Double scorer yesterday against Austria with Wales (2-1 victory), Gareth Bale allows his country to continue to dream of a first qualification for a Cup since 1958. He took the opportunity to settle some accounts also.
“Wales, golf, Madrid. In this order”. Gareth Bale keeps his word. Author of a double yesterday against Austria (2-1 victory), he allows his country to continue to believe in a qualification for the Cup. It would be the first since 1958. We then understand a little better the enthusiasm that accompanies the selection and its hero. Adored in Wales, Bale is also mocked in Spain where his history with Real Madrid has taken a disastrous turn for far too long now.
Already yesterday, he released his 4 truths about his situation with the Spanish club. At the end of the contract and while the people of Madrid have been trying at all costs to have him leave the club definitively for 2 years, the left-hander ended up accepting this situation. In three months, he will be gone and it will be better for everyone. After qualifying for the final of the play-offs last night, he again attacked the Spanish press, which he described as “disgusting”.
brand had in particular titled a mocker “It doesn’t hurt anymore”, while the Welshman left for selection after being injured with Real. A journalist from the Iberian daily even called the player a parasite. An insult that Bale did not digest and he made it clear during his post-match interview. “I don’t need to send a message, honestly. It’s a waste of time. It’s disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves too. I’m not bothered. End.”
Shattering words that are unlikely to improve his situation in Spain. He probably doesn’t have much to do since anyway, the national team has always had its priority. “We knew what an important game it was that we had to play. We dug deep and, look at our experience in big games. It’s a perfect scenario.”, he assured, he who came out to the ovation of the public. It now remains to qualify his country for the Cup. Next step, Scotland or Ukraine, opponents up to Gareth Bale.
