Santiago Solari: 'I like to see Gareth Bale play everywhere for Real Madrid'

Interim boss Santiago Solari has suggested that he is prepared to give Gareth Bale the freedom to play where he wants to for Real Madrid.

The European champions have endured a difficult start to the campaign, with Solari having already been brought in as a replacement for Julen Lopetegui, but the former midfielder has won his opening two matches without conceding a goal.

Bale has impressed during the games against Real Valladolid and Viktoria Plzen, and Solari has said that he likes to see the Wales international 'play everywhere'.

At a press conference, Solari told reporters: "I like how he plays everywhere on the pitch, he has skills to play on both flanks, behind the striker and even as the main forward.

"Also as a left-back. He just has to go out there and give his very best every time he plays, just like he did against Viktoria."

Real make the trip to face Celta Vigo this weekend.
