The Bale thing

Gareth Bale is a Real Madrid legend.

I didn't expect to have to talk about the welshman so soon, at this point in the season, but current affairs rule. "Lo de Bale", the Bale thing, commands, which is not only having been absolutely stunning with his team, but, something rare for him, having tweeted against the spanish press. It doesn't seem that Bale reads Marca, but he does read the British press, and he was blown up by this publication (which quotes Marca and this article)

Total, Gareth exploded.

Oh, the cave press (caverna)

Because although some people call the Madrid published press "La Caverna", it rarely helps Real Madrid, rather the opposite. For example, many call them the scoundrel press (canallesca)

Is Bale a parasite? No insults, no need. He is a great player with a highly debatable end to his career at Real Madrid. Is it all his fault? Surely not (environment, press, coaches, injuries) but in some way yes, Gareth, yes. I have always been Gareth's fan. I was convinced that he would be our leader after Cristiano left, and that step forward was taken by Benzema. Gareth, for whatever reason he disappeared.

And this week has been the most painful... that injury prior to the classic is highly suspicious when days later you put on a world-class performance with your national team. And that Wales, Golf, Madrid (in that order) being in the background.

This time, Gareth, you are wrong. Not in criticizing the press, that the insult has no place, but you personally should demand yourself much, much more. It seems that Gareth has tired of Madrid, but not of collecting money. And it's a real shame, because this season could still have been very important with the right role. It still could be.

Now... should he go back to playing white? Will he  reserved himself until the playoff final in June? And on top of that, he will have a better golf handicap...

Gareth, Legend: finish well, Bale. End this story well. Because today is a yes... but it's a no.
