"Real" Madrid's defender Gareth Bale claims that he experiences less pressure in the Spanish capital's team than in the "Tottenham" squad. The leader of the Welsh national team insists that it is easier to play within the ranks of the royal club, as the team's fate does not depend solely on his performance. "In the ranks of 'Tottenham' in London, I tried to get the ball and push the team forward, but in Madrid, everyone does it," - said the 24-year-old footballer. "Here I am surrounded by top-level footballers and I can focus on my performance. That's what I enjoy." G. Bale moved to "Los Blancos" for 91 million euros last summer, but at the beginning of the season, he found it difficult to integrate into the team. "It was hard not to train during the preseason. I missed many training sessions with the ball, I was not physically prepared. Only when I feel ready, I can show what I do best," - concluded G. Bale. The footballer played 15 matches this season in the squad of the royal club, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists.
