Bale Wants To Win All Six Trophies
Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale said that he wants to win all the six trophies on offer this campaign. As a result of winning the Copa del Rey and the Champions League last season, Madrid will be involved in six different competitions this campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo will also be hoping to lift several more trophies to add to his collection. This involves the possibility of winning the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup once again. Ronaldo has already lifted these titles as a Manchester United player, but for Bale, it will be a unique experience since it will be his first time.
Real will be taking on Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup at Cardiff city’s millennium stadium. This match also marks the return of Bale to the country of his birth. Speaking ahead of the encounter, the 24-year-old Welshman said that he is keen on lifting the title. Bale had a difficult start to his life at Madrid, but he soon became an important part of the team along with Ronaldo. Manager Carlo Ancelotti builds his attack with Ronaldo and Bale flanking from two sides. This proved extremely difficult for opposition to defend, as it was proved in the semi-final against Bayern Munich.
Despite being a dominant force, Bayern struggled to deal with the deadly counter-attack of Ronaldo and Bale.
“It’s a lot easier having a pre-season under your belt instead of waiting at home for a transfer to go through. I feel in much better shape this season. I feel I can start at a better tempo and performance so I’m looking forward to the season ahead. I feel in great shape. I don’t feel the pressure of being back home, it’s obviously a big match that we want to win and a trophy we want to win but it’s another game where I have to put 110% in to try and perform my best,” said Bale.
