Carlo Ancelotti- while in charge of Real Madrid – made Bale play on the right wing.
Bale did not exactly blossom under his tenure.
Benitez positioned Bale as one of his strikers in a 4-4-2 formation and Bale scored a beauty against his old club Tottenham Spurs – a game which Real Madrid went on to win 2 – 0 eventually.
“It’s my best position,” Bale said. “When I played for Tottenham, I felt I played my best football there and when I play for Wales, I play there and play my best football. For me, that’s my position and it’s where I want to play.
So perhaps Benitez will be better for a Bale who for reasons best known to himself is sporting a Wolverine style beard.
