So Zinedine Zidane finally got what he wanted, and it’s probably best for everyone involved that Gareth Bale leaves Real Madrid. But Florentino Pérez cannot be very happy if you look at what kind of signing Gareth Bale was and how it turned out.
Because even though Pérez had taken over when Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in 2009, it was not his signing. It was former president Ramón Calderón who made that deal possible, and a few years later Gareth Bale would somehow become Pérez Ronaldo. And the signing was huge, but unfortunately it would turn out that injury problems were too, and he probably could have gotten even more out of his time at Real Madrid if it weren’t for the broken body.
That said, it certainly hasn’t been bad, on the contrary. But the injuries added to the recent controversies still make it feel like Pérez totally failed with his great signing.

Bale has played more than 250 games for Real Madrid, has scored more than a hundred goals and has contributed powerfully to several of the titles the club has won since his arrival.
Not least the 2018 Champions League when the final begins on the bench, arrives with half an hour to play and scores two goals, one of which is probably the most beautiful final goal ever seen. He wins that trophy for them, is named the lira of the match, and then says at the press conference that he wants to leave due to tight playing time.
And while no one seems to really know why Zinedine Zidane and Gareth Bale’s relationship has always been troublesome to say the least, this didn’t directly help put him on the right keel, even if you say so. Since then, almost more has been said about his golf game than his soccer game, he himself has helped to dilute the image that he no longer cares and in July it seemed that he was taking a strong nap in the stands when he played the real Madrid. against Alavés. Then he smiled.
Somewhere it was time to realize that this is no longer possible. It doesn’t matter how much quality is in him when he’s fit and motivated, because he is neither one nor the other at this moment.

Two years passed after that last Champions League title and press conference in Kiev, the playing time was even longer and Real Madrid now agreed to loan Bale for one year and continue to pay 60 percent of salary, apparently. That says a lot about how little they want him in Valdebebas, instead, he’s back in Tottenham after seven years.
And it’s great that he’s home again and all that, but absolutely The most important thing with his return to Spurs is still that he leaves Real Madrid, and that he will probably be allowed to return to playing football on a fairly continuous basis. That’s probably the only thing you can do right now to try to save yourself from the sad figure that you have become.
