Glass Dragons Still Breathe Fire - The Gareth Bale Thread

Are you Bale’s mum?

 

Sugar daddy?

 

I like how you’re repetitively thumping your chest for accepting (if not enjoying) disrespect of the club and trying to shit on people that disliked it. What’s wrong with you

 

no one has ever thought bale is better or even close to Ronaldo...

 

that's Mariano, I don’t think ZZ will be laughing it up with bale at practice

 

I think it's mostly a headache for Zidane who has to answer for it in interviews and Perez for similar reasons. The players will shrug it off.

 

As if the Bale loving wasn’t creepy enough.

 

Some serious underlying problems.

Smh

 

I really don't think I am. In fact, I'm quite sure I am spot on with this one. He's always been like that, so this is in line with his previous comments regarding the subject. Anyway, it was a side note.

 

Lol

I read now that Zidane backs Bale 100% so I am just gonna turn the page on this one.
Zidane is not a person you can easily figure out

 

Agreed. If he keeps playing Bale it will clearly show that Zizou is not the petty person that he seems to be sometimes. Perhaps his dislike for certain players is purely based on their style of game, form and/or performance.

 

I can't.

 

I doubt that the our canteranos and people who have dedicated their lives to the club are taking it as lightly, even if they are not personally injured it's a huge slap in the face to the people who would give their blood, sweat and tears for the shirt.

 

I love how Zidane handled this situation. Support Bale internally and publicly, but let him hear what the crowd thinks of him when he enters the pitch. I'm pretty sure the sub was way of punishing him.
Bale got his fine, squad bonded stronger, Bale played well.

Props to the boss and screw you to the Bale! I was definitely for never playing Bale again, but Zidane made the squad stronger with good decision.
But, Bale is good player in good form. I expect him to start against PSG.

 

Agree with you. Zidane cares about one thing only. Winning. He doesn't care about anything else.
I remember an interview where he was annoyed at being labelled as "aesthetic" or "poetic" as a player. I paraphrase: He said the only thing I want to be remembered as is being a winner and my dedication to winning. Something like that

 

If anything, this whole saga has made me root more for Bale to succeed. I love Madrid, but sports fans' over the top demands that players act like they have absolute and primal loyalty to their clubs is just silly in my mind. I thought the same thing when Lebron moved to Miami and everyone treated him like a war criminal.

Do I love players who seem to bleed for the shirt? Sure. Bale will never crack my all-time favorite Madridistas list, but I'm not going to be angry at him for a joke suggesting that Madrid isn't the most important thing in his life.You can argue that the flag wasn't that funny of a joke, but search" "https://www.google.com/searchq=bale+golf+site:marca.com&tbs=cdr:1,cd_max:11/4/2019" and you'll see why there would be plenty of temptation to send up the idea.

Bale has been very good this year. One of our best honestly. I hope he keeps it up, scores a hat trick in the Camp Nou then sends everyone into a tizzy by telling reporters after the game that playing in such a hostile environment was no sweat, he's been training for it.

 

Meh, immaculate call bull shit.

First off Zidane was never a player known to be obsessed with training in the mold of a Cristiano or a Jordan, Kobe, etc.

Second he was very much a player who would go for the extraordinary play rather than the practical.

Finally he was also a player who put his principals and morals over his teams success hence the ending of his career with a red card and losing a world cup final for reasons still unknown a decade later.

 

One of our best this year? You guys are still pushing that nonsense for the passenger who was injured or whatever as usually when the team overturned the poor into the good.
Our 100 M golfer has 2 goals and 2 assists in 620 minutes.
Our 18yo teenager who isn't a drama queen has 5 goals and 1 assists in less minutes.

Gtfo with that one of the best bullshit. Show some respect to the players who are actually performing and not busy stirring up drama.

 

The guy clearly wanted to leave some time ago but didn’t have any suitors. He never looks like he even wants to be here, then he goes and takes the piss out the club.
