Gareth Bale got angry during an interview with the BBC and left without saying goodbye. What did they ask him?
Wales failed to make Saturday’s semi-final match and are out of EURO 2020. Yet for Welsh football fans, the manner in which their favourites crashed out is perhaps even worse.
Wales failed to make Saturday’s semi-final match and are out of EURO 2020. Yet for Welsh football fans, the manner in which their favourites crashed out is perhaps even worse.
In fact, the team around Gareth Bale received a total of 4 goals, while not hitting the net once, and the players were very irritated at the end of the game, which translated into a quite unnecessary red card.
The slight irritation carried over into the post-match interview. The star striker himself was up for it and it didn’t go well at all.
BBC television first asked Gareth Bale, the Welsh captain, if he could summarise the course of the match.
“We started very well and for the first 25 minutes it went well. But then we got a goal and the game changed a bit. In the second half we tried to play but unfortunately we got another goal,” replied the disappointed Welsh striker.
Gareth Bale further stated that his teammates were quite frustrated with the way the game was going and that he saw nothing wrong with the way they tightened up the game towards the end. “I’d rather kick and scream than not try anything.”
The thirty-one year old forward also commented on the much-discussed foul that Kieffer Moore should have committed when setting up the second goal for Kasper Dolberg. “Yes, definitely. If you play the ball over someone’s back, it’s a foul.”
And he stayed with that theme by adding a few words to the head referee. “I think the referee was influenced by the large number of fans.”
Almost at the end of the interview, the captain praised his teammates for a great effort and then came the incriminating question of whether he had played his last game in a Wales jersey.
However, the commentator did not get an answer to this question, as Bale angrily turned around and walked away without a word.
