Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: James must adjust to new position

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insists there's no concerns over the form of James Rodriguez.

The midfielder had a low-key European Super Cup against Sevilla last week.

But Ancelotti says: "I think James did well, like the rest, but against Sevilla he didn't play in his normal position, he was playing a bit further back. He has to get used to it.

"We're trying out that position, but he can play elsewhere. The thing is he needs to get used to playing a bit deeper."
