Has zidane been told by the higher ups not to pick bale and drive him out. He said today that if he had a 4th sub he still would have not brought on bale. He said he doesn't fit in to his team.
It's quite incredible how far Zidane is going to force Bale out of the club. Treating him this badly in the press is as likely to cause Bale to stick two fingers up at them and stay to wind down his contract as it is to make him want to leave.
They were saying on the Football Weekly podcast that this Zidane quote is complete nonsense started by some shit stirring journo mistranslating him. Apparently in Spanish he said something along the lines of "I don't get why this is even a story. It's not like I had a 4th substitute and still didn't bring him on. If that were the case then I could understand the outrage." and then this journo has translated that as "I wouldn't have brought him on even if I'd had a 4th substitute to choose from!" which is obviously a completely different thing altogether.
