Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Modric and Kroos must accept rotations

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti paid tribute to Karim Benzema after victory over Elche last night.

Benzema scored in the 4-0 win.

And Ancelotti said, "t is a bit of everything. Karim is not just a forward. He is a complete player who helps us a lot. Benzema is making a fantastic career and I hope he can continue because all of Madrid's asking for it at this level."

Luka Modric struck twice and the coach also said: "He is an untouchable player. For us all are important and I can't think of always putting them in, I have to rotate. You are finding your best level. Statistics say that Kroos entered Athletic and scored, Modric did it today, so they can score goals from the bench. I don't know if they agree with this, but the statistic says that."
