Gareth Bale, a headache for Zinedine Zidane

Welsh winger Gareth Bale has become a headache for Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid. And that's as much in the press room as on the pitch. Zidane can decide if he plays Bale in matches but he can't avoid being asked about him in press conferences. And that's when he seems nervous.

Zidane spoke about Bale ahead of Madrid's game against Eibar on Saturday.

"Bale is not a problem. I spoke with him and he knows where he is and that the others are important too. There is no problem. You want to look for one, but there isn't one. Every three days I pick a team and Gareth is important but the rest of them are too. Nothing else.

"Bale doesn't lack anything, it's just that there's a lot of players and a lot of games. With Gareth I have nothing against him, he's a fundamental player for us, very important and he will be until the end of the season, like the rest. I simply pick a team every three days."
