Wales captain Gareth Bale said on Friday he was unconcerned about his international goal drought on the eve of his side’s Euro 2020 opener against Switzerland. Bale, 31, last scored for Wales against Croatia in October 2019 but has created four goals in his previous seven appearances. “It doesn’t matter. I’ve made assists. I’m still contributing. I’m not worried,” he said. “If the chances arise to score, hopefully I can take them,” he added.
Bale’s side start their campaign in Azerbaijan on Saturday in the competition that has been delayed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Real Madrid forward, who spent last season on loan at Tottenham, has scored 33 goals in 92 international appearances since making his debut in 2006 but his goalless run stretches back 11 matches.
