MUST BALE HIM OUT

GARETH BALE is being backed to spearhead Wales’ latest qualifying campaign but Ryan Giggs has urged his team-mates to “take the pressure off him.”

Bale, above, played 90 minutes under new Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane on Sunday and scored his 14th of the season in the 2-0 win over Celta Vigo.

He is ready for Wales’ friendly at home to Trinidad and Tobago in Wrexham tonight before Slovakia on Sunday in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier.

Bale inspired Wales to Euro 2016 with seven of their 11 goals in qualifying, plus two assists, as the nation made their first finals since 1958.

Now boss Giggs hopes Bale, who has 31 goals in 74 internationals, can deliver again after predecessor Chris Coleman failed to reach the World Cup when their star man was injured.

Giggs, inset, said: “It is always great because usually when Gareth scores he goes on a run.

“It was his first 90 minutes for three months and if he plays games he will score goals. Any manager would want him.

“He’s the main man, Gareth, but also I want to take the pressure off him as well.

“Then if he is not available, we are not just relying on one player. “Aaron Ramsey has also scored some important goals as well.

“And with the emergence of Harry Wilson, David Brooks and Dan James, we have so many attacking options.

“That is what we want but you also recognise you have a special player and one of the best players in the world and want to play to his strengths also.”

Tom Lawrence, Sam Vokes and Ethan Ampadu have all pulled out of Wales’ squad injured.
