🗣️Gareth Bale on his time in MLS with LAFC:
“Unfortunately a lot of players come over towards the end of their careers. I did the same, but I really loved my time here, I actually wish I came over earlier.”
“But if you’re getting offered a lot more money in Europe, you’re not really gonna take less salary to come here and grow the game unfortunately.”
“We’d all love to do that but it’s not really viable. It’s a job at the end of the day.”
“But if you can get more money into football in MLS and attract more players over, because you have the cities, the stadiums, the fanbase. But something’s not quite right yet.”
“My time in LA, I loved it, I loved traveling to those different cities. They are iconic. Going to New York, playing in LA, going to Texas. They’re cool places to go to, never mind playing football.”
“The appeal of living in a major city is amazing. For me to be able to come live in LA and experience that. My kids, my wife, my family, and me living there was cool.”
“And then to play and experience other things was really cool. And I’m lucky enough to win everything with LAFC that season. So I ticked the box.”
