SOUNDBITE: (English) Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid manager (on Luka Modric):

"... He is a fantastic player. I think that what changed differently from the last year is that now he is more comfortable. Last year was the first year here (for Modric). He needed to.... Learn about Spanish football, he needed to.... Be better with the new team-mates, so now he is more comfortable in this season, in this atmosphere, and he is.... playing really well."
