Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is happy to take his squad to the USA for another preseason tour.

Real will play four matches while in the country.

Ancelotti said: "The reasons for this tour are multiple: to prepare the team for the new season, to get to know fantastic stadiums, to be with the fans in the United States and to play competitive games to see how the team is at this stage of the season.

"It will also be very important because we have new players and we need them to adapt to our style and philosophy as soon as possible. The internationals, who are now working individually, will also join us.

"We are working very hard. The tour is important for the whole team, but for players like Bellingham, Gler, Brahim, Fran Garca and Joselu, it gives them the chance to adapt to a new idea of football and get to know their new teammates better.

"UCLA has fantastic facilities and the weather is great because it's not too hot. Also, in the United States there are great stadiums and great fans."

"Football in the US has to compete with very popular sports, but the signing of Messi by Inter Miami could help its standing. There is great passion for football among the public. I have a bad memory of the Rose Bowl because I lost the 94 World Cup final against Brazil there. I'm sure there will be a good atmosphere for the match against Milan."
