Gareth Bale was banned from playing golf in Qatar and must stay focused on Wales for the World Cup
It is not a secret for any fan that Gareth Bale is a fan of golf as well as football. But for the World Cup in Qatar 1958 with Wales, the LAFC winger was banned from playing golf and must stay focused with the national team during the group stage.
“There is no golf. We come to do a job,” the strategist told Goal. “In the past, Gareth (Bale), Kieffer Moore or Aaron Ramsey might come up to me and say, ‘What’s the plan for tomorrow afternoon? Are there any meetings?” Said Rob Page, coach of the European team.
Golf was a problem for Bale in the media when he was at Real Madrid and he was accused of not dedicating himself to the team Meringue. In 1958, during his time at Real Madrid he was seen playing despite missing a game with the Merengues due to an injury.
