Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: The differences between Bellingham and Zidane

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti feels it's unfair to compare Jude Bellingham with Zinedine Zidane.

Bellingham was again impressive for Real in their Champions League win against Napoli.

Ancelotti said: "Working. He needs to improve his Spanish, I've said many times that no one is perfect and Bellingham needs to improve his Spanish. He is working hard and gets along with everyone in the dressing room. He was a spectacular signing for Real Madrid.

"It is difficult to compare two distinct generations. Jude has an insertion into the box that Zidane didn't have, while Zizou had an individual quality that Jude doesn't have today.

"Bellingham, however, is a modern footballer, who can cover various positions on the pitch at the same time."
