Soccer news: Welsh superstar Gareth Bale recently moved to MLS side LAFC and is enjoying the moment at the club.
The striker was going through a rough patch in recent years and faced a lot of criticism.
During those 2-3 years of difficulties at Madrid, Bale only found happiness in his national team’s games.
But his move to MLS this season has made him fall in love with football again. He is feeling love for his new club.
Bale joined Los Angeles FC in July after his contract with Madrid expired. He regularly appears for the Major League Soccer team. But he appears mainly as a substitute player to improve his fitness after the lack of playing time last season in Spain.
Bale is focused on getting his fitness back on track ahead of November 21, when his country will compete against the United States in their first group match at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
This will be a historic moment for both Bale and his country. Bale will appear in the World Cup for the first time while the Welshman will reappear in the World Cup for the first time after 1958.
Bale has won 5 Champions League trophies for Real Madrid, which is the biggest achievement in his career. And he also led Wales twice in the Euros. Before Pogba arrived at Manchester United, Bale was the most expensive player in the world.
Despite being lined up with various clubs around the world, Bale chose to move to Los Angeles to spend the final years of his career.
When asked about his time in California, Bale spoke up: “They made me feel at home right away. I’m getting good vibes from my team in MLS and hopefully that will give me more confidence playing for Wales.”
He also added: “It’s good to be playing, it’s good to be in a place where I feel loved and enjoy now.” He also revealed his plans before going to the World Cup as his current focus is on his club LAFC.
The 33-year-old has not played the full 90 minutes in any MLS game for his club. After his arrival, he has just played 342 minutes in his 11 appearances. He also expressed his desire to be “100 percent fit” before the World Cup.
The former Spurs and Southampton player has now declared himself fitter and happier before leaving Real Madrid. He ended his nine-year stay more bitter than sweet at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Although his first seasons were incredible, his physical condition and injuries made him the subject of harsh criticism from the white fans. Gareth Bale will manage the Dragons against Belgium and Poland in the UEFA Nations League in the next match.
