I needed time to adapt after not having a pre-season, but I&rsquo;m improving now. Everything I hoped for has come true. The fans and the club are incredible. &ldquo;I scored three goals but I hope to do better. I can do it. I want to keep improving and working hard during the matches and training sessions and learn from the best, like Cristiano Ronaldo. He&rsquo;s the best player in the world and he deserves theu00a0Ballon d&rsquo;Or&rdquo;. On the progress of his Spanish, Bale said: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m slowly learning my first foreign language but I&rsquo;m not ready to use it yet. I&rsquo;m working on it a lot off the pitch.&rdquo;
