Ancelotti: “Today Bale has shown that he is committed”

MADRID, 12 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti defended Gareth Bale’s performance this Saturday, starting for the first time after 168 days, and said that he is “committed” to the team, although he could not guarantee his starting role next Tuesday against PSG after goalless draw with Villarreal at La Cerámica.

“Bale, starter on Tuesday? What a question! I don’t know, we have to wait and see what happens in the next two days. Now we have to get everyone back and I think Bale has had the opportunity and he has delivered. He has played well , he deserved to score, he was dangerous and everything I told him he had to do, he did well,” Ancelotti said.

“He had a major injury in September when he had already started playing, this muscle injury took him time to recover and then it took him time to get in good condition to avoid problems. Today he has shown that he is with us and is committed,” he said. the Welsh international.

In relation to the crash, the Italian lamented the lack of success. “We have lacked a bit of success in recent games, today perhaps a little more, even luckily. We could have scored three times in a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, two crossbars…”, the Reggiolo player listed.

“I would be worried if we didn’t find chances. Of course I would like to be more effective, but what worries me is the version of the first half when we were not very committed, but then we improved in the second half being more vertical, recovering the ball”, he analyzed. .

“It was quite clear what we lacked, in the first half we had a block that was too low and we weren’t aggressive in the match, in the duel, in one-on-one and for this reason Villarreal had more control. In the second half everything has been completely different. The team was more aggressive without the ball”, added Ancelotti.

Finally, asked about the attitude of the last rivals with Vinicius, the Italian coach said he was not worried. “I’m not worried about rivals provoking Vinicius. He has to understand that this can happen and he has to be focused and do what he has to do. He doesn’t have to waste energy on these things,” he concluded.
