Reguilon shocked as Tottenham dug special golf holes for Bale

Published




Former Real Madrid left-back, Sergio Reguilon has been left stunned by Tottenham’s alleged decision to create special golf holes for returnee, Gareth Bale.

Bale who rejoined Spurs in the summer on a season-long loan after a fall-out with coach Zinedine Zidane has been vocal about his love for golf.

The Welshman risked the wrath of supporters when he held up a ‘Golf, Wales, Madrid’ banner while away on international duty.

After the fallout with Madrid, he was welcomed back by Jose Mourinho at Spurs and he repaid the favour by scored his first goal for Spurs in the 2-1 victory  Brighton on Sunday.

The Spanish full-back told Cadena Ser of his team-mate’s improved mood since returning to Spurs: “He seems different to me. The language is everything for him. He speaks Spanish well, it’s not bad, a bit like me in English, but communication, the habits, mean he’s happier in England… I have no idea if he’ll return (to Madrid).

“What most surprised me is at Spurs’ training ground there are golf holes. I asked about it and they told me they were put there for him! They’re short holes, maybe 30 metres. I couldn’t believe it!”

Reguilon was likely referring to the mini-golf green which has reportedly been in place at Tottenham’s training ground for many years, Goal reports.

Asked to offer an insight into his relationship with the Portuguese, Reguilon responded: “Great… I like this kind of demanding, intense coach. When we don’t do what he wants he gets angry, like any coach… he’s really close to the players.”

The former Madrid star who also joined Spurs on a permanent deal in September went on to discuss how he has adjusted to life in England before addressing the possibility of returning to the Bernabeu in the future.

“It gets dark at five o’clock! It’s a different league and style but I adapt well to new situations… I get on great with my team-mates. Son [Heung-min] and [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg are good guys,” he added.

“Madrid is my home and where I grew up. In the future, you never know but the possibility is there… I didn’t speak to the boss (Zidane), it was more with the club. I know what they think of me, I had to take a decision.

“Time will tell. I didn’t ask for explanations.”
