Gareth Bale to finally play football again as Real Madrid fear public fiasco
The Welshman hit the headlines at the end of last year when he held the notorious 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.' banner
Sunday 22nd August 2020
Next week, in all likelihood, Gareth Bale will still be a Real Madrid player.
It is when Zinedine Zidane will start his pre-season training and, if reports coming out of Madrid are to be believed, he would rather not see the Welshman walk through the door at the club's Valdebebas training complex.
What Zidane is dreading more, however, is when Bale finally gets the chance to play again a week later – for Wales in next month's UEFA Nations League.
Ryan Giggs' men begin their campaign against Finland on September 3 before facing Bulgaria just three days later and, according to Spanish outlet AS, Los Blancos are dreading it.
For Bale, it gives him the chance to actually play a game of football, which has been something of a rarity of late.
The winger, still undoubtedly Wales' talisman, has endured a rocky few months with the Spanish champions. His relationship with Zidane is said to be worse than ever and some outlets have even gone as far as to say it is irreparable.
Since February 16, Bale has played just 100 minutes of La Liga football. Earlier this month he reportedly asked not to travel to Manchester for the Champions League clash with City because he knew he wouldn't be picked and his journey would be fruitless.
That, of course, will not be the case with Wales, for whom he is still so important.
Bale loves linking up with the Wales camp, where he enjoys his football and has enjoyed being such a vital component to the success over the last few years.
But, importantly, the game against Finland will represent his first outing in 71 days amid an insidious and unsightly freeze-out in the Spanish capital.
Madrid, however, are said to be fearful of Bale's link-up with the national team.
Media outlet AS claim the Spanish giants are concerned about what the 31-year-old will say while on press duties and are worried he might speak ill of his employers.
Most notably, they do not want another episode such as last November when Bale held up that now infamous 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.' flag after he helped secure Wales' spot in Euro 2020 with a win over Hungary.
Madrid are said to be bracing themselves for Bale's appearance in the red of Wales and it is reported they have demanded respect and decorum from the player.
Bale will doubtless just be looking forward to getting back out on the pitch again. His fans here, too, will be desperate to see him enjoying his football again.

Gareth Bale doesn't have to say anything about his Real Madrid experiences; he just needs to concentrate on being amongst friends, playing football and helping Wales to reach their goals
Zinedine Zidane is (for me) clearly a man with the chip in his shoulder and Bale is the target of his ire
It's not nice but it is how it is and Bale should seize this moment of respite!

I've said as much myself Sven, zidane has carried on his beef with bale since returning,after failing to get bale moved on the 1st time around.
I pissed earlier when refine an articlo disrespe on bale from a Spanish paper,telling him to shut his mouth!! And not to say anything to drag the name of real madrid down! They are doing it themselves,by allowing the manager for escalating the stalemate .I hope he plays a blinder in both games,and gets talked about for what he is good at.Madrid for a few years Gareth,
But CYMRU AM BYTH

As a welshman myself I fully back Bale in his situation. If I was him i would only play for WALES and ignore everyone about Real Madrid. Because at least he is wanted and is well loved at home in WALES. AND he loves playing in the red of the welsh dragon.

Fortunately Bale is one of those players who does not need full time football to turn and play well.
I hope he keeps quiet about his present time at Real. That will eat into them even more so.
