Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is delighted with the early showing of Jude Bellingham.
Ancelotti was speaking ahead of their preseason clash with Barcelona in Dallas.
He said: "Everyone has their own characteristics and the playmaker of 20 years ago is a very different to the one we know today. The modern player gets forward more often, is physically stronger and also very skillful.
"He's a very complete attacking midfielder and he's adapting very well because his team-mates are helping him a lot.
"He can play in other positions, like inside with a 4-3-3, either on the right or on the left. There will be games where we will play with that system with a centre forward like Joselu."
