'Mourinho & Bale didn't see football the same way'

'Mourinho & Bale didn't see football the same way'

Jose Mourinho and Gareth Bale "didn't see football the same way" at Tottenham, the Real Madrid star's agent Jonathan Barnett has revealed.

Bale rejoined Spurs on a season-long loan deal in September 2020, seven years after leaving the club to join Spanish giants Real.

The Welshman hit 16 goals in 34 games for the north London outfit last term, but found himself in and out of the team under Mourinho, who publicly questioned his fitness levels on a number of occasions.

Barnett has now offered an insight into the pair's fractious relationship, admitting that they did not see eye-to-eye when it came to their philosophies on the game.

"At Spurs, there wasn’t a fall out," Bale's agent told The Mirror while referring to Mourinho, who was dismissed by Tottenham in April and now occupies the managerial hot seat at Roma.
