Here is “Functional kick and runner” Gareth Bale with no pace

Finished Bale got: Same number of goals per game Near half as many minutes per goal Greater shooting accuracy Better defensive stats Than a Prime Mo Salah. Let’s not compare them ever again because it’s embarrassing

lol, Bale was a complete attacker. His physicality (height, strength) combined with insane pace and of course his technical abilty (great dribbling, wonderful passing range, freekicks, ability to shoot from distance and great finishing in the box) made him complete.

Would argue he’s the 3rd greatest player of this generation and people are comparing him to shin-dribblers like Salah

"couldn't operate in tight spaces" tho 🤣🤣🤣

i actually can’t believe covid robbed fans of seeing him

Sill can't believe he came back and we never got to see it in person

Bale disrespect is so crazy because profile wise he’s easily the closest player I’ve seen to CR

That was such a weird year. Dead empty stadiums and Bale sort of lumbering at times but also seeming like a when you play against kids. Never looked dead serious more like a guy staying in shape…all in the prem

Kane and Bale to “Brennan” and “Dom” uno

Fucking phenomenal. Such a shame the crowds weren’t there to show him how much he was loved.
