The agent for Gareth Bale has been outspoken about his client's usage at Real Madrid, which Carlo Ancelotti doesn't believe is very helpful.
Bale's agent has accused Real Madrid's players of not passing to his client.
“Real have to work with Gareth and pass the ball to him more. He’s going to be the best player at Real Madrid when his team-mates work with him and help him. Hopefully Real will come to terms with this” Barnett told the Daily Telegraph. “It’s plain to see when you watch the games.”
According to the sports newspaper AS, Isco has given 141 passes to Cristiano Ronaldo, 76 to Karim Benzema and 66 to Bale; Rodríguez has given 123 passes to Ronaldo, 79 to Benzema and 37 to Bale; and Toni Kroos has given 98 passes to Ronaldo, 79 to and 54 to Bale.
“This is a world where lots of people talk ... and sometimes they speak too much,” said Ancelotti. “[Bale’s] agent spoke but he has never come to see a training session, he doesn’t know our atmosphere, he speaks from the outside.
“Bale has never had problems with his team mates, they have never had problems with him; the squad love Bale, Bale loves the squad. Then, someone says a word too much. He could have kept quiet; that would have been better.”
Ancelotti added: “I have spoken to Gareth. He is really happy to stay here. He has no problem. I really didn’t understand what his agent said. Maybe it would have been better if he was quiet, but we are used to a lot of people speaking and sometimes speaking too much.
“He has had a good season, we’re very happy with him. Last season, he scored in the important moments: in the finals [of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League] and other [big] matches. It could be that he may have the same opportunity now.”
