Real Madrid coach Solari bats away questions about unhappy Bale
The Welshman's started just two of Madrid's last eight matches
Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari became a wall in the face of continued questions about Gareth Bale ahead of Wednesday's Copa del Rey Clasico.
The Madrid boss didn't want to feed the speculation surrounding the Welsh forward and didn't really answer any of the questions about him.
Bale is having problems in the dressing room at the Bernabeu and, in addition, has started just two of Los Blancos' last eight matches in all competitions.
Solari also didn't want to reveal if Bale will start Wednesday's semifinal against Barcelona t the Bernabeu -- the first leg ended 1-1 at Camp Nou.
"Our focus is on tomorrow's game, a beautiful game which we have had to come through many rounds to reach," Solari said when asked about Bale on Tuesday.
"The first game was very nice for the fans, and tomorrow our focus is on playing another nice game, nowhere else. Gareth's focus, and all the players."
Bale's troubles have also seen him questioned by his teammates, who call him 'the golfer.' Thibaut Courtois complained that he didn't turn up for a team meal and Marcelo moaned that he couldn't speak Spanish.
