After his hat-trick against Belarus in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Qatar, Wales captain Gareth Bale was asked at a press conference about a reform that is making the world of football talk: the possibility of shortening the interval between two Worlds at two years.

A reform proposed by FIFA and supported by Arsene Wenger, but the Real Madrid winger is not in favor.

“I like the tradition of all four years. The World Cup has this prestige, like the Olympics, taking place every four years. It's a little more special because it doesn't happen too often. Every two years, I don't really like it because it loses this historical dimension,” replied the international with 98 caps (36 goals).
