From language problem, fans’ problem, to having to struggle to gain attention where C.Ronaldo is the main focus, Bale has continually found it hard to settle at the Bernabeu after 2 seasons, and just could be on his way back “home” earlier than expected. The most expensive player in transfer history has come under harsh criticisms of recent due to his non-constant form for the Galacticos. One that his agent, Jonathan Barnett has attributed to his teammates refusal to pass him the ball on the pitch.
“Real have to work with Gareth and pass the ball to him more. Give him more of the ball and let him show everybody what he’s good at. He’s going to be the best player at Real Madrid when his team-mates work with him and help him. Hopefully Real will come to terms with this.”
True to Jonathan’s words, Bale only received the ball 18 times during Madrid’s defeat to Juventus in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. It is obvious the player is unhappy at Real Madrid and to be honest, it is shocking to note that a player that Real Madrid broke the world record to sign would be treated the way Bale has been treated so far.
“We’ve been vindicated by these statistics and it’s what we’ve been saying all along. It proves that people don’t know what they’re talking about when they criticise Gareth, they are not looking at it properly.”
And his performances on the pitch was also below par. 27 touches and one shot were all the Welsh could manage in Turin, way below an 85 million pounds transfer performance.
He has also not been able to master the Spanish language. And this has hampered his relationship with other players in the dressing room, a majority that don’t understand English.
With all these woes befalling him and getting him a hard time, Bale might be out of Spain next summer. Provided a club is ready to offer Madrid a fee within the 80 million pounds range. And Chelsea, who had shown interest in him, might table such offer. And should Abramovich be keen on the player, it will not surprise anyone if
