Real Madrid star Bale doesn't miss the long ball game

Former Tottenham forward Gareth Bale has been speaking of the different approach to football between the English and Spanish leagues. "The big difference is the tactical play and the way all teams play a lot of good football. There are no long balls like there are in England."

Bale, who joined Madrid for a world record £85m last year, has been part of the club's 29-match unbeaten run and adds: "It took me a bit of time to get up to speed, but I think my performances have come on well. I still feel like there is a lot more to come from me."
