Gareth Bale was called up again by the Welsh national team for the next matches that the Welsh team will play in the future break for international competitions. Ryan Giggs's men will face Finland on Thursday, September 3, and three days later, on Sunday 6, they will host Bulgaria in Cardiff in the first two days of the new edition of the Nations League. The Welsh coach does not care about the limbo football in which the Real Madrid player is and he made it known throughout the press conference that he attended once his list of summoned was made public.
When asked about the Madrid player 11, Giggs was as diplomatic as possible: “For me, as their coach, it is nothing new. He hasn't had minutes and that's the way it has been for the last 18 months. I've had to deal with it. He (Gareth) is a good professional and always keeps fit. He has been available to me in every match in the qualifying round. Okay, I always say that you want your players to play regularly so they have competition rhythm. And I don't always have that. The way Gareth takes care of himself, gets focused and looks forward to playing has never been a problem until now. ” “
Asked about a possible departure for the Madrid player, Giggs was more conservative: “I haven't really discussed it with him. I chat with him (Bale) when he's in concentration. On the contrary, I let him move on. He is a player and a person experienced in handling the situation. So I don't want to add anything else. I talk to him in concentration to see how he is mentally and physically. He is always in good spirits and excited to be in concentration. He has never been a problem for me and it has been a pleasure working with him. When is it a concern for you? ¿Leave on loan before the Euro? It's something I adapt to. I'm never going to get the perfect squad or starting eleven. There is always something, a player who does not play or a late injury. I need to adapt. If it becomes a problem in six months, we will have to see it. I don't see that it is a problem for these games. Who knows what will happen in the future. He is always fit and wants to play. Sometimes his body doesn't allow him to play two games, but he always makes himself available to play ”.
