Real host Simeone's Atetico on Saturday.
Ancelotti said, "I would like to spend time with him, because he loves football as much as I do. I don't think he has anything to learn from me, honestly, but by spending time together... we can get to know how the other works.
"I would like to know, for example, how are you preparing for tomorrow's game. After playing... could you tell us?! How you prepared?!
"I like him as a person, he is very honest when he analyzes the matches. He has had enormous success in a club that, let's not forget, a large part of his recent achievements is due to the fact that he has managed to instill an identity, a mentality in the team. And That has been his great success."
