Gareth Bale
is happy in
Wales
and wants to give everything so that his country is at the next
World Cup in Qatar
.
It is his great dream and everyone around him, including
Real Madrid
, understands it.
What causes some anger and desperation in
Chamartín
is the chronology of events that, for too long now, end with the striker missing his team's games and playing those of his national team.
The last chapter of this was produced last weekend, hours before the
classic
.
Bale, who
has only played two games with Real Madrid since August
, claimed some discomfort in his back that prevented him from entering the squad for the match against Barcelona.
A loss that in another context would not be so important, but that with the
absence of Benzema
acquired greater consequences.
The Welshman had been
a starter at Villarreal
as a false nine in Karim's last injury, so he was an option that
Ancelotti
was considering for the classic.
His loss forced him to think of other alternatives, finally making the wrong decision to put
Modric
as a striker.
The
74 minutes
he played at La Cerámica and the
three
he played in the first leg against
PSG
have been Bale's only time with Madrid since August
28
.
He started all three league games (
Alavés, Levante and Betis
) and broke.
Knee injury, calf injury, coronavirus, back discomfort and many substitutions with hardly any warm-up on the band.
"I only thought about this"
The month of March has arrived, the
playoff for access to the World Cup
has occupied all the minds of Bale, a great star of the British team.
Wales plays this Thursday against
Austria
in the first match of the
qualifiers
and the madridista has shown since Monday a happiness and a state of form far removed from his disappearance on Sunday against Barça, when he was not even at the Bernabéu.
"Since we got into this situation (the qualifiers)
I have only thought about this
. Thinking about the
future
(because of his contract termination with Madrid) can cause doubts, I suppose, in your own mind, so I have not been thinking about that. I've only thought about this game", he assured in the concentration of his team.
On his loss in the classic, he defended himself by explaining that "it
is normal to have discomfort from time to time
".
"But now I'm fine," she added.
"I've been training well for the last two and a half months and they gave me some minutes like three weeks ago," she summed up, laughing.
"
I'm in great shape
. Ready to play as long as it takes. It means a lot to all of us to play for Wales," he concluded.
