After years of decline and repeated crises at Real Madrid, Welsh striker Gareth Bale appeared with a different face in his first weeks in the American Football League.
Bale left Real Madrid after the end of his contract with the club last June, and insisted on completing his contract with the team despite messages sent to him in recent seasons that he was no longer wanted.
Bell chose to move to the American League, and joined the Los Angeles Galaxy club in a search for permanent participation in matches, to reach the best preparedness with the Wales national team for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
HE'S GARETH BALE.

The former Tottenham player participated in 96 minutes during 4 matches with his new team, which were enough minutes to remove the image of the rebellious player trapped on the Real Madrid bench, and restore in its place the image of the fast striker with skills who is able to create danger at any moment of the match.
Gareth Bale scored two goals with his new team, and his goal on Sunday against Real Salt Lake was similar to his famous goal against Barcelona in the King's Cup final.

This goal came to confirm that the former Real Madrid player opened a new page unrelated to the previous, as he appeared happy in most of his pictures and television interviews.
Bale showed in a television interview his ability to speak fluently in Spanish, in an attempt to win over the fans of his new team of Hispanic origins, although he has rarely appeared in Spanish since joining Real Madrid in 2013, which the Spanish press considered evidence of his lack of integration and isolation from rest of the players.
Bale, 33, has a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy that extends to June 2023, and his experience in the United States may be an opportunity for a distinguished conclusion to the career of a player whose skills did not differ football fans, but failed to obtain the support of everyone because of his decisions and actions outside the field.
