Ancelotti says Real Madrid will focus on Liga

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says they'll focus on the Primera Division this season.

After winning the European Super Cup a fortnight ago, their reported assault on six trophies ended against Atletico Madrid on Friday, but coach Ancelotti is ready for them to get their league campaign under way.

"The new season is going to be interesting for us," he told his club's official website.

"We have a side full of quality and we are going to try and do what we did last year.

"We'll try to improve this year. Last season we came very close to winning the Liga and we ran out of steam at the end. It's a very difficult championship and with great teams that will fight to win it, but we're determined to do well."

The former Chelsea manager, though, says that hopes of winning every trophy available never came from anyone inside his dressing room.

He added: "None of us have spoken about winning six titles. We will try and win all the titles we can.

"Now we start a new season and are looking forward to it. There are very competitive sides to come, like Atletico and Barcelona."
