Gareth Bale: 'Wales not interested in mind games'

Wales striker Gareth Bale has said that he and his teammates are fully focused on their own preparations for their Euro 2016 clash with England.

Over the past 48 hours, both England boss Roy Hodgson and midfielder Jack Wilshere have reacted to comments attributed to the Real Madrid frontman, but Bale has insisted that there are no "mind games" ahead of the crucial Group B meeting in Lens.

The 26-year-old told reporters: "It depends how much you look into it. For me, there are no mind games. We just focus on ourselves. Other people like to comment on them. It's how much you you look into it.

"For us as a team and a camp, we don't really listen to anything apart from when we get told things in a press conference but we are just concentrating on ourselves. Nothing is fazing us and we don't feel any pressure so we are just going to go out there and to try to enjoy the occasion."

Wales hold a two-point advantage over England after the first batch of fixtures.
