Zidane says that he isn't getting involved in the Bale stuff that is said outside of the team. "It's all too much," he said. "There has been a lot of noise on the Bale stuff but I look at him from a footballing point of view."

He says that Bale is a player in the team and will be counted on with so many important games coming up. "He looks pretty happy to me," he said. "I saw him very, very happy when he scored the goal in the Champions League final."

The message is fairly clear then that Bale is being counted on and might even play tomorrow.
