Ancelotti: The result vs Deportivo was very good but we cant let that fool us because we still have a lot to improve in terms of our play. We need to improve in defence, but I think we are stronger in every aspect at the back compared to this time last year. Cristiano Ronaldo doesnt need to be rested yet. He is fine and we need him at his best because he is enjoying a great streak at the moment. He has to have the freedom to be able to follow his instincts on the pitch. The way the forwards are switching positions is great because it makes life difficult for opposition defences. Pepe still hasnt recovered from the small problem hes having with his hamstring. Sergio has a problem in his foot and we are waiting to see if he can overcome it. James is a different kind of player and has no problems covering a lot of ground. I always want to play the strongest team possible so that Real Madrid wins. The squad understands that there are a lot of games and that rotation is necessary. That is normal. Benzema played very well in La Coruña and he was taken off in order to give the team balance, not because he was doing badly. I dont care who scores. He has done his job very well and that is what counts. Chicharito has played in practically every game since joining.
