Welsh need new translator in press conference after Giggs is asked 'Who is Bale'

Wales' press conference turned into a shambles on Friday after boss Ryan Giggs was asked by a translator 'Who is Gareth Bale?'.

The UEFA-appointed female translator was removed following the bizarre question with concerns that she didn't possess the knowledge or experience to help conduct the media briefing, according to The Sun.

Giggs was also left frustrated when answering questions after being spoken over by the translator.

Gareth Bale then sat down with reporters following the conclusion of Giggs' press conference before a different translator arrived halfway through the questions.

The arrival of the second translator led Bale to joke, 'You're a bit late' before continuing with the questions.

It's the second Euro 2020 qualifier Wales have had trouble with translators after a Croatian translator was deemed not good enough during a press conference in Cardiff last month.
