Gareth Bale unwilling to play for LAFC as well as he did in Real Madrid?

Los Angeles FC newcomers Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini will be sidelined in Thursday night's home game against DC United.

This is the second game in a row that neither of Los Angeles' two new stars have appeared on the bench.

Bale, 33, and Chiellini, 38, are both listed as "out" due to load management. This is the official information that LAFC posted on its website.

While Bale has yet to feature on the starting lineup, he already has two MLS goals to his name in just four appearances off the bench.

Bale did not play for Real Madrid either

Although the official information from LAFC says that Bale does not play because they prepare well the physical workloads of the Welshman, his absence in two games in a row reminds us of when the striker did not play in Real Madrid either.

Bale won everything with Real Madrid, but even so his attitude several times left much to be desired, even Zinedine Zidane once stated that he did not want him in the team, but the high salary and the very expensive transfer asked by the white team prevented Bale from leaving the club.

In 2020 Bale goes on loan to Tottenham and returns in 2021 to Madrid, where he did not have many minutes with Carlo Ancelotti.

Bale's arrival at LAFC

On June 25, Bale's arrival in Los Angeles became official, his debut came on July 18 against Nashville. He has two goals in four games played, he has not started any of them and has only played 96 minutes.
