Ancelotti tells Bale’s agent: “Quit yo’ jibber jabber fool”

Real Madrid boss and eyebrow-raising enthusiast Carlo Ancelotti is not a happy man.

The Italian has been irked by comments made by Gareth Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett, who told the Daily Telegraph that the Welshman's teammates don't pass him the ball enough. According to Barnett, Bale is "the best player at Real Madrid when his teammates work with him and help him", which seems an exaggeration to us considering the presence of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. Ancelotti responded to that suggestion by saying: "We are really happy with the season Bale is having. This is a world where a lot of people talk; sometimes they talk too much. "[Bale's agent] has never been to see any of our training sessions, he does not know the atmosphere. Bale has no problems with his teammates and his teammates like him. He is delighted to be here. "I really didn't understand what his agent said. He talked too much. It would have been better to stay quiet." Conspiracy theorists of a Manchester United persuasion will no doubt see this as another reason why Bale could be on his way to Old Trafford in the summer. H/T Daily Mirror
