I was talking to my uncle who is a Spurs supporter and I mentioned that it will be vital for Spurs to get a midfielder who can play off of Bale. With him showing that he both run past you and unleash the beast with his left foot, I think a lot more teams are going to resort to the 'kick him to stop him' defense next season as you can neither him give him space or close him down without getting burned. Consequently, you need to have someone who can play off of him so as to divide the opposition's focus or take advantage of an overconcentration of focus on Bale.
