“I didn’t want to do it. I just wanted to play football and go home, so that probably hurt me and made them attack me more.”
Gareth Bale, former Real Madrid player, has advised current main team star Jude Bellingham, urging him to speak to the press and “in Spanish” to avoid “sticks”.
The former Wales winger, 34, took part in a relaxed sports-themed match, Its own competition broadcast by the Sky platform. The program aired on October 25, but its content has now gone viral on social networks.
There, Bale surprised with his advice for Bellingham: “My biggest advice: He plays the game of what it means to be at Real Madrid. Because if you don’t play and don’t do what the press wants, talk to them and in Spanish (actually be a puppet) you will get a lot of beatings. You see the Galactics and they act like that too. They do what the press wants and play what it means to be a Real Madrid player. Maybe that was my downfall.”
“I didn’t want to do it. I just wanted to play football and go home, so that probably hurt me and made them attack me a little bit more. My advice is to play off the pitch what it means to be a Real Madrid player,” concludes Bale.
