Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is delighted with Brazilian pair Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.

Both players have shone for Real in the opening games of the season.

On Vinicius, Ancelotti said: “He's playing at the same level as he was before I came here. He has immense quality in a one-on-one situation. He's had a great start to the season and has been scoring goals, which is important. But I'm not a magician, just a coach and I try to give every player the confidence they need to express themselves on the pitch.

“There are many qualities required that can help carry the team: personality, character, charisma or quality. Vini Jr. carried the team against Levante, scoring two goals in 35 minutes to help us avoid defeat. He's a young player and now he has the quality to lead the team. But he'll also do so when he's older because of his experience."

Of Rodrygo, he also stated: “He's a complete forward. He's really quick and has great ability. He's very composed in front of goal and he can play in any position in attack. He's still very young, but he represents the present and future for Real Madrid."
