Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale says Arsene Wenger's new World Cup plans must be blocked.

Former Arsenal boss Wenger is spearheading the move for biennial World Cups, as part of his role with FIFA. But European football's key figures are hostile to the idea and Bale echoed their concerns.

"It's not something I really like," said Wales captain Bale, preparing to win his 99th cap.

"I like the tradition of [the World Cup] every four years. It has that prestige like the Olympics where it comes around every four years and it feels that little bit more special because it's not happening too often.

"If we had one every two years, it would lose that bit of history. Once every four years does make it that bit more prestigious."
