Carlo Ancelotti says James Rodriguez has 'found the right place' at Everton.

The Colombian joined Everton from Real Madrid this summer.

"First of all, he wanted to find a club where he could play more frequently compared to Real Madrid," the Everton head coach told NBC Sports.

"He had times at Real Madrid where he didn't play a lot. He wanted a new challenge, was desperate to play, and I think he found the right place, because he knows me, I know him. The club wants to improve, the club has a big project.

"I think that he found the right place to show his quality and, of course, the player is really, really talented; he doesn't miss a pass, he doesn't miss a control, he doesn't miss a shot. He doesn't play complicated football, he plays simple."
