Carlo Ancelotti: 'Cristiano Ronaldo manages himself'

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo "manages himself".

During an interview with Radio Anch'io Sport, the Italian was asked whether it was difficult to coach the high-profile Portuguese international.

Ancelotti, however, revealed that it was straightforward to manage the 30-year-old, who has netted 50 goals in 45 games this season.

"Is it hard to manage a player like him? Quite the opposite he manages himself," commented Ancelotti.

Ronaldo needs one goal in the remaining weeks of the campaign to better his total from last season.
