Bale thinks retirement, says: I’m not getting any younger

Tottenham ace, Gareth Bale, has said this coming World Cup could be his last shot at a big tournament.

Wales play the Czech Republic in Cardiff on Tuesday seeking their first points in Group E after an opening defeat to Belgium.

Bale and company still have this summer’s delayed European Championship finals to look forward to, but Tottenham’s Wales captain will be 33 by the time of the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.

“I haven’t really thought too much past this campaign,” said Bale, who insisted he had not been “disrespectful” last week when outlining his end-of-season plans to see out the final year of his Real Madrid contract.

“Obviously, there’s no hiding we are getting older and possibly it is the last campaign. If it is, then it won’t change my mindset. I’m going to be 100 per cent committed like always.

“We still have a big tournament to play in the summer and then continue with these qualifiers after. I’m purely focused on the present and what is happening now. Whatever will happen in the future will happen.”
