A Bale of two stories

There is no way of calming the tension. The thing is the Bale, Madrid and Wales situation continues after recent comments from the 'Cardiff Express'. 

Prior to the match against Slovakia, Gareth said the following: "I'm more excited about playing for Wales than for Real Madrid. It is like playing with your friends in the park on a Sunday, it's normal."

A justification which has really surprised the Real Madrid fans, who are hoping the footballer returns on fire from his national team as the Clasico against Barca is just around the corner. 

At the moment, Bale is completely different when he plays for his club or country. He looks more motivated and happy when playing for his country while he looms glum in Spain. He has not played for 'Los Blancos' for more than a month and a half. 

'Sport', pointed out that Real Madrid were thinking about banning him even without pay after training normally for Wales. 

Carvajal and Kroos, among others, stood up for the Welshman, who has a good chance of starting against Azerbaijan to try and help Wales qualify for Euro 2020.
