Watch this video if you have any doubts:

The video aims to help youngsters get their football skills right with tips from the Welsh player.

"First I find the valve on the ball. I place it in line with where I am aiming. I hit the ball right on the valve. Then you position the ball at where you’re going to strike it. I usually take four steps back and slightly to the right. Then I focus at where the keeper is and where I want to put the ball. When you’re running up, you must keep focused on the point you want to hit. The main thing when I’m running up is I hit the ball as flat as possible with no spin. I open my foot right up. I hit the ball exactly where I want, right in the middle. I then have to try and hit it so I’m not curling the ball. I want to get the flight of the ball to move and make it difficult for the keeper. And with my follow-through I’ve got to keep my body up tall. Hopefully the ball then will go exactly where I want it. For me the most important thing is you're 100% committed to what you're doing," says Bale as he gives tips.

Bale has managed to reach his first hat-trick for Real in his 13th game much before celebrated player Cristiano Ronaldo.
