Match report
Real Madrid coach Ancelotti delighted with 2-goal Isco
By Frank Henriksen
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is happy with the early form of Isco.
The winger struck twice in victory over Athletic Bilbao yesterday.
"He is playing very well and he makes it look like he’s been here for years. He has character and ability and that is very important for us. He has a lot of quality in the midfield. He is free to look for a position between the lines. He is doing that very well because he has the ability to be in the right position at the right time," said Ancelotti.
