Bale Has To Do More – Rafael van der Vaart

Gareth Bale has to be an asshole to convince everyone that he was worth the €100 million Real Madrid paid for him, according to former Spurs player, Rafael van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart revealed that Bale has been too modest — and needs to know his standing in the game.

His words, “It’s strange, but in Holland we say that sometimes you need to be an a—h—,”

“You can also be a positive a—h—

“He’s worth €100m — they paid a lot of money and he has to do it. In his last year at Spurs, he took every free-kick, he decided everything. That’s what he has to do [at Real]. I realise it’s difficult, because you have so many good players, but he should do it more.”

Bales agent also said, “Gareth is an amazing player but he’s a person that has to feel the confidence,”

“He has to feel he is welcome.

“But I know Real is a difficult club if you don’t perform. It doesn’t matter if you’re Ronaldo, Bale or Van der Vaart — they’ll throw you out after just one year.

“You have to deal with it — and I don’t know if he can do that. I know him as a person and, with a Spurs hat, I always hope he’ll say: ‘Okay, I’ll come back.’ I don’t think it’s going to happen, but that would be a nice story.”
