From a few months ago but still lulz
England manager Fabio Capello believes Tottenham winger Gareth Bale is the best player in the world.
The 21-year-old Welshman is hoping to shake off a back injury in time to face AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, and Capello has highlighted his threat.
The Italian said: "Gareth Bale is today the number one player in the world.
"He is the only one who can make a difference in the role he plays as he has pace, technique and strength. Those are three qualities it is hard to find in a player who is not a striker.
"Bale doesn't set out from defence like a full-back. He drives forward and when gets nearer to goal he moves infield and shoots with amazing accuracy.
"Bale reminds me of Roberto Carlos, who was born a left-back and who matured physically and in terms of tactical awareness. Carlos was an explosive player and the only one who came even close to Bale."
Harry Redknapp joined in the praise of Bale by describing the Wales international as the 'best left-sider around' and believes the 21-year-old can continue to flourish at White Hart Lane.
