This upcoming soccer season, the legendary soccer star Lionel Messi will be heading to the United States to join the MLS squad Inter Miami. And as he makes the transition from the European leagues to MLS, he’s getting a little advice from Gareth Bale, who also made the transition a few years ago.
Hilariously, Gareth Bale pointed to one key thing that sets the MLS apart from European soccer: “They accept losing a lot better of there.”
“It is a lot more chilled,” Bale told BT Sport. “If you lose at Real Madrid, it is like the world has ended. You are crucified. You feel down. You go home and you’re not happy.
“They accept losing a bit more [in MLS]. There is no consequence. You can’t get relegated over there. When you lose a game you go on to the next one. They accept losing a lot better over there.
“They know how to lose but they celebrate every win like you have won the championship. He will definitely enjoy it.”
Bale probably had the best of intentions with his comments, but it’s still a pretty brutal assessment of the MLS compared to the soccer fans in the rest of the world.
