Madrid's "Real" team had to come to terms with Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, but the "royal club" has another team star who will face much more pressure.
There is no doubt that Gareth Bale will have to replace the departed Portuguese. So far, the Welsh national team player has been doing very well and the shining footballer has earned compliments from Julen Lopetegui.
"I'm not going to talk about past seasons. Bale is dedicated, stable, and really wants to have a good season.
He trains well, is happy, and we are happy with him. All of this is just the beginning," said the strategist who joined "Real" this summer.
Last season, Bale once again endured a plethora of injuries, but managed to appear in 39 matches, scoring 21 goals and providing 7 assists.
