Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits he likes David Alaba at centre-half.

Ancelotti was speaking after victory at Real Betis.

He said, "I think there's more chance of him playing as a centre-back than a full-back for me."

On the timing of the international break, Ancelotti also said: "There have always been international games but this break means players will arrive on Saturday morning and I don't think they can possibly play that evening. I hope that can be sorted out because it's not just an issue for us, but for many clubs. We don't have time to put the best team out."
