Bale to Inter 'Future? For now all I will say...'
He is the most sought after Welshman in Europe. Gareth Frank Bale is ready for the game against Inter and spoke on the eve of the Champions League match.
How did you react after scoring the 2-0 against Manchester?
It was a complicated situation. We do not understand what happened, but after that goal match was decided. This time we were unlucky, maybe in the future we will be more fortunate. Now we will face Inter.
With what motivations?
Challenging the European champions is fantastic. We have a lot of motivation and want to do well. Given what happened in the first round. For us it is the most important thing. We can not repeat the first half at San Siro. A good start will serve as a platform to move forward. We must not concede a goal, then we'll see what happens.
Would you have preferred instead of a triplet one goal per game over the next three challenges?
It was great to score this hat-trick at San Siro and we talked about it a lot, but I prefer to score a goal in a game that ends 1-0.
Are you getting used to playing in the Champions?
Already against Young Boys we understood that we can not afford mistakes. We are a young team and we will try to learn quickly.
What will it be like playing against Maicon, one of the best right backs in the world?
Maicon is a great player, but there will be other great battles and we will try to win them for the three points. It will be a good match.
Do you think you might go abroad in the future?
I do not read what the media write. I have a great desire to play, at the moment I play for Tottenham and want to improve in training because I know I have to make some progress. And I focus only on that.
Redknapp says you will become the world's best left-back, while Jol called it a winger. Do you prefer to attacking or defending?
I like to play more in front because it gives me the opportunity to score, but I like to play, that’s what I want.
In recent weeks there has been much talk about you and should adapt to being marked closer.
Yes I have to work a lot, like all the players. 2-3 go to Ronaldo but he still manages to be decisive. I have to learn that too.
What has changed?
I always had faith in myself and playing I strengthened this conviction. My agent and my family have been close giving me confidence. I have always known I have good characteristics and only had to put them into practice.
Has your life changed since you scored a hat-trick in Milan?
For me nothing has changed. I do what I always did. Scoring this hat-trick was nice, but it has not changed my life.
Is tomorrow’s match the most important?
It’s important and we need a good result. If we could always win it would be perfect, but we must think about one game at a time.
