Former Brazilian striker Ronaldo has praised Carlo Ancelotti's contribution to Real Madrid this season.

Ancelotti, who took charge of the Spanish outfit from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, has led his side to four wins from their first five matches in La Liga.

"The team looks very good to me. They have started well and Ancelotti's influence will show. He will make the team play his way," Ronaldo told reporters at a press conference.

"He has a lot of experience and he is a coach who is very easy to get along with. The players like him to be their friend."

Ronaldo, 37, spent five years with Madrid from 2002 to 2007.
