The Wales international has nothing but praise for
the prolific attacker and has stressed that his hefty
price tag will not affect him
Gareth Bale has stated that the presence of
Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid was one of the
reasons why he joined the Liga giants and added
that he's looking forward to playing alongside the
Portugal star.
The 24-year-old signed a six-year deal with the
Blancos on Monday to complete his €100 million
move from Tottenham and he's keen to team up
with the former Manchester United star.
"For me Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the
world," Bale said at a press conference. "His
presence played a big part in my decision to join
Madrid. It will be an honour to play alongside him.
"What about penalties and free-kicks? Ronaldo is
the boss here at Madrid. Let's see what he says.
"I don't need to help Ronaldo to be the best in the
world - he has already shown it."
The Welshman then went on to stress that his
hefty price-tag does not put any extra pressure on
him and added that he's determined to help Madrid
win silverware.
"The transfer fee is not something that affects me.
It's something between Madrid and Spurs. It only
brings extra pressure if I want it to.
"The biggest pressure here is to help Madrid win
trophies. I want to win silverware here and help the
club win the Champions League."
Bale could make his official Madrid debut away
against Villarreal on September 13 after the
international break.
