“Their attitude after defeat is much more relaxed”, Bale said about American teams on BT Sport on June 21. “In Real, if you lose, the whole world falls apart. You go home unhappy. But in America, they accept it easier”.

According to Bale, American players are less disappointed after the loss because they do not have to suffer the consequences. Football in this country does not have many professional teams and has not forced the bottom teams to be relegated. “In America, when you lose a game, you’re simply looking forward to the next one,” added Bale.

Bale joined American football when he joined Los Angeles FC in July 2022. He and the club won the MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, before retiring in January 2023. Bale’s peak lasted from 2013 to 2022, with Real winning three La Liga and five Champions Leagues.
