Zidane plans to fit in both Bale, Benzema in team

Barcelona: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said on Friday he will find room to accommodate Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema as well as sparkling Spanish duo Marco Asensio and Isco this season as he looks to create a versatile, unpredictable side.

Forwards Benzema and Bale received the bulk of criticism from supporters and Spanish media for misfiring as Real drew 2-2 with Valencia before the international break, with Asensio salvaging a point with a late free kick. Zidane, however, said he has no plans to stick with one fixed formation this campaign, leaving the door open to playing the old ‘BBC’ attacking trio of Bale, Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo one week, while fielding attacking midfielders Asensio and Isco the next.
