"I know I could make him an even better player than he already is," says Usain Bolt. The fastest man of all time believes that Gareth Bale could be even quicker and is willing to lend a hand.
"I have a lot of respect for Real Madrid, and if they and Gareth want my help, I am happy to fly in and take a private training session with Gareth. I hear that he has been clocking speeds close to me, but it is about technique as well," said the Jamaican athlete. In his opinion, the player could increase the speed of his runs down the flank with some valuable pointers from the Jamaican superstar.
Bale hit 40 km/h in the famous move on his debut against Villarreal. That is just over 3 km/h slower than what Bolt is capable of.
"It is not just about how fast you can accelerate - but also when you have the football at your feet about balance while you are sprinting as well. I helped Ronaldo with his sprinting in a training session - and look what he has gone on to achieve since then," he said in comments picked up by the Daily Mail.
