There seems to be no stopping the twenty-year-old Bellingham. He has already scored eleven times in LaLiga and provided two assists, while in the Champions League he has a one-to-one record (four goals and two assists in four matches).
Signing Bellingham has been a bullseye for Real Madrid, and Ancelotti realizes he has gold in his hands.
"I have seen Cruijff and Zidane play, and I think Bellingham surprised me as much as Kaká did when I first saw him play. He has Kaká-like qualities. His adaptation is going exceptionally well. It's easy to enter this dressing room because the ego level of this squad is low regarding new players coming to Real Madrid," said Ancelotti at the press conference.
Bellingham's absence would be a significant loss for Real Madrid. Ancelotti has been plagued by injuries all season, which he believes have a clear cause.
"Injuries are a general problem because the calendar is very full. We have to persevere and the players who have had less playing time can step up. I don't know if we will have a slump in January or February. Anything can happen in football, and we can't predict that. We know it will happen, the only thing we can do is be prepared."
