Real Madrid has already put an end to its pre-season tour of the United States. After the three games played against Barcelona (defeat), América (draw) and Juventus (victory), Carlo Ancelotti’s men will enjoy a few days of rest before returning to training in Valdebebas to prepare for the final of the European Super Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt next August 10 and the beginning of the League, whose first match will be away against Almería on Sunday 14.
The preseason has left very positive things for Carletto, but also things that still need to be improved. The two new signings this summer, Tchouaméni and Rudiger, played their first minutes as madridistas and left very good feelings. Both are expected to start as substitutes in the European Super Cup, since the Italian coach assured that he will have the team that lifted the Champions League on May 28.
The merengue team will have a week to prepare for the match against the Germans before traveling to Helsinki with the aim of winning the first title of the season. The Whites arrive plugged in after the great preseason held in the United States and eager for the new season to begin.
The unexpected visit that the madridistas had in training
In the last training session prior to the match against Juventus (2-0), which was the last to end the preseason, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad received an old acquaintance. Gareth Bale took advantage of the team’s stay in Los Angeles to greet his former teammates. The Welshman was very affectionate with all the players and also with his former coach and coaching staff.
The 32-year-old soccer player ended his contract with Real Madrid on June 1 and signed for Los Angeles Football Club to thus end his stage as an elite player. And far from having gone out with bad rolls, Bale fondly guards his nine years in the Spanish capital and he greatly appreciates all his former teammates with whom he won so many titles as a madridista.
Gareth Bale arrived at Chamartín in the summer of 2013 from Tottenham. In this almost decade that he has been at Real Madrid, the Welshman has won 3 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey, 3 Spanish Super Cups, 5 Champions Leagues, 3 European Super Cups and 4 Club World Cups.
