"Leave Bale be"

Cristiano Ronaldo talked about the situation which Bale is going through during press conference in the run-up to the Real Madrid-Juventus game: "People are putting a lot of pressure on him because of what he cost, but it's not good for him. We need to try to help him, not pressure him - they can do that to other players. Leave him be and I'm sure he'll do just fine."
"I think he's doing a good job. It's been a little difficult for him since he arrived because he did not have a preseason and because he has been injured. It's not easy for him, but when we talk I see how excited he is about playing for Real Madrid and continually improving as a player. He is a fantastic player, a great lad who wants to learn, and is humble, too. He is a humble lad who wants to learn. I don't think he's worried," Ronaldo said about Bale.
The Portuguese player knows that this is a big week: "I don't think this will be a decisive week, but certainly a very important one. We're improving. We didn't get off to the start we wanted, but we're feeling good and excited about beating Juve and Barça."
Ronaldo believes that a victory will virtually secure a place in the next round: "If we win, we will almost certainly have a foot in the next round. Playing for Juve is a sign of greatness. Picking out one player would not be fair - any of them can make the difference. It is a match that we all want to play. We have to win. We're expecting a strong Juve. We have to play with purpose."
