Ancelotti explains why he doesn't want to give instructions to Modric, Kroos and Casemiro

"I have nothing to say about Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. They're still the best in the world for me. I'm surprised because they do things on the pitch I don't ask them to do. They're amazing," Carlo Ancelotti said after the Granada win.

"Modric, Kroos and Casemiro do things that surprise me. Their position on the pitch... it's all natural. I don't want to tell them what to do on the pitch. I'm not gonna say anything. Their talent is huge.

"They have been our past, are our present and will be our future too, although not for 10 years."

The Real Madrid midfield trio had a fantastic performance against Granada. Modric and Casemiro got an assist each while Kroos had two, as the Whites won the game 4-1.
