break of the friendly match; the Portuguese tactician wants Adam to apologize to Bale.
Villas Boas said, “I think it was a very nasty challenge from Charlie. The player had gone and he came in from behind on Gareth's ankle. I did not know the previous history between the two. I do now. It is a difficult one to be
fair. You do not want to end up in a game with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 with 10 men.”
He added, "At half-time Charlie came to me and said something about the challenge. I can accept that but I think he should go to the player to say sorry. If the player escapes hospital it is because he is very lucky.”
Villas Boas has other problems at Tottenham other than worrying about Bale’s ankle at the moment as well. The former Chelsea coach is currently in between the Modric transfer window saga as well where the Croatian midfielder is
adamant on leaving the club.
