Carlo Ancelotti has defended Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, saying he is not a selfish player.

The 25-year-old came in for some criticism following the 2-1 defeat to Valencia at the weekend, with some football pundits in Spain suggesting he could have provided Ronaldo and Benzema. There was even some suggestion the pair were still angry with him in the days following the loss.

But speaking to the media ahead of the clash with Atletico de Madrid in the Copa del Rey, Ancelotti said Bale is a very fair player and works hard for the good of the team.

“I do not think Bale is selfish. I have seen the situation again and it was not easy to pass the ball, it was very complicated. He had no room and he tried to shoot,” the Italian told reporters

We went on to add: “There is no need to talk about Bale. He knows very well when he needs to pass but he took the right decision. If he feels pressure it is positive because he has scored goals in the finals he has played in. Against Atletico he will play.”

When pressed about the issues at Barcelona, Ancelotti said he is not worried about what goes on at other clubs.

“I look at my own team, not what happens in Barcelona. Let’s just say that teams have problems during the season.”
