Gareth Bale and Jose Mourinho are not the most comfortable guys to say the least, and when the Welshman returned to Tottenham many predicted the blast would come at some point. After Bale behaved exemplary in the first few months, it seems that the few minutes of play have begun to frustrate the star, and the relationship between the two has begun to get complicated in recent days.
The reason for this lies in a post that Bale published before the cup game against Everton last night (Wednesday). As you may recall, the Spurs suffered a dramatic 5: 4 overtime to Topis when the winger was not included in Mourinho’s squad and that is why. “We played against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday and he did not play,” said the Portuguese. “On Monday he surprised me when he asked to have a muscle scan because he was not comfortable in the area and he did not train with the team.”
“On Tuesday he returned to practice with us,” Mourinho added. “But he asked to work with the medical staff for a few days in order to strengthen his problem areas and that is why he did not travel with us to the game.”
While his friends were making their way to Liverpool Bale posted a post on social media that put out his coach as the bad guy. The extremist was photographed during training when he wrote: “It was an excellent training”. As a result, many people pointed the finger at Mourinho, believing that Bale was fit to face Everton.
Now, it will be very interesting to see if Bale pays the price in the league game against Manchester City on Saturday. In any case, the Welshman is not considered a key player for the Roosters this season and has so far only been involved in just six Premier League games (opened in two games) in which he has contributed a single goal.
