Florentino Pérez is very clear that the Real Madrid season can only be saved by the Champions League . The president is aware that the semi - final against Bayern in Munich will be the perfect showcase for half the world see that the Real , much as in League and Cup has failed, is still king of the Champions .
And, although it is not at all usual to do so, the president has been in contact with Zinedine Zidane in these previous days and has sent a notice / requirement. " Play ", he said to the coach.
Who does Florentino speak of ? How Isco Alarcón ? No. It refers to Gareth Bale. While it is true that the president is very clear that the Welshman should not be a starter, he does want Zizou to give him minutes during the tie.
Florentino Pérez wants Gareth Bale on the pitch
Perez knows that the situation with the end is slipping from his hands. The mess they have in Madrid with Bale is the fat ones, but facing the gallery should continue to give the impression that Gareth is important.
Hence, Florentino has 'encouraged' Zizou that, if things look good, goal Cardiff in the second half. In this way, if Bale plays minutes and performs at a good level, it will give the feeling that the problem is much smaller than it really is and that the player is still a heavyweight.
Gareth Bale is plummeting
And it is no secret that all these substitutions and messes with the Welsh are causing their market cache plummet, something that is alarming, and much, the club.
The truth is that the intention of Madrid is to get rid of it in summer, but does not want to give it away. Florentino paid 100 million for him a few years ago and wants to see the investment recovered. But for this the player must have media impact and there is no better scenario for that than the Champions League .
Taking into account that the offers that are arriving by Bale do not pass in any case of the 60 million euros, Florentino is getting nervous thinking about the failure that would be to sell it so 'cheap'. If Gareth plays, even in the second half, or as a starter in the round if in the first leg was already sentenced, better for Madrid .
We will see if Zidane , who is not very fond of obeying the pleas of anyone, heeds his president or follows his own and poses the eliminator his way. At the moment, it has not done anything wrong ignoring this type of suggestions.
