Ancelotti sets target for Bellingham after matching Ronaldo

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has set a goal target for midfielder Jude Bellingham, who matched a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday evening.

The England international scored his fifth goal in four LaLiga games after netting a stoppage-time winner against Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu.

As a result, Bellingham joined Ronaldo as the only Los Blancos players to have scored in their first four LaLiga matches this century.

The Madrid believes the former Borussia Dortmund star should be able to get 15 goals from midfield this season.

"He can get to 15 [goals] without any problems," Ancelotti said, as per ESPN. 

"He did it last year with Dortmund. He stands out because he moves very well without the ball. That's his best quality."

"He's a player who learns very fast," Ancelotti added. "You don't have to tell him things many times... We've shown him videos of when he played at Dortmund, of things we liked.

"What's changed is that he moves a lot more without the ball into the opposition box. At Dortmund he used to play between the lines."
