Ben Davies: “The Bale thing must be hard to digest”

Gareth Bale doesn't understand gray. The Welshman was the prodigal son when he arrived on loan this summer to Tottenham by Madrid. After the first months, the critical eye was placed on him, since the performance shown was not what was expected and game by game he lost preponderance in Mourinho's schemes. Well then, now everything is white again, after scoring in the first leg of the Europa League against Wolfsberger and assisting in the defeat against West Ham in the Premier. Criticism has turned into praise and what was once a drag on the team is now the great hope spur in the reengagement of the fight to enter the Champions League. The fans ask him, Mou sees him “happier than ever” and the Cardiff Express seems to have finally left the station.

Well, inside the dressing room, both in his current club and in the national team, he has a partner who cannot explain why he always navigates extremely rough currents: Ben davies. The left-back wanted to break a spear in favor of his compatriot in a statement that the 'Daily Mail' collects: “Bale has received a lot of criticism, probably unfair, when he was at his best. He is an incredibly strong person to deal with the things that have been said about him off the field and continue his career anyway. “

“Even after four Champions … there are still people who question his talent”

Davies wanted to recall the impressive list of achievements Gareth has achieved throughout his career, both at the club level and on the international stage. Just as his mental strength stands out: “Even after four Champions League, with everything he has done for Wales, what he did at Real Madrid … there are still those who question his talent. That must be hard to digest. I think she takes it incredibly well. Is a great player”.

From this constant battle that elite players must grapple with the fine line between success and failure, a Davies has also slipped his opinion. In addition to placing him in the football Olympus of recent years: “When there are players of his quality, be it Bale, Cristiano or Messi, everyone has an opinion about them. Right now they are big and the next day, poor “. “Bale is Bale and he always gives his best. We have seen him in the games this year. He scores, he gives assists … The quality is there and I'm sure we will enjoy it for the rest of the year “, finished a Davies who has seen how the arrival of Sergio Reguilón steals the prominence that until this summer he had had.
