José Mourinho criticized former club Real Madrid for the LaLiga club’s treatment of Gareth Bale after the Welsh winger scored his first goal since returning to Tottenham.
Bale scored the winner in Spurs’ 2-1 win over Brighton on Sunday night to push North Londoners to second place in the Premier League table.
The 31-year-old had an icy end to his Real Madrid career after being exiled by Zinedine Zidane, and the Spanish club said goodbye to the Welshman with just a 44-word exit statement in September.

And after Brighton’s victory, Mourinho said: ‘I’m very happy for him, especially for him because he deserves it. When I have five minutes, I go to Safari to look at the Madrid websites to see what they say.
He knows that we care about him and we know that he cares about us, the team and the club, Spurs. He fits in perfectly, he’s very calm, very intelligent, he has good feelings. ‘
Bale spent seven years at Real Madrid, where he won two LaLiga titles, four Champions League trophies and three Club World Cups, but had a difficult relationship with the LaLiga club hierarchy and fans towards the end of his term.

The Welsh international winger came in and out of Zidane’s squad and infuriated the Madrid fans when he stood alongside a ‘Wales. Golf. Madrid: The In That Order banner in celebration while in international service last year.
After being excluded by Zidane from Madrid’s preparations in the 2020-21 season, Bale secured a transfer on loan to Spurs for the current season, where he played before his £ 90 million move to Spain.
When announcing Bale’s departure, a statement from the Madrid club said: ‘Real Madrid CF and Tottenham Hotspur FC have agreed on the loan of Gareth Bale for the next season, until June 30, 2021.

“Our club wishes the best of luck to a player who is part of one of the most successful periods in our history.”
After scoring the winning goal against Brighton on Sunday, Mourinho claims that Bale is not yet ready to start a Premier League match at this point, but that status could change soon.
Mourinho added: ‘He had bad feelings before, because the training process was tough and his body was suffering a bit, but we gave him what he needs as a whole.
‘I’m talking about sports science, medicine, my assistants, the other players. I am very happy that he scored this winning goal.

I’ve already said it for about a week, I’m saying it’s getting better. It’s not just by looking at it, the data supports our training process. We knew. The good news is that Gareth knows it too. We share ideas and we share feelings.
“ He still doesn’t have 90 minutes of a Premier League match on his legs so we are using the Europa League to complement his training process.
“We are using some matches in the Premier League when we decide to play with him and the normal tendency for him will of course be to get better and better.
“I’ll always be this careful with him until we feel like he’s ready.”
