A little over a year ago -;August 21, 2016;a Real Madrid player who took a seat on the Anota stadium, turned to a teammate and bravely predicted: `Hey, look at that;in front of you is the winner of the Golden Ball for next year. He meant Gareth Bale.
The Welsh had just scored his second goal against Real Sociedad in one of his most accomplished games analyzed by sport news with the white team. In the absence of injured Cristiano Ronaldo, the role of a leader was taken over by Bale, and he began his most permanent period since joining Chamartin in July 2013. A period that lasted three months, while on November 22 kicking off from the central defender of Sporting Lisbon -;Sebastian Coates, sent an islander to the surgical table and put a pole in the wheel of his development.

From that evening in Lisbon, almost no more than 12 months ago, there was almost no sign of Gareth Bale. The striker does not stop harboring muscle injuries that have led him to the point of an impossible return to an attitude with mystery and drama situation. The last 28-year-old Welsh was given a training session with his national team on Thursday -;muscle fiber rupture in the left leg adduct -;and she plunges him mentally.
It is said that Bale -;very reserved and full professional according to his teammates -;has never been seen so ruined. None of his previous 18 injuries (15 of them muscular) have had such a mental impact. The appearance of a new problem in the left thigh -;a seemingly healthy area, led to Madrid calling the situation desperate. Since arriving here, the adductor has been the only unharmed part of Bale`s legs, who, according to Valdebabas`s acquaintances, had even overcome his chronical problems with his calf and trained at the level before that trauma in Lisbon. He was one of the best in most exercises, and his results in speed and stroke tests were very high.
So soon after creating such impressions, the emergence of a new break in a new zone and just before returning to play after a two-month absence could lead Bale to think even if he is no longer able to play elite football. This is what a prestigious physiotherapist, whose hands have gone through some of the best players in the world.

This series of injuries is straightforward, it should be completely crushed. When a player is so traumatized, he is not able to work without feeling that the next one is around the corner. He constantly wonders if he will not be out for a long time, and in the slightest pain, he or she even suffers injuries. However, they are the least important in this case. Stress influences physics. Contusions are reduced to thinking, said anonymity physiotherapist.
None of the previous traumas in Madrid have described the panorama in a similar way. The club is aware that at this point the break of muscle fibers and the expected three or four weeks of absence are the least important thing. The priority is to mentally rebuild your player. This is a new situation for Madrid, where they did not have a case like this with Arien Robben about a decade ago.

Overwhelm?
