Ancelotti: My players must learn German

Ancelotti studies almost every day German and meets two times per week with his private teacher in order to practice. The 57-year-old admitted the other day that the language is too difficult for him, but he doesn't give up.

As reported by 'Bild', he expects his players to do the same. "I want to speak the language of this country. That's very important. If someone doesn't learn the language, he seems unprofessional", he said. That means for Bayern's new arrivals Renato Sanches, Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman that they have to put an effort in it.

Xabi Alonso is a very good example. The 34-year-old held the other they a complete press conference in German.
