G. Bale: Changing Coaches Gives Me the Same Freedom of Action

Madrid "Real" forward Gareth Bale says that after the change of the team's coach, he has the same freedom of action as when playing under the previous manager Rafael Benitez.

In Zinedine Zidane's first matches as the coach, Bale scored three goals, and "Real" won 5-0.

After Benitez's dismissal, there were reports that Bale was unhappy with the decision, so now the player decided to speak on this issue.

"Everyone knows what kind of player Zidane was and there is no doubt that he will be a good coach. I have the same freedom of action now that I had under Benitez. I am happy that I scored three goals, but the most important thing is the three points we earned," Bale said after the match.

Despite the 5-0 victory against "Deportivo", "Real" remained in third place in the league table.
