In the Coupe de France Round of 64, Paris Saint-Germain managed to beat Locmine 2-1 to progress to the next round. However, PSG coach, Carlo Ancelotti was not happy with his player’s performance and said that there is still a lot of room for improvement
The Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 round of 64 game against lowly Locmine was former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti’s first official game in charge of Paris Saint-Germain. PSG managed to win the game 2-1 against the CFA 2 side.
However, despite progressing to the round of 32, PSG flattered to deceive throughout the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Lugano scored a goal in extra-time to give PSG the win which clearly shows how much the Ligue1 giants were stretched by a team echelons below them both in
terms of quality and resources.
Carlo Ancelotti’s managerial reign starts with a victory but the Italian tactician was certainly not happy with what he saw throughout the game.
While talking to the media, Ancelotti said that he knew the game would be a difficult one.
“I expected this to be difficult. It was very difficult. We had many problems, especially in the first period where we systematically went through the axis by allowing the opposing central defence to be good. We had many scoring chances. Had Pastore scored
the second goal (60th minute), the match would have been over. Now it’s normally difficult as players must also adjust to a new system of play,” Ancelotti said who has now implemented a 4-3-2-1 formation.
However, Ancelotti was also a bit furious at Pastore for not giving a pass to Mevlut Erdinç at one stage of the game when the Turk was clearly through on goal.
Clearly frustrated at his side’s inability to kill the game off despite getting so many chances, Ancelotti knows that he has his work cut out for the remainder of the season. Though training has resumed only recently (three days), Ancelotti knows that the
team has to adapt to the new style of play as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, with Ligue 1 action set to resume shortly, Ancelotti would be looking to get the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345 fully fit.
