Madrid and its bad habit with its legends
Real Madrid is currently experiencing a very good state of form, after the thrashing they received in the Clásico in which they were defeated 0-4 by FC Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeú, Carlo Ancelotti's team has known how to react in a great way, with Karim Benzema as one of the main people responsible for the lethality of the team in its offense, however, Vinicius's drop in level compared to his tremendous start to the season is notorious, lately he has not managed to be that explosive and forceful Vinicius of a few months ago beyond the genius assistance he gave Casemiro for the first goal recently against Getafe, however, this does not worry the Brazilian who knows perfectly well that he is one of the immovable members of Ancelotti's squad and that he is in Florentino Pérez's plans for the immediate future of Real Madrid because he has the quality of a world star, capable of leading a project that is currently undergoing renovation, a renovation that s would allow the departure of several important players, some of the winners of the 4 champions leagues of the last decade, will leave the club at the end of the season, among them, Marcelo, Isco and a much questioned Gareth Bale, the Welsh star is one of the most decisive players and leaders of his national team, but after qualifying for the European Championship and the famous image in which Bale shows that he cared more about his nation and golf before Real Madrid, he has ended up being relegated from the squad merengue and has earned the contempt of the fans, and it is that, Bale, in recent seasons has had zero prominence and still remains one of the best paid in the white squad, since he has not wanted to leave except for his micro adventure at Tottenham where he showed a good level, to end up returning from the loan and bowing down again on the white bench, yes, he has always been happy in that position to collect a million for doing nothing and has made it clear that after leaving the meringues he will not look for any elite team.
It is even said that if he does not qualify for Qatar 2022 in June, which would be the second for his team after many decades, Bale would retire from national team football, letting us see that football is not currently the priority of the attacker of the Madrid, former Tottenham winger, and that his life is quite relaxed and calm, despite this and the notorious physical deterioration, Bale continues to show his great skills and his incredible hitting of the ball with his left leg, which in his day He became one of the best soccer players in the world, he seems to rejuvenate a few years when he wears the national team shirt. Now, knowing a little about Bale's current situation, yesterday, against Getafe, Carlo Ancelotti decided to "give him minutes", only a handful, really, but hey, we saw the Welsh cyclone on the pitch again, the famous Cardiff, well, to Gareth Bale, the thing is that the whistles he received when he entered the field were absurd, they whistled so loudly that they monopolized the narrators of the ESPN broadcast, I was unprecedented in such a situation and that I did not I am Bale, while he was calm and was even amused that the Madrid fans whistled at him, I did not imagine that he would react like that, but then I remembered how he had reacted to being on the bench for 4 years after sending a Chilean in the final of the Champions League against Liverpool and it happens to me, it's just that I know that, how do all the fans plan to whistle on a footballer who is undoubtedly one of the most important in their success in the past decade? Bale was a starter in 3 of the 4 Champions League finals that Real Madrid played and scored in 2 of them, in addition, against Juventus, although he was not a starter, he came on as a substitute, what else does a man have to do to be considered? team legend? and not only in the Champions League final, an indelible memory of the Madrid retina is the run in which Gareth Bale left Marc Bartra completely scattered, to score the title goal in the Copa del Rey final.
And it is true that the level has dropped, but it is that they have not been given opportunities. How are you going to demonstrate the same in Real Madrid as in Wales when in one you are the undisputed starter and in the other you are a substitute for the substitute? impossible, the merengue fans are being too harsh with a footballer who gave his best years to the white house and who was key in one of the most successful decades in its history, making a great partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema forming the famous BBC , I still remember that final in Cardiff, when Bale took out a powerful shot against Buffon, my heart stopped as a Bianconero fan, but Buffon managed to catch it "copri la tua sinistra" Gigi shouted, "Tapen the left foot", euphoric he went I told Bonucci and Chiellini that nobody wants to be a goalkeeper when Bale's left leg is going to finish off, just like Joe Hart in that tie before the final with Atlético de Madrid in 2016 that was decided with a Bale goal in the whites' stadium, Gareth Bale has left us too many good moments as a footballer to be so unfair to him, hopefully we'll see him in Qatar giving one last dance with a real desire.
