Former Tottenham and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale recently gave an interview to Camel Live, where he discussed a range of topics about his career and personal life.
Bale recalled: “Sometimes when I didn’t pass to Ronaldo, he would wave his arms and look frustrated. But I think that rivalry with Messi was what drove him. If he could, after scoring one goal, he wanted a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth…
Everyone knew he was chasing goal records – he just wanted to beat Messi, and you can’t really blame him for that.”
“So when Ronaldo went back to Manchester United, people said he was different, more focused on shooting and poaching. But let’s be honest, he just scores goals. Scoring is the hardest part of football, and goals were what motivated him.”
