Gareth Bale "More Excited"

GARETH BALE 'MORE EXCITED' PLAYING FOR WALES THAN REAL

15/11/20

Gareth Bale admits he gets "more excitement" playing for Wales than he does representing Real Madrid.

Bale's call-up to this Wales squad - for European Qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Hungary - has not gone down well in Spain, with his last appearance for Real coming back on October 5. The 30-year-old has not even been available for training at Real since he picked up a calf problem in Wales' 1-1 draw against Croatia on October 13.

But his injury has not stopped him training with Wales this week - his return has been hailed in the Spanish press as the 'Miracle in Wales' - and the forward says he is glad to be back among the group.

"I definitely have more excitement playing for Wales," Bale said ahead of the Group E qualifier in Azerbaijan on Saturday. "I've been with most of the older players since we were in the U17s. It's like playing with your mates down the park on a Sunday. It's normal.

"With Wales, I'm speaking my own language and feel more comfortable. But it doesn't change what I do on the pitch. I always give 100 per cent on the pitch wherever I am, that's what I always strive to do."

Not saying now, and he wouldn't need the cash, but I wonder if Bale will be a Manager somewhere in the future?

A bit like Ryan Giggs then !!!!
