Bale needs his ‘confidence boosted’ by Jose Mourinho – Harry Redknapp
Harry Redknapp says Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho needs to work on getting the best out of Gareth Bale and attempt to boost his confidence going forward.
The Welshman has struggled to adapt to life back in the Premier League so far this season, scoring one goal in six appearances.
Redknapp who was manager of Bale during his first spell at the club, said the 31-year-old is not the most ‘overconfident’ of players and that Mourinho needs to give him more time.
Speaking to Sky Sports, ‘He’s hardly had a chance, to be fair to him. He didn’t play well against Brighton, but who did? He was no worse than anyone else.
‘Gareth can play, again. You’ve got to know him. As great a player as he has been, he was in the top five players in the world when I had him and he went to Real Madrid. He’s not an overconfident person.
‘You’ve got to get into him, tell him how good he is, get him out on the training ground, put a dummy against him, get the worst player you’ve got to defend against him, and keep giving Gareth the ball
