Zidane claims Bale 'didn't want to play' as Real Madrid transfer drama continues

The manager has denied disrespecting the winger and says the player declined to play last weekend

Zinedine Zidane insists he did not disrespect Gareth Bale when he said it would be good if he left Real Madrid sooner rather than later.
Zidane caused a stir when he stated last weekend that he hoped Wales star Bale would leave the La Liga club soon, adding: "It would be best for everyone."
Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, branded the Madrid head coach "a disgrace" for his remarks, as talk of an imminent move to the Chinese Super League gathered pace.
