Style of play
Gareth Bale started as a left back. It was when he got to Tottenham Hotspur that "Harry Redknapp" decided to utilise his pace and experimented him as a left winger.
Bale is known for his pace, stamina and agility.
In the aspect of technique, Bale has good ball control and he is a free-kick specialist which is evident in his 2 goals from free kick against Olympique Lyon,
Very good in 1v1 situation that most managers employ at least 2 players to stop Bale whenever he is on the ball and recently developed this habbit of scoring from outside the penalty box.
He has been described as a footballer with enormous speed, great crossing ability, and an exceptional left foot and great physical qualities".
On 2 November 2010, after a Champions League group stage game against Inter milan, former teammate Rafael van der Vaart said, "Everyone is scared of him. Maicon is one of the best defenders, and bale;s killed him."
Redknapp made more good comments on Bale in October 2012, saying that he's in the same class as both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He said:
"He's an amazing, amazing talent and he's after the Ronaldos and Messis of this world and he's getting better and better. He's almost unplayable when he's on his game. He is a genuine world-class player. There's nobody he couldn't play for. He'd improve any team."
However, Bale has been accused of diving by sections of the British media.
