Gareth Bale more ‘complete’ than Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester United’s Casemiro

Published

on

Manchester United’s former Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro says Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer he has played with – but that Gareth Bale is the “most complete”.

Casemiro, 34, won five Champions League titles during nine stellar years at Real and has spent the last four years at Old Trafford.

The 84-cap Brazil international says Wales legend Bale is the finest all-round player he has played alongside.

“Cristiano scores a minimum 15 goals [every season] but Bale is attack, defend, heads, scores,” Casemiro told the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast., external

“Cristiano is the best, he’s in another world. Take Cristiano out of the conversation. But for me Bale is the best, more complete player.

“Everything he does [is] very good. Very quick. Too strong. For me Bale is unbelievable.”

New coach, new players, but same old failings hamper Scotland

Published

on

Scotland fans came to Hampden to welcome the new man, Sebastien Pocognoli, and left with all the woes of old weighing them down as they went.

More calamitous defending in the beginning, another self-inflicted wound that was a complete game-changer, another day without a goal – four in a row now.

In the early minutes when Jack Hendry got himself sent off, we may as well have been back amid the meltdown of Miami. Then, Scotland gifted Brazil one goal and then two when they made a fiendishly-difficult job an impossible one on the back of slapstick in defence.

So it was again on Tuesday. Hendry’s red card was a grim moment that sucked the life out of the occasion.

Switzerland don’t lose many games. Argentina had the devil’s own job in seeing them off in extra-time at the World Cup. Germany beat them 4-3 in a friendly, the winner only coming in the 85th minute.

They’re full of nous and strength and belief. Their coach, Murat Yakin, has the calm authority of a man who knows, with absolute certainty, that his team will prevail.

Once the opening goal went in, Yakin turned around in his technical area with a half-smile on his face. Job done, already.
