In case you didn’t know…
Last month, Courtois informed the media of Bale’s refusal to go out to dinner and socialise with his teammates, stating that the Welshman would rather play golf instead.
Bale is often criticised for his introverted nature off the pitch, with many slamming him for not learning Spanish to improve communication with his Los Blancos teammates.
Courtois added that while he has already begun living like someone who was born in Madrid, Bale, who has been in the capital since 2013, would not even attend dinners with his teammates.
The heart of the matter
Jenas has now hit out at Courtois for his comments on Bale, stating that the goalkeeper was “bang out of order” to say something like that in public.
Speaking exclusively to Goal, the former Spurs man said,
Jenas defended his former teammate, stating that he was always one to choose his family over going out with his teammates, and he never had a problem with that back in England.
The former English international went on to say that if he had a problem with a teammate, he would speak to them directly, instead of indirectly addressing it in the media.
Jenas added that it appears Bale is being made to look like the scapegoat in the team.
What’s next?
Real Madrid is scheduled to face Ajax in the second leg of their crucial Champions League Round of 16 fixture on Wednesday night.
