Which can make you smile, when you know how much he has been criticized and even pushed out by the Merengue … « Football is very inconstant, » Bale smiles accordingly, not fooled. « One minute we hate you, and the next minute we love you … It’s always nice to receive kind words, it can only be positive. » Since the resumption of the season, the one who had been loaned to Tottenham has recovered a rather unexpected status of holder in the Madrid attack.

Back in La Liga, he will therefore not meet Cristiano Ronaldo, who returns to him in the Premier League: « I’m sure he will be good, he has already proven it in England in the past. He understands this championship, there is Already done everything. His scoring ability is second to none. I’m sure he will do well and score a lot. I can’t wait to see him, like everyone else.  » After playing for six years at Manchester United, from 2003 to 2009, « CR7 » is therefore back on the side of Old Trafford.
