Rayo Vallecano coach Inigo Perez was happy to test himself against Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti.
Perez marked his Rayo debut with a 1-1 draw against Real on Sunday.
On his chat with Ancelotti afterwards, he said: "He has wished me luck at this stage.
"I have been imagining being a coach for a long time, I have analyzed him winning titles and Leagues. What I like most about him is that in such a complex and difficult world he is always calm.
"He is polite and everyone loves him, apart from trying to imitate him as a coach, I will try to take that management of emotions and education."
