章 369: A Goal to Fame Part 2

Anelka came up to Bale and punched him in the chest. He did not blame him for not passing, instead saying, "Not bad." Then, he turned and ran back into the penalty area.

Ribéry also jogged over to pat Bale's head. "You're pretty great huh? You made me think the one dribbling earlier was me!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Arteta came up and pulled Ribéry away.

"Thanks for bringing the ball out and giving us an opportunity to attack."

Faced with their various praises, Bale could only smile. He truly did not know what to say.

He suddenly noticed George Wood looking in his direction.

On the Youth Team, Tang En had once asked Wood to take care of Bale. Bale regarded Wood as a big brother and idol, looking up to him. Other than Tang En, the praise he hoped to hear most now was from Wood.

But when Wood saw Bale looking back, he moved his gaze away.
