Madrid's "Real" forward Gareth Bale was not included in the team lineup for Friday's UEFA Champions League match, and head coach Z. Zidane confirmed that the player himself expressed a desire not to go to Manchester.
Former "Real" president Ramon Calderon has his opinion on the situation. "It's very sad to see such a player as G. Bale in the stands. I believe his talent and skill have not disappeared anywhere, he is still a great footballer who could play at the highest level in any team in the world. I think they need to find a solution to end the suffering for both sides," said R. Calderon.
It is reported that G. Bale himself seeks to stay in the "Real" ranks, where he will earn 60 million pounds sterling, because the club blocked his move to China last year.
