Group A Results and classification
Gareth Bale is
to be
credited with
his uncanny ability to have become the most inspiring footballer sportswriters have known in the last decade. There have been better ones than him -not many-, but none have managed to always talk about him and that each time it is for a different reason, because at times the world laughs at Bale, but Bale always laughs at the world. Only the
Real Madrid
player - it should be remembered, which is sometimes forgotten - is capable of completing a match that borders on perfection, serving the assists of the goals that virtually classify Wales, dominating all facets - football and emotional - of the game and at the same time to concede a penalty thrown into the clouds for the mockery of those who want it.
Bale did everything except the goal. And although staying with the second part of the sentence is tempting, because it fuels his recent legend of a footballer in retirement, it is fair to focus on the first part, which speaks of a superlative game in which he gave away four goals, although his teammates only they were able to score two. Because Wales gives for what it gives and that is precisely where its merit lies, in being able to resize an anonymous team until its arrival and that it does not go beyond having a couple of notable players to cover its captain.
"Everyone is too aware of individual performances, but it is not about me taking a step forward," he had said in the previous one, tired of being reminded that he has not scored a goal for Wales in a year and eight months. , streak that remains in force one more day.
What difference does it make.
He does not score a penalty, but the victory of his team against Turkey cannot be explained without him, a midfielder, midfielder and winger at the same time.
Ramsey's goal
Bale spent the entire first half retreating to the center of the field to make contact with the ball and open play towards his teammates, especially towards
James
, stinging on the left wing. On three occasions he raised the periscope to observe
Ramsey's
good unchecks
, but Juventus found it difficult to specify the hand-to-hand that his captain gave him. Until on the brink of rest he finally did, because it was much more difficult to fail her than to put her in. The goal was scored by Ramsey, but the spotlights were not at that moment for him.
Turkey, a sea of shortcomings in this European Championship, pressed after the break, but always had
Çekir
prepared to make big mistakes.
One of them was to commit a penalty on Bale on the side line of the area.
The sentence and the end of the streak seemed to arrive, but, written remains, the ball went around the sky of Baku.
The failure, garrafal, was an anecdote when in the last minute of the game he came back down the wing after a corner taken short and served
Wilson
the second of the afternoon for Wales.
A goal that leaves Wales in the round of 16 except for carom and that leaves gray Turkey on the edge of the abyss.
