quoting me because I did not say that in any way. In my view, there is clearly a commitment and intensity problem involved. Under all 3 coaches, we lost to teams with less talent than us but they worked harder, ran more, and played with higher intensity. At this point, the only way to change that is through changing personnel. So let's begin that. If your goal is to vindicate Julen and Santi, then have it if you want. But the past is the past. Zidane is the future so we should hope he accomplishes what possibly no one else could and that is give Flo a list of demands.
Zidane won us 3 champions leagues in a row & our first league title since Mou was around. Imagine being such a prisoner of moment you completely dismiss him for coming in the last month of a horrible year. Such low level thinking & logic. I give Zidane all of next year before I say he is the right guy for this project or not.
Bale should have started or at least played in what will be most likely his last game. Zidane is a fool in this moment , he should have allowed bale to get the send off he deserved. Now it’s left as a bitter sweet moment
Yeah no matter what anyone thinks of Bale, he deserved a proper send off. The club won 4 cls since he’s been at rm and he was key for la Decima, and last year’s final
No you are the one that is wrong. Zizou is bitter even though bale was the one who won the cl final last season. I get that fans don’t like him but he was an important member in one of the most successful spells in the club’s history. Are you telling me that Vinicius jr, Diaz, Vazquez and Asensio are better than bale? Have those guys combined even scored as many as bale this season?
I get the whole "We're trying to convince Bale to leave" agenda. But it's extremely unfair to not allow Gareth Bale to say goodbye on his farewell game. Especially since he's responsible for winning Zidane multiple Champion's leagues as a manager and assistant manager. In fact, probably more responsible for those finals wins than CR7 himself. So I think it's cruel. He's old news, he's gonna be gone. But no need to not even give him a chance to wave goodbye. He even gave that courtesy to James Rodriguez.
Bale had the chance to say goodbye at the end of the game. He went to the dressing room. Bale, this season, has been one of the most unprofessional players I've seen play at this club.
Especially when the game didn’t mean anything, 3rd place was already secured. This should have been a game to say goodbye to particular players like navas and bale and possibly Modric and Kroos if they are leaving and thank them for their service to the club.
It was unfair for Bale's agent to shit on the Bernabeu. It was unfair for Bale to abandon his teammates multiple times and be flippant toward authority. It was unfair for Bale to circumvent the power the manager has by going over his head to the President to cull him into submission. Fcuk out of here with unfairness to Bale. It was bitter by Zidane and I wish he hadn't done that but Bale got what he's asked for.
If Bale was interested in anything the fans had to say, he could have done so at the end of the game with the rest of the team. Instead, he proved Zidane right and headed to the dressing room.
If I was in bale’s position I’d be pretty pissed too, he should have played even if for about 10 minutes at the end as a sub. The club are rightly being ridiculed on social media for not giving bale a send off. This game didn’t mean anything. He’s been poor this season but as I said above , have Vinicius, Asensio, Isco, Vazquez and Diaz combined even scored as many as bale? If he was getting dropped for prime cr7, prime Di Maria, prime Ozil etc then Bale could have no complains but the players listed above haven’t been better than bale this season
Because players less than 5x of bale’s ability are starting instead of him. It’s not just the fans in the crowd, what about the crowd watching on the television. Even James got a send off
Yes they did. They didn't combine for the Bale accomplishment of leaving the game early and driving home multiple times.
Iker Casillas didn't get a sending off. A much bigger Madrid legend than Bale will ever be. Life goes on.
The fans who trashed his car and sent horrible threats to him? Even if not for the fans, Bale should have had an opportunity to play at the bernabeu for the last time
A joke with 13 CL that have you crying about Gareth Bale not getting to play a second in his last home game. Lol I'm beginning to enjoy this now. I remember the arrogance you guys showed saying he would never leave. Now you're crying about him not getting a chance to say goodbye like there was a force field around the pitch that allowed Navas to come on and get a reception but blocked Bale.
Well he has even less claim to anything because for all that 5x better than other players he was a complete non-factor this season. His agent decided to be an ass and Bale did himself no favors with his behavior. I don't think anyone should lose sleep over this.
Why is it a bad thing to allow bale to have a send off? Bale is a reason why Zidane won champions leagues as a an assistant and main manager. This game didn’t mean anything. Zizou not playing bale is because of him being petty and there was no need to say what he did after the game about if he had 4 substitutes.
For doing nothing this season, he still did far more than this players listed above, players who would be very lucky to end up as good as Bale. I don’t have a problem with bale leaving as it’s probably best for everyone if he left now but he should have had a send off.
Key Did you just compare Manager winning 3 CL's in the row with single player on the team winning it? Dude no one is arguing that team plays like shit, but who else in your opinion is better to right this ship? Guy who has proven record with us or some random dude, that you think will do good? Maybe Zidande will fail next year, who knows, but sure as hell he should not be judge by this years team performance.
