Gareth Bale Quotes

Anything is possible in football.
As a kid, you obviously dream of being a professional footballer. I would watch players like Ronaldo of Brazil and pretend to be him in the playground. But I don't think about trying to become one of the best in the world or anything like that. I just play football.
As long as I'm playing week in week out, I'm going to become a better player.

Every second I'm on the pitch for Wales is an honour, and I love playing.
Every time I pull on a Madrid or Wales top, I run myself into the ground.
Everyone knows that I like to play centrally, where I can drift around. I like coming in off the right flank and having more freedom. I don't mind playing on the left, although I prefer playing centrally or on the right.
I always believed in my ability, but I think in any sport you need that little bit of luck.

I don't think you ever feel 100 percent throughout a season. If you ask any player, I don't think they ever feel 100 percent fresh every week.
I like looking after my family.
I love playing for Wales.
I play computer games, watch TV and do what normal people do.
I probably prefer Spanish football to the others. It's very technical, the way they play; they keep the ball well, and whenever Spurs have played against Spanish teams in the past, they've always made it difficult for us.
I still mess around and joke with my family and friends like I did when I was nine or 10. For me, nothing's changed. Sure, I play football, but I try to keep my life off the pitch as simple as possible.
I think La Liga is the best league in the world.
I was never too much into school. I liked lunchtimes and breaks, but nah, I hated sitting at a desk. I was always looking out of the window, looking at my watch, thinking about when I could play football.
