Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: I will NOT drop Bale

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says he'll stand by Gareth Bale.

The Italian insists he won't consider dropping the Welshman.

"If that was true then I would need to change the entire team," said Ancelotti.

"Karim, Cristiano, the midfielders...the whole team needs to improve. I don't think that Bale is happy with what he is doing. He understands that well and is going to try to improve."
