Gareth Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnetthas granted an exclusive interview to four sports in which he has analyzed the situation of his client. And, once again, she has done it without mincing words, pointing out to the fans for not having treated him as he deserved, to Ancelotti for not playing him and to the press for “ungrateful”.
Regarding his minutes, for Barnett the responsibility is entirely his. Ancelotti and not of his representative. “He always stays on the bench, so the one We’ll have to ask him why he doesn’t play, it’s Mr. Ancelotti. I am not criticizing him, he has simply made a decision and that is that Bale does not play. But, of course, it is his decision, not the player’s.” When asked, in this line, if he sees options for the Cardiff Express tomorrow, it was more forceful than ever: “Impossible”.
“The press has been very ungrateful with him, because they have nothing better to do. They have never spoken to him, they do not know him. A couple of weeks ago I wanted to go to court (for the harsh article that made Gareth issue a statement), but Bale stopped me, he said no“, he pointed out in reference to the criticism.

Lastly, he spoke about Real Madrid, to which he pointed out that he had not responded to Gareth as he should have: “If the fans had transmitted affection to him, everything would have been different. In a few years they will look back and remember the great player who was at Real Madrid and what he did for this club. They will repent. I hope that this season they say goodbye to him as he deserves.”
