The Real Madrid locker room is reportedly experiencing some tension following the team’s recent defeats against Barcelona and Sevilla FC. According to reports from the Spanish daily AS, certain senior players within Carlo Ancelotti’s squad are expressing frustration with Gareth Bale. They criticize Bale for his perceived tendency to prioritize shooting on goal in every situation, rather than opting for more collaborative play to benefit the team.
Teammates have allegedly approached Bale, urging him to prioritize teamwork over individualism and to consider passing to better-positioned teammates instead of always attempting to score himself. This criticism comes in the wake of Bale’s missed free kick against Sevilla FC, which stirred controversy midweek.
In moments of difficulty, it’s not uncommon for teams to look for a scapegoat to explain their struggles.
