Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with James Rodriguez's performance in their rout of Athletic Bilbao.
Pressure is on James as he continues to struggle for consistency.
But Ancelotti said: "With the ball we try to play with three midfielders and without the ball Bale drops back a little and James pulls out to the left to make a line of four.
"Little by little James is adapting to that, he is humble and likes to work hard and learn.
"We're not trying anything out. We're playing with the same system and we're not going to change it. We're just trying to adapt to the new players. We are confident and comfortable playing like that."
