Ancelotti: I can't expect James to play like Di Maria for Real Madrid

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti
admits he cannot expect James
Rodriguez to offer the exact same
qualities as Angel Di Maria.
Di Maria left the Spanish capital in
the summer to join Manchester
United for £59.7 million, while
Rodriguez joined from Monaco for
£70m.
But Ancelotti insists it is unfair to expect the Colombia
international to fulfil the same role.
"James is not Di Maria," the 55-year-old told reporters. "He is a
different player with different qualities.
"I'm going to use him for that reason, not because I expect the
same from him.
"Both players have different technical characteristics. I'm
happy with him and he is focused on the job he has to do. He's
doing well and will get better," he added.
James was rested for Madrid’s last game, a 2-1 win over
Ludogorets in the Champions League, but Ancelotti confirmed
that he will feature against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
