Zinedine Zidane has rejected the reports that Gareth Bale is only effective on the counter-attack and tipped him to rediscover his top form. Bale has been booed by fans at the Bernabeu during a underwhelming start to the 2017-18 campaign, especially when he failed to score during disappointing recent home draws against Levante and Valencia — teams that defended deeply and did not give him space to attack in behind. “It is not wrong to say that Bale with space can do damage to any team, with the pace he has,” Zidane said. “We saw that in the goal the…

And don’t go hating us in the comments for “shaming” Khloe — you know we LOVE Khloe and we think she looks amazing, but no girl…
