Carlo Ancelotti explained that he's positive coming into this
all-important week: "I'm confident that the team is doing better and can
play well, as it did on Saturday. It's an important week with Juventus first then the 'Clásico'".
"Cristiano Ronaldo starts on the wing but ends up in the middle which is where the goals are scored. I'm not that crazy that I'd try and change a player who scores 50 or 60 goals a year", he said about the positioning of the Portuguese player and his compatibility with Bale.
"We've got pretty much everyone available - only Xabi Alonso isn't fully fit. I won't tell you my team, though. Ramos might play because he's available", he said.
Ancelotti said that he plans to use youth: "The aim is for them to be the future of Real Madrid. There are five young players, including Casemiro, and making them the future is the priority of the club and its coach. It's good to gain experience. Morata scored against Levante and played well against Málaga, as did Jesé. I'm happy and so are they".
The 'Blancos' coach drew parallels between Buffon and Casillas: "Buffon has played in every game and Casillas has played in a few less. It's normal to make mistakes. Buffon is up there with Iker".
"Di María is doing very well. He's working, he's positive and he's got a lot of character. He's important for the team", he said about the Argentine.
Ancelotti was also clear that he's "not spoken with Mourinho since becoming Real Madrid coach".
