"You need these kinds of players for the future, not just for the present, too."

James Rodriguez looks like he is in cloud nine as he joins Real Madrid officially this week, and it is obvious that the Spanish team could not be happier with the new addition to their team. The above statement was said by no other than Real Madrid's coach, Carlo Ancelotti.

"Madrid's history will tell you that they always want to have the best players and ones with a future. We have signed one of the World Cup's stars."

James has made a beautiful performance in the recently concluded World Cup in Brazil, where he was the top scorer, and where he won the Golden Boot award. He is also just 23 years old now, and the coach is correct when he said that James is for the future.

James has also said that playing in Real Madrid was his dream, and he would love to play alongside football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

But for now, he is taking a break. "James finished the World Cup on 30 June and needs a month of holidays and a break," said Ancelotti. He will start on 1 August with Benzema and Varane."

The coach also talked about their goalkeeping problems saying: "Keylor isn't a Real Madrid player. Right now we have the same three keepers as last year. We are in pre-season," he said. "Iker only started training today. For us the goalkeeper isn't an issue. Last year there were debates about it, but not for me. I'm going to decide at the start of the season who will be the starting keeper. Iker starts at the same level as the others."

"Right now comparing Casillas with Navas is very easy. Spain's bad World Cup was just like Italy's and England's. Spain won the World Cup in 2010, and these things happen in football. Spain will once again be competitive soon."
