HAVE REAL LEARNED WOODGATE LESSONS? Spanish football journalist Sid Lowe hopes that Real Madrid will not take the same approach with Gareth Bale that they took with fellow Brit Jonathan Woodgate, who had an injury-plagued time in Spain. My biggest concern is we see a repeat of what happened to Jonathan Woodgate. Early on in Woodgates career, Real Madrid signed him knowing he was injured and that he wasnt ready, he tells BBC World Service. There was an enormous amount of pressure put on the medical staff by the club to get him playing because hed been expensive. He came back when he wasnt ready. I think theyve learned from that and wont pressure Bale back.
