Former Real Madrid midfielder Milla gives his opinion on Ancelotti's search for Kroos' replacement

He informed Marca: "I can envision his coach (Carlo Ancelotti) currently exploring options to fill his position, but I believe it will be quite challenging to find a suitable replacement within the team."

"Possibly the closest is Modric, but you have to manage him for certain games, without being a player who can play practically every week."

However, Milla is not worried about the start of the campaign and confident that they will be able to turn it around.

"In situations of doubt, that is where the big teams have to step up and Real Madrid, with the potential it has, will surely be fighting at the end to achieve the objectives that are asked of it," he added.
