José Mourinho believes that Gareth Bale has overcome a ‘psychological barrier’ in his return to top form with Tottenham in recent weeks.
The Welshman returned to his old club in the summer on loan from Real Madrid and struggled to make an impact early on, only making a comeback in recent weeks.
Bale hit a double in Sunday’s 4-1 win over Crystal Palace to continue his excellent form, which includes six goals and three assists in his last six games in all competitions to help the Spurs put together a four-time winning streak. games.
Mourinho has claimed that he ‘found psychological scars’ on Bale after several disappointing and injury-stricken seasons for Real Madrid, but has now gotten over it and returned to his normal self.
“It’s not that we have challenged him or anything,” Mourinho told Spanish daily AS. ‘We have only supported it.
‘I found psychological scars on him. When you are a couple of seasons with many injuries, the important thing is not only the muscle scars, but also the psychological ones, which bring fear and instability.
‘There is a time when you are working well and everyone around you supports you to the fullest. At that moment the psychological barrier is broken.
And it has. It was him, not us.
As Sportsmail reported, Bale’s recent spike in form could earn him a permanent move back to Spurs with his contract with Real Madrid still more than a year ahead.
Real are still determined to get rid of Bale to finance their own attempts to sign Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappé.
Bale’s resurgence at Spurs has raised Madrid’s hopes of finding a permanent receiver for the Welsh star this summer.
Coach José Mourinho hinted at it last week when asked about Bale’s future and said: [Madrid] they have the power in their hands. ‘
The Spurs are expected to wait until closer to the end of the season before finalizing their plans, with a focus certainly to be expected if Bale is able to maintain his current impressive form.
It is understood that he is interested in extending his second spell if an agreement can be reached with the North Londoners.
Bale’s best performance has been noted at his parent club and the departure of Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane could also lead to a change of mind and offer a return to the Bernabéu.
But for now, Madrid still await a permanent exit, to the Spurs or elsewhere, while a second loan from the Spurs could not be ruled out, although it would almost certainly require a renegotiation of terms.
The Spurs are currently paying around £ 250,000 out of Bale’s £ 650,000 weekly wages.
