Bale is being greedy and asking for too much.

(Baonghean) - After a lackluster year playing for Real Madrid and facing immense pressure from teammates and fans, it seemed that Bale would no longer have a place in the Real Madrid squad at the end of the season. However, with Florentino Perez and the new head coach determined to keep him, the Welsh winger has seized the opportunity to demand Ronaldo's position, a truly unreasonable demand that will undoubtedly make things even more difficult for Bale in the upcoming season…

Looking back at the past season, while both new and old stars have been in very consistent form, the most expensive player on the planet has only brought utter disappointment. Furthermore, with his selfish nature, the former Tottenham player has often ruined several of Real's matches. Remember the game against Celta Vigo, while Ronaldo had plenty of space to run without the ball, when he finally got possession, the former Tottenham player didn't pass but instead dribbled and shot inaccurately. If it had been a win, it wouldn't have been a problem, but Real needed points and lost. Or in Real Madrid's victory against Getafe, Bale angered Ronaldo by shooting wide in a situation where a side pass would have resulted in a goal. And in the 1-2 defeat against Valencia, Bale also frustrated Ronaldo and Benzema with a similar handling error. Therefore, many believe that when the season ends, Real will say goodbye to this winger.

However, looking at the team's strategy from a broader perspective, keeping Bale is perfectly logical. After all, the Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo is already 30 years old, a player considered to be past his prime. Therefore, no matter how hard he trains, the Portuguese player will likely only be able to contribute to Real Madrid for a few more seasons at his peak. Meanwhile, Bale is only 25, the prime age for a player's career, which is why the owner of the Spanish royal club is keeping him. Moreover, with the expensive contract to bring Bale in, letting him go now would not only be a loss but also show a failure in the transfer campaign.

Those reasons led to the decision to keep Bale at the stadium… But what's noteworthy is that after being retained by the owner, the Welsh player repeatedly made statements that were considered inappropriate given the current circumstances. Especially his public demand for the left wing position – a position that for many years had been considered untouchable when superstar Ronaldo was playing so successfully. When saying this, Bale probably didn't think about the unpredictable consequences that awaited him. Because when he himself couldn't perform, played selfishly, and frustrated his teammates, while Ronaldo, despite his age, had contributions to Real Madrid that were unmatched. Moreover, Ronaldo's influence was too great; even with the owner's favoritism, if he continued to be so demanding, he would certainly be isolated again.
