Ancelotti: Im not enjoying Barca chaos Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s Copa del Rey clash with city rivals Atletico, he told reporters: “I’m not happy about Barcelonas problems, because I have things to fix of my own. I look at my own team, not what happens in Barcelona. Let’s just say that teams have problems during the season.” I do not know the dressing room of Barcelona, so I cannot comment on Luis Enriques decision [to rest Messi, Neymar and Dani Alves]. Everyone faces decisions regarding the dressing room and Luis Enrique is best placed to make those decisions. It looked like a fair one. Ancelotti was also forced to defend Gareth Bale after the Welshman came in for criticism following Madrids 2-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia at the weekend. The former Tottenham winger was accused of selfishness after opting to shoot rather than passing the ball to Karim Benzema in a dangerous position, but Ancelotti stressed the 25-year-old made the right decision. 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 said. 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 Madrid on Wednesday he will play.
