Bale welcomes Madrid pre-season

Gareth Bale is pleased to be involved in pre-season with Real Madrid, believing it will allow him to reach greater heights than last year.

Bale moved late in last summer to Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur and Marca reports the Wales international as suggesting not having pre-season with Los Blancos hampered his campaign.

“It was much more difficult last season as I didn’t have pre-season. When you get back it’s difficult,” Bale said.

“But a lot of the players speak English and this has been very helpful to me. It was a very sudden change. It took me a bit of time to acclimatise but eventually I was very comfortable.

“I think this year will be better and I hope to achieve all my goals.

“I want to improve every season – give more assists, score more goals.”
