So the harsh comment only applies one way here? I don't know why I've bothered to log in after a break from here to reply, but don't you think players like Bale who rely on explosive pace should be looked after? "They only train and moan when they play 2 games a week I work on a building site 50 hours a week" blah blah.
It takes exeptional sacrifice to get where a lot of them get, and the levels they perform at ain't the same as a few fat blokes playing twice a week in the south Wales amateur league.
They perform to a standard and its not just 180 minutes a week and fun and games in between.
I know lads that hold down full time jobs and play a shit standard of football, when the games pile up they play 2 and 3 games a week at the end of the season to complete the fixtures, takes it out of them no doubt but let's be real it's **** all compared to what the top players, that have international obligations as well, put in.
