| Bale seeks Real revival |
One yansear ago decline
Gareth Bale during the production side to Real Madrid Real Madrid, which was
surrounded by shouts and insults by fan.
They were angered by
his inability to take a lot of possibilities that Madrid was eliminated from
the Champions League semi-final to Juventus.
After twelve months,
Bale is the man in form and fit so real it seemed to seal their place in the
final of the European Cup 14 on Wednesday when he visits Manchester City at the
Bernabeu with the semi-finals of the delicate balance of 0-0 in the first step.
He stood up to be
counted bales in the absence of injured three times World Player of the Year
Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks to keep the hopes of a league and Champions
League double life of Madrid.
For the first time
in his three years in Madrid, and seal the Welshman his authority on the side
to prove that he could be a successor to Ronaldo becomes the biggest dog in the
Real Madrid as president Florentino Perez expected when shelling out more than
100 million euros ($ 114 million) to secure his services for Tottenham Hotspur
.
Bale to accept
himself, was his second season in the Spanish capital and one to forget that
Madrid finished the season without a major trophy and promised a lot during the
winless 22 games from September to January.
"Maybe last
season he did not play anywhere near my abilities," he said recently.
"It's good to
be a bad season, you really learn a lot about yourself and feel that this
season it was last season aboard.
"I understand
the game a lot from here and we hope that there is still much more to come in
the future."
I saw a bale already
winning the Champions League, scoring in the final against local rivals
Atletico Madrid to provide valuable real "X" - the tenth European
Cup.
However, although
that did not protect the criticism, aged 26 years that followed last season.
Often bales
struggled to adapt to their environment in the Spanish capital and the pressure
that comes with being the most expensive player in the world.
He said he still has
to talk to the media in Spanish, even though they claim to be able to be
understood in the dressing room.
However, its image
as a more pricey and turned luxury vulnerable to injury in recent weeks, where
he led the return 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Rayo Vallecano with the past weekend
double week and continued with the winner as a colder than the tenth consecutive
wins in the game 1 -0 Real Sociedad football on Saturday activity.
Madrid sports daily
said on Saturday morning, like the cover: "The league runs through
Bale."
While his talent
questioned by some, he has surprised the personality, character and leadership
shown by a bullet in the absence of many Ronaldo in Madrid.
However, the return
is still lacking in the famous Champions at the Bernabeu prestige of the night.
Bale has yet to
score a goal in the competition this season, while Ronaldo has 16 in 10 games,
including an impressive 2-0 triple-leg deficit reflected Wolfsburg in the
quarter-finals.
"I thought as
soon as they have become not Decima, and I'll be happy," said Bale Times
last week.
"But no, it's
just the nature of the club, who want to win the European Cup every year. It is
instilled in you as they go every year."
Ronaldo is expected
to return from a hamstring injury on Wednesday, but it offers a tour of the
city the opportunity to bales of shadow and fingerprinted when it really
matters in Madrid.
