We are very much hungry to qualify for the next World Cup- Gareth Bale

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is determined not to give up on his World Cup dream, despite missing out on the finals in Russia this summer.
Bale watched on helplessly because of injury as Wales' World Cup ambitions were ended in the final group game by the Republic of Ireland in October. And, although Bale will be 33 by the time of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Real Madrid forward says he will be even more motivated to be at the tournament.

He said "It was a massive disappointment for all of us not to reach the World Cup having experienced the Euros, which was incredible, but normally if we do well in one campaign we die away in the next. We were right there until the end, so we have to take the positives. Losing and missing out on the World Cup makes us even more hungry to qualify next time."
