Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: I like Celta Vigo attacker Veiga

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits he rates Gabri Veiga highly.

Real meet Veiga and Celta Vigo this weekend.

Ancelotti said: "We have a lot of respect for this team. It has a well-defined organisation, individualities: it's a team that we have to respect and do our best to win.

"Yes, I like him (Veiga). He's a quality player, like Iago Aspas, who is doing very well."

On the significance of facing Celta, Ancelotti also said: "Yes, we have to do our thing, fight until the last game.

"League games have to be fought to the end and it is clear that the games we have in the League serve to continue in this dynamic. The team is very good. The calendar often doesn't make sense, it's too tight, with too many games and you have to evaluate the health of the players who are the most important part.

"Here everyone thinks about their own, La Liga in theirs, the FEF in their own, UEFA or FIFA and the players don't paint anything. Something has to be changed."
