Relaxed Bale can triumph at Real Madrid – Tottenham’s Falque

Tottenham’s Iago Falque is of the belief that teammate Gareth Bale will succeed at Real Madrid.

As the Welsh ace continues to be linked with a big-money move to the Santiago Bernabeu, Falque feels he has what it takes to become a superstar in Spain.

"It will depend on how he adapts, and other factors, but he has every attribute to triumph at Real Madrid," 23-year old Falque, who spent time with both Real’s and Barcelona’s youth academies, told radio programme El Larguero.

"He also has a lot of hunger because he still hasn't won the Ballon d'Or, and players like him never lose their ambition."

"I think Madrid is the right club for him because their style of play suits him perfectly, much more than Barcelona's would do."

Falque added: "Bale is a relaxed guy, very independent and very quiet. I don't think fame has affected him very much, he's quite a normal guy, he's not arrogant at all."

"I don't see much of him but he seems more serious now than in the past."
