Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has lavished praise on James Rodriguez following his double against Cornella in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday.

While Ancelotti has been impressed with the Colombian's quality, the Italian has also commented on the attacker's attitude.

"I think it's good [that James has played every game] because he's a player. It's been easy for him to show his quality since arriving here. He'll also improve, but I really like his attitude," he told reporters.

"He's a very humble guy and that's the most important thing. The key for him and our team is to have quality and be humble."

James joined Los Blancos from Monaco in the summer.
