LOS ANGELES – Despite an uneasy start to his Real Madrid career, Fabio Coentrao will rebound and show his world-beating quality, according to teammate Pepe.

The left back made only 12 league starts in his first season in the Spanish capital, notching three assists. He split time with Marcelo, who is currently with Brazil competing in the Olympics, leaving Coentrao as first choice to begin preseason.
