Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has thrown his full support behind Gareth Bale, who had previously been under heavy scrutiny from both fans and the media. In the latest La Liga clash against Alavés, Zidane made it clear that Bale performed admirably despite being deployed in an unfamiliar role. His performance did not go unnoticed by fans using the Melbet App, who were quick to highlight his work rate and adaptability on the left flank.

When asked whether the iconic BBC trio — Bale, Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo — had once again become indispensable to the team, Zidane responded with a more team-focused outlook. “I’m not going to answer that directly,” he said. “What’s important is that every player is ready to contribute. I mean everyone. The BBC have always been excellent, but I need all my players at 100 percent.” Zidane also praised Lucas Vázquez, saying his contribution in the attacking third was equally outstanding, especially in the current 4-4-2 formation.

Bale’s role on the left wing was effective largely because Alexis did not press forward from that side, giving the Welshman more space to operate. Zidane added, “He had to run more in possession, and he didn’t just stick to the flank. He did well.” When asked whether Bale would continue playing on the left, Zidane remained noncommittal, saying, “That’s where I wanted him today, but we’ll see going forward.”

As for Karim Benzema, Zidane acknowledged the striker has been under immense pressure. “But he’s a top-class player, and I’m very happy with his performance.” In the 4-0 win over Alavés, the BBC trio led the charge, each contributing to the resounding victory. After the final whistle, Zidane had nothing but praise for his squad.

The Melbet App community also noted Cristiano Ronaldo’s sportsmanship during the match, when he passed up a penalty kick opportunity and allowed Benzema to take it instead. Zidane said, “We’ll always face challenges, but our players are among the best. For me, what matters most is the atmosphere in the locker room. The team is strong, and Ronaldo’s selflessness on the pitch proved that.”

As Real Madrid continues their campaign, fans tracking the team through the Melbet App are optimistic that the unity and form on display in this match could be a turning point in their season.
