Ancelotti believes the veterans could have relax after winning a host of trophies in both Spain and European terrain but still hunts for more.
"I’ve really enjoyed finding those two things: the quality among the youngsters, many of whom I didn’t know very well, and, above all, the hunger and commitment from the likes of Carvajal, Nacho, Marcelo, Lucas Vázquez and Isco, who’ve won it all in recent years and still have great desire, excitement and hunger to have a good season, which is what we’re all looking to do," Ancelotti told the club's official TV channel.
Following the departure of French gaffer Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid manager for the second time in May, Ancelotti rejoiend the side from Everton as he talks of how the Los Blancos will deal with their fixtures for the new season.
“We have to take the club’s history into account. As a team, we have to play well and show the quality we’ve got out on the pitch. We also have to play a high-energy, high-intensity game, both with and without the ball, which is what the modern game requires of you: high intensity both on and off the ball,” he added.
Real have signed Austrian and Bayern Munich defender David Alaba on a free agent, and Ancelotti who worked with the Left-back during their time at Bayern commented on the 29-year-old's ability.
“He’s [Alaba] a strong all-round player with a lot of quality. He’s also very smart in terms of defensive tactics. I played him at centre-back in my last few games at Bayern and he did very well.
"He played at left wing-back and has a lot of experience and is very smart. He’s capable of playing in both positions and has even played in central midfield for Austria. He’s a strong all-round player who I’m sure will have a really good season.”
