Ahead of the first La Liga game of the season, Carlo Ancelotti has spoken highly of some of his players.
The Italian gaffer reserved extra praise for summer signing Jude Bellingham.
He said of Jude Bellingham: “He excels at bursting into the box with and without the ball. He can get to the opponent’s area early and being further forward in his position damages the opponent.
“He’s an extraordinary player. He can play as an inside player, but he’s very dangerous as a playmaker.”
Ancelotti also had high remarks for Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, as he expects them to keep developing.
He said: “They have to keep progressing because they’re two players who have done really well and have done so consistently.
“The team has a lot of options because there are players who can score goals like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu, Valverde, Kroos, and also defenders from set-pieces like Militão and Rüdiger. We’ve got a lot of options to score goals.”
