Question

13．DAVID Beckham didn't make it．Cristiano Ronaldo didn't hit it so big either．But Gareth Bale，24，has become the most expensive soccer player in the history of the game．
    Four years after the arrival of Ronaldo at a record cost of 125million（765millionyuan）in2009，RealMadridisexpectedtopay135 million for Bale．But how is it that Bale，who was playing left back and being benched （當(dāng)替補(bǔ)） by his English Premier League team a couple of years ago，now attracts such a big deal？
    As of years ago，the Welshman had played 24 matches for Tottenham Hotspur，and had never finished on the winning side once-a record for any Premier League player．Tottenham even privately considered selling him．"A player who had once looked a prodigy （神童）-as a 17-year-old Southampton full back，the youngest ever international for Wales-already appeared，at 20，on the way down，"wrote Tim Adams at UK's The Observer．
    Through all the humiliations （屈辱），Bale hung on．While he was injured and kept out of games，he worked hard to reinvent himself．Bale's father Frank's uncompromising （不妥協(xié)的） discipline had a great impact on his son．
    When he returned from injury later that season，Bale had been transformed in the gym．In a Champions League match in 2010，he established himself as the so-called"Incredi-Bale"overnight throughout Europe．With his team four goals behind to Inter Milan at halftime，Bale surprisingly scored a hat-trick before the game was over．Even former Manchester United coach，Alex Ferguson，praised him："He had been a six-foot，gangly （瘦長(zhǎng)的），slim boy； then all of a sudden he was built like a light heavyweight boxer．"
    With Bale's help，Tottenham are flying high in the league．In the 2012-13 season，he won all three of t he important individual awards：the PFA （Professional Footballers'Association） Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards and the Football Writers'Association Footballer of the Year award．
    This has all led to people comparing him to Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Ronaldo，who are widely regarded as the two best players in the world．
    Former Madrid star Zinedine Zidane has even decided to mentor （指導(dǎo)） Bale．"He's perhaps not quite at the level of the other two，but he's different，"Zidane told ESPN．"So personally I don't think he's far off．"
