From a (long) time to this part when Gareth Frank Bale you can see him jumping, running, laughing and romping around the field as if it were an ad for Fa or the promo for Little House on the Prairie you can absolutely assure that he is with the Wales national team. If, on the contrary, Bale looks sad, gloomy, as if he were an honorary member of the Santa Compaña, on my word that he is with the Real Madrid, which, after all, is his current club (although for a short time) and the one that pays him, by the way, a real dough. I don’t think there is a single explanation for how this situation has come about, but rather there must be several. It seems that it was a hundred years ago when it happened but it should be remembered that Bale stood up to Daniel Levy, president of Tottenham, because he wanted to fulfill his dream of playing for Real Madrid at all costs. Yes, yes, Gareth Bale wanted to fulfill his dream of playing in the Real Madrid shirt. To Levy, who was being very tough in the negotiations, the Welshman told him that he would either let him go or simply hang up his boots. In other words, the absent Bale, the apathetic Bale, the disconnected Gareth Bale, that same Bale was willing to give up playing football if they didn’t let him play for Madrid.
Once here, and although in a very discontinuous and irregular way, Bale he began to return to Real everything that Madrid had exposed for him. It has already been said on previous occasions that Bale appears in many of the photographs of the successes of one of the best Real Madrid in history, that of the three consecutive European Cups and four in five years. Whether it was due to injuries or because the footballer has a reputation for not taking too much pain, Bale’s absences began to be too long and his presence irrelevant. For every technical detail, for every dribble and for every goal, Bale returned minutes and more inconsequential minutes and wandered the field like a lost soul. Football player began to be expendable, began to fade until his presence on the bench or even that stopped drawing attention. Bale dreamed of playing for Madrid, the madridistas dreamed of seeing Gareth Bale dressed in white but, in the end, their relationship turned into a nightmare. It is so true that Spanish sports journalism has not behaved well with him as he never cared about snubs and even for his defenders, among whom I found myself, he always had an air of a certain curse, as if Bale had decided to counterattack betting on his role as enfant terrible. The more Bale was attacked, the more he seemed to try to show the world that he was happy with his selection. to the famous “Wales, golf, Madrid. In that order”. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back of the patience of almost all his defenders and his absence from the game against Barça and his happy reappearance again with Wales has even made Bale’s last defense lawyer on the face of the earth give up, my friend Jesús Bengoechea, who I know is sad and disappointed with this situation.
It must be recognized that Bale is a cheek and from his latest performances it could even be deduced that he likes football just and necessary or even not at all, enough to make him a millionaire. It is not the first case nor will it be the last of a footballer who is not interested in football. TO Florentino Perez He is blamed for not tying Bale up short, for not forcing him to reason, for not making an effort to convince him that he was important to the team. In this, only in this, football continues to be a different business from the rest because it is the only one in which, if you come across a footballer like that, you cannot do anything except try to sell him off or wait for his contract to end, which is why what Real Madrid has chosen.
Except for insufficient flashes, Bale has been a great disappointment. Perhaps nothing should be expected from a trunk but from a super class yes, and Bale is. God sometimes gives a handkerchief to those who do not have snot. Bale has not rebelled because he doesn’t give a damn about Real Madrid, Madrid, Spain and Spanish, European and world football and it is most likely that in three months he will hang up his boots. The worst thing I can say about Bale is that I feel cheated as a madridista, I feel cheated and mocked and I want him out of here as soon as possible. Gareth Bale entered Madrid but Madrid did not enter him and I doubt very much that any other football club could. Florentino has done the most reasonable, try to get rid of it even if it means losing money and, if not, put up with it in silence like suffering from a pile. Because that is precisely what Bale is for Real Madrid, a swollen vein in the anus, one of those deep and painful ones that ultimately produce thrombi. Bale’s hemorrhoid will pass and soon we won’t even remember his face. His disaffection is only embarrassing for him. He does not know what he has lost and the saddest thing is that it seems that he has not been happy for nine years. As much peace as rest you will leave when you are definitely gone. You are the past, the future is Mbappé.
