Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has reaffirmed plans for Gareth Bale to stay.

After spending much of the summer encouraging Bale to leave - both privately and publicly - Zidane has now accepted he must work with the Welshman this season.

And he said today: "He played a good game (against Celta Vigo), not only in what we know is good, but also in defence. They will all be important. And I will have everyone.

"What has changed is that Gareth is going to stay. And that he wants to stay, which is the most important thing. We all talk a lot, I have shown the player that he is valued. And he has to show it again."
