Why Real Madrid Fans Do not Always Love Gareth Bale

At the end of last year, Gareth Bale won his third World Club Cup in Abu Dhabi. It was his 12th trophy in five years at Real Madrid. This course includes four leagues of champions and he has been decisive in three finals of the Cup of Europe. Sunday, he scored his 99th goal of Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo, aside, no importer from Madrid Galatico can live with the record of Basel and he is the most successful football exporter of England by far. However, when the Spanish media interviewed fans late last year to find out who should be left behind to make room for young Vinicius Junior, Bale came first.

If the vote were taken now, the result could be different with Isco, since he has been scrambling with supporters. And the consolation for Bale, who thinks he did not win the hearts and minds of Bernabeu, is that no one really does.

Gareth Bale is still fighting to convince many fans of Real Madrid, five years after his signature

One of Bale's recent exploits for Real has been to score a hat trick in the semifinals of the Club World Cup.

It still seems to him sometimes that he's wearing the box while he's not the culprit. A columnist of a Spanish sports newspaper investigated the 3-0 defeat of Real Madrid against the Champions League by CSKA Moscow in December; Bale did not start the match and only entered the half when the score was 2-0; and yet it was the image used in the article of a whole page.

The caption read as follows: "Bale is complaining of ankle pain. Something was bothering him. This little game did not interest him.

He was accused of incarnating Madrid's lethargy in the worst result of their home run in the Champions League. All this despite not being on the field in the first half and not being injured in second.

When he won a hat trick in the World Cup semi-finals, some media wondered if he had not spared for the tournament, instead of giving him the credit for To have placed Madrid in another finals.

One of the reasons the pressure is rising on Bale and moans towards him this season have increased is the need for someone to enter the big personality vacuum left by Ronaldo.

The club has chosen not to sign any contract this summer, believing that the arrival of an Eden Hazard would limit opportunities for Isco and Marco Asensio. Even without Hazard, the two young Spaniards, when they are fit, have been very disappointing.

Isco in particular has had a nightmare season. There had been controversy earlier in the campaign when he appeared to refuse to wear the captain's armband after Marcelino was kidnapped during a match.

He has won the Champions League four times, making him the best British exporter of all time.

His shot over the head almost won the final last year and is one of the biggest goals of the competition.

Despite his repeated exploits, Bale is still not universally adored at Bernabeu

The captain of Real Madrid is still the player on the field who has been to the club the longest. It should have been Isco and his follower appeared after appearing in front of supporters who taunted him behind the goal after getting hurt. The 26-year-old has been a darling of home helpers for a long time.

If Isco can be criticized by local fans, then everyone can do it. It's a club where Zidane and Ronaldo have also suffered the wrath of fans. Ronaldo was booed at Bernabeu well after his nine seasons campaign.

If someday it comes back in some capacity, the answer would be debatable. He recently spoke of the mood in the dressing room of Juventus at the expense of the situation that he left behind at Real.

He made enemies at the club by taking phsyio Javier Santamaria with him to Juventus.

The club has in turn removed it from the club's television channel as much as possible. Any tribute to another player who has already included a Ronaldo sequence providing help is replaced by a help from another player.

The record of his injury is part of the problem, some fans of Real questioning his desire.

Bale is not the only one to have failed to win the adulation of notoriously difficult to satisfy the fans, however

If Ronaldo's legacy is debatable, what will Bale be? Ronaldo was almost always present in Madrid after joining in 2009.

But these 450 goals in 438 matches were not enough for them to order a status or to rename a stand. Bale has been all but present.

Some people think that it is this tendency to heal wounds that drops his rank among fans. Should he walk through brick walls to make the cause different?

The apparent physical weaknesses affect her image, but what Bale has almost always managed to do, is to be in shape for the big matches.

He returned to the Club World Cup semifinal against Kashima Antlers and had a hat-trick in 60 minutes before playing the full match in the final against Al-Ain by winning the No.12 Trophy.

But when he finally leaves Madrid, few people can argue that Bale has been a success.

When he finally leaves Madrid, there will be a lot of silverware to bring back to Wales or where he hangs shirt No. 11.

It will leave a lot of Madrid fans cold during his departure, but he can also leave them with a tweet filled with trophies emojis.

They may be overtaken by Bale, but the costly foreign imports that follow him will do well to match his list of honors and, judging by the recent Madrid return in his form, he maybe not finished yet.
