Bale's First Day at Real Madrid.



Gareth Bale turned up for his first day at the office and was warmly welcomed by the man he has replaced as the world’s most expensive footballer.
Perhaps conscious of Bale being seen as a pretender to Cristiano Ronaldo’s crown in the Spanish capital, Real Madrid made sure there was an early display of a united front as Bale was greeted by the man he referred to as ‘the boss’ in his presentation last week.  
The two galacticos shook hands in a heavily staged ‘chance meeting’ in the club car park.

It is the picture Real president Florentino Perez has been desperate to see ever since Barcelona unveiled £48million Brazil star  Neymar as Lionel Messi’s sidekick.
Bale arrived in Madrid yesterday morning and was driven to the same city-centre hotel where his coach Carlo Ancelotti is staying.  
He will live there until he sets up home with his family in the same La Finca private estate that is home to Ronaldo.
Ancelotti emerged from Bale’s new temporary home just before the Welshman was driven up by club delegate Javi Coll. 
The former Real Madrid basketball player has been employed for so long by the club to help English-speaking players settle in that he remembers David Beckham finding his feet in the city in 2003.
Bale was then driven to Real’s Valdebebas training complex, where Ronaldo was waiting to  welcome him.
