Gareth Bale chooses Los Angeles FC of the MLS to prepare for the World Cup in Qatar

The West Coast of the United States was an old wish of the player for years. He signs for the leader of the MLS Western Conference, a team that has just signed Chiellini and whose star is Carlos Vela.

"I'll be very interested. Sure. I love traveling to Los Angeles and I've played golf when I've been able to go. MLS is a league that has grown a lot in recent years." They are words from 2020, but they serve to understand the decision that Gareth Bale has made. After completing his contract with Real Madrid, the British footballer will sign with Los Angeles FC, an MLS team, and will prepare in Hollywood for the World Cup in Qatar, Wales' second presence in a World Cup after the one in 1958. At 32 years old and after winning5 Champions League, will be the icing on the lefty's career.

According to Tom Bogert, an American journalist expert in MLS, Bale has reached an agreement with Los Angeles FC for the next twelve months, once again leaving the door open for a withdrawal in the summer of 2023. Pending the official announcement by the MLS franchise, the Welsh striker could make his debut on July 8 against the Galaxy in the city derby, just one day after the tournament's transfer window opens. In the Los Angeles team he will meet the Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, who has just signed from Juventus, and the Mexican Carlos Vela, star of the team and of the competition since he left Real Sociedad and crossed the pond to play in the United States.

Bale arrives at a young club with just four years of life, which debuted in the North American league in 2018 and whose best result was the semifinals of 2019. After two disappointing years, this season the California team has started well and leads the Western Conference after 15 games thanks, in large part, to the six goals that Vela has scored. Bale will share a forward with him, landing in a championship that little by little tries to remove the stigma of ' cemetery of stars', even if it costs.

Veteran forwards like Gonzalo Higuaín (Inter Miami) and Chicharito Hernández (Los Angeles Galaxy) continue to score goals in MLS, and Lorenzo Insigne, formerly of Napoli, who has signed for Toronto, also arrives alongside Bale. Movements that give shine to the competition but that maintain that path of signing good players who are already in the last moments of their career.

Los Angeles, Bale's final choice, has ended up winning the game against Cardiff City, a Welsh team that participates in the Championship, the second division of British football, and which also sounded like the destination of the former Real Madrid.

The North American league calendar fits perfectly with Bale's preparation for the World Cup. The MLS Playoffs will start in October and the grand final will be on November 5, 16 days before the first match of the World Cup.
