Carlo Ancelotti hails Julian Green work and backs him to shine at Stuttgart

Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has backed Julian Green to do well following his move Stuttgart after seeing improvement from the U.S. international.

The 21-year-old agreed to join second-tier Stuttgart last month after he wasn't able to secure a regular place in the first-team squad with the German champions.

Ancelotti elected to keep Green, who came through the ranks at Bayern's youth academy, in his senior squad this season, but he only made two appearances in cup games.

In an exclusive interview with ESPN FC from Bayern's winter training camp in Qatar, Ancelotti praised Green for the work rate he showed while training alongside some of the world's top players.
