Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has defended the price-tag of James Rodriguez.
The Italian insists that James was a player he wanted and is one who will provide a return on his £63.3m price tag paid to AS Monaco.
He said: "He's worth it. When you pay that much it's because the club asks you to.
"I've been lucky enough to have very intelligent presidents, who aren't just football fans, they are captains of industry and are smart enough to not ask a coach to play one player or another. If a president asked me to play a certain player, I'd have to leave."
