Bale, playing 1 minute to earn 88,000 euros.
On January 4, the Newspaper ass set its sights on Bell. Today, Real Madrid is ranked No. 1 in La Liga, but fans seem to have forgotten the existence of one person: 32-year-old Gareth Bale. Since August 29 last year, Bale has "played disappearing" and has never played for Real Madrid again.
The Ass newspaper gave the stats: Under Carlo Ancelotti, Bale only played 193 minutes. When will the Welsh superstars make a comeback? No one knows. At the beginning of 2022, Bale declared muscle discomfort and missed Real Madrid's La Liga match against Getafe. Real Madrid believe that Bale can return on January 8 (the Real Madrid vs Valencia match), but the player himself is used to "paddling" - as long as he is a little uncomfortable, he hangs up the exemption card.
Bale last made his debut for Real Madrid on August 28 last year, when Real Madrid beat Betis 1-0. For the next 140 days, Bell's body always had all kinds of problems, flounder muscles, knees, ankles, thigh muscles, calf muscles... Even Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti can't figure out what is going on with Bale.
At Real Madrid, Bale is a top-paid player with an annual salary of up to 17 million euros. The Newspaper as As has calculated that Bale will play only 193 minutes at Real Madrid in 2021, with a salary of 17 million euros. In other words, Bale played 1 minute and Real Madrid had to burn 88,000 euros! This is Bale's after-tax salary, and for Real Madrid, the pre-tax expenditure has to be multiplied by 2, which is almost 180,000 euros per minute.
In the summer of 2013, Real Madrid brought in Bale for a transfer fee of 101 million euros, which is one of the masterpieces of Florentino's superstar policy. After the glory, Bell quickly fell into decadence. At present, this Real Madrid team, Bale's playing time ranks 20th, only better than Isco, Mariano and Vallejo. Real Madrid fans lost faith in Bale, calling him a "repulsive player".
In half a year, Bale's contract with Real Madrid will expire, and Real Madrid can also get rid of this super burden. For Bale, it doesn't matter if he can play, he doesn't care about that. Half a year at Real Madrid, getting a salary of half a year's contract (8.5 million euros) and trying to catch up with the World Preliminary Tournament play-offs in Wales (March 24-29) is what Bale cares about most.
