Then from there either setting up goals for Benzema and co. or being able to score them himself.
He's a good player, but like any player, he needs his positives bringing to the fore. And that's something Real fans forget to often.

Yeah. He's been far too deep but I suspect a lot of Real's formations are ultimately dictated by what Ronaldo wants. I have loads of respect for Ancelotti but sometimes wonder if he's strong enough personally to make unpopular decisions. It'll be interesting to see how Rafa deals with the situation.
