Ancelotti has been drawing comparisons between AC Milan and Real Madrid legend Kaka and current Los Blancos standout Jude Bellingham ahead of their team’s Champions League encounter with Union Berlin. The Italian coach discussed his experiences working with both players, asserting that the England international surpasses the legendary Brazilian in terms of performance ‘off the ball’.
Addressing the media, Ancelotti remarked, “Kaka got into the box a lot with the ball. He didn’t have as much quality to get there without the ball, like Bellingham. We play without a fixed nine and in the box there is more space to finish. With Kaka the system was different, but in general, Kaka was very good on the ball and Bellingham’s movement off the ball is very effective.”
During their time together at AC Milan, the former Brazilian star and the Italian coach collaborated for six years, clinching numerous accolades such as Serie A and Champions League titles. Kaka later transferred to Real Madrid in 2009, while Ancelotti pursued a coaching role at Chelsea.
Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League fixture will witness them facing RB Leipzig in the second leg of the round of 16 encounter, scheduled for Wednesday.
