Gareth Bale seems to have rediscovered the joy of playing for Real Madrid, with the good start to the season apparently being due to coach Carlo Ancelotti, with three games to start and one goal.
“I’ve always had a good relationship with Ancelotti, but it’s always the same principle – surrender to be part of the team. I had a good pre-season and a good start to the season. It’s always positive to be in a good atmosphere and this year, obviously, the atmosphere at Real is better for me», he told BBC Wales, who is part of the Wales national team for the qualifiers for the World Cup 2022.
The player spent the second half of last season on loan at Tottenham, then with no space at Real de Zidane. “Going to Tottenham was the ‘rest’ you need, I really enjoyed being in the spurs. It definitely helped me get back to a happier place in my head and that was seen with Wales in the Euro. The same spirit came to Real with me this season», he explained.
At 32, Bale was again asked about his future with the national team, the same doubts that arose when his country was eliminated in the Euro. “I don’t think about more than the match against Belarus, then match by match. I want to be at the Worlds with Wales, not just for myself, but for the entire nation. I never thought to withdraw nor did I want to give explanations», he said.
