MADRID, 24 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The captain of the Welsh soccer team, Gareth Bale, was “very happy” with the double he got this Thursday to take his team to the final of the ‘playoff’ for the World Cup in Qatar and stated that the two goals are not a claim because “you don’t” need to “send messages to anyone”.
“I don’t need to send messages to anyone. It would be a waste of my time, they should feel ashamed. It’s unpleasant,” Bale told Sky Sports after the win over Austria (2-1) that gave them the ticket to the final.
“It was a sensational match. We knew how big the game was and we had to play accordingly, go deeper and look at our experience in these appointments,” Bale said. “It was a perfect setting. It was nice to see the free kick go in, get an early goal and give us momentum,” he added.
“I had a bit of a cramp at the end of the game, but I will always give everything for this country. We all will. We can enjoy tonight. It’s half a job done, but it’s still a very difficult game against Scotland or Ukraine. We’ll rest for that and we’ll be ready”, commented the Real Madrid player.
Asked about his first goal, a direct free kick from the edge of the box, Bale said it was “an incredible feeling” to score like that. “It’s been a while since I scored one. It was nice to see him come in and get us off to a good start. It will be nice to see him again because I haven’t seen him. I’m sure he’ll do well on TV,” he concluded.
