The relationship between Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and Gareth Bale is fast improving as he still believes in the latter’s potential.
Zidane says he is improving though he believes he has yet to become the Bale that he is.
AFP reports that the coach has challenged himto show why he is still one of the world’s best players as he continues his reintegration at Real Madrid.
“What has changed is that the player is going to stay, nothing more,” Zidane said in a press conference on Friday, ahead of Saturday’s game at home to Real Valladolid.

“The important thing is the player wants to stay. It’s true that a lot was said about him, by me as well, but he is going to stay.
“He is a great player, he has shown that before and he has to show it again. He has to be the player we know that he is.”
It adds that Bale, 30, was a surprise inclusion in the starting line-up against Celta Vigo last weekend, when Madrid opened with an impressive 3-1 win in La Liga and Bale was arguably man of the match.
