The 53-year-old tactician has heaped praise on Les Parisiens after the cash-laden club from Paris registered a hard-fought win over Olympique Lyonnais at Parc des Princes this Sunday
The Ile giants returned to the summit with a 1-0 victory over title rivals, Lyon, thanks to Blaise Matuidi’s first half strike.
Les Gones opted to play with an extra defender keeping in mind the attacking abilities Paris Saint-Germain posses. However, Remi Garde’s tactics weren’t enough as PSG claimed all three points at home, a result that has taken the Paris giants to the summit.
Coach, Carlo Ancelotti is pleased with the home win and has praised the attitude of his players. While talking to reporters, the Italian tactician stated that it was strange to see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 play with five defenders and that caused his side a lot
of problems in the opening stages of the match.
"We were a little surprised by how Lyon were set up, playing with five defenders, and we had a few problems coping with the pressure through the middle in the first half.”
However, Paris Saint-Germain did well to take control of the game and the boss is pleased with the way his players performed on Sunday. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager said that Les Parisiens kept the ball really well and they avoided taking risks at the back,
which allowed the forwards to play with more freedom later on.
“We played a good game, solid, especially in the second half. We had good spells of possession, and didn't take risks at the back.”
Ancelotti is indeed pleased with his players’ attitude and commitment but has urged the players to be more consistent in the upcoming games in order to avoid any further setbacks. The coach said that PSG have turned things around very quickly and it is a
great sign for the club.
“We still have to be more solid and consistent. We lost at Nice, and since then, a lot of things have changed.”
The 53-year-old tactician believes that Paris Saint-Germain can now challenge the best in the country and they are on the right track to achieve their objectives this season.
“We've now got a solid team that can do things this season.”
