Glass Dragons Still Breathe Fire - The Gareth Bale Thread

Those of you talking about him having lost a step or w/e ... I'm not really seeing it. His preseason's been bad, but there have still been several occasions to my eye where the elite first step acceleration and turning have been on full display.

 

What exactly is the result of this "elite first step acceleration and turning"?

The shit you read here, lmfao!

 

I was simply responding to comments that he's physically slowed down/lost pace, you dumb troll

 

Have some glitter for improved performance. Bale should use it to despite his "elite first step acceleration and turning".

So, this is what "elite first step acceleration and turning" buys you.

Bale leaves training a bit early due to a knock to his right ankle

 

You got to be kidding me.

 

AS reporting it was discomfort in the Achilles Tendon...

Not again please. He seemed to walk off fine so maybe it's not too bad.

Every time he gets even the slightest knock, it will be worrisome

 

Man really sucks for him. And us.

 

Can't we donate him to some hospital or some shit ? Maybe they can write some medical books on him or something.

 

Now, I can totally see him leaving this summer(if his injury allows him to pass a medical).

 

Should be sold,undoubtetly.

 

Zidane says Bale's knock is no big deal

 

Only Samwell Tarly can heal him.

 

I'd still keep the guy around this season even if Mbappe comes in. His history tell us he's likely to get injured but having him as an option when health (albeit an expensive one) adds depth which will be tested this year. Our squad hasn't changed much last couple of years but they've played a ton of games, injuries more likely then before imo.

 

Gets injured by doing nothing lol hes been avoiding all contact , dribbles in the pre season games and still gets a knock.

Just get rid of this waste of space seriously.

 

Zidane may say it's nothing, but it's naturally quite concerning when he tweaks the Achilles by jogging and not even any contact. Shows that something's not right.

Left training with 10 mins to go, again... tweaked it JOGGING. Wtf!

 

Probably just being overly cautious since it is preseason training. Still worrying.

 

glass man strikes again

 

Nooooo, now you spoiled it. Still have to watch! Haha.

 

Nothing like "fans" blaming players for their injuries.
