Real Madrid winger Di Maria: Ancelotti assured me of playing chances

Angel di Maria is confident he'll see plenty of action this season at Real Madrid.

Di Maria is expected to be the big loser from Gareth Bale's arrival.

But he said: "I spoke with Ancelotti and told him that I want to stay and keep doing well here. He told me that he wants me involved and to keep working hard."

"When I get the chance I will play my best and when I am on the bench I will support my teammates. The important thing is that I'm earning a spot in the side and getting to play."
