The Italian was content as Paris Saint-Germain managed to earn a well-deserved victory against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-CF-c40864, despite a good showing from the home team.
Ancelotti hopes that Les Parisiens would be able to replicate their performance at the Parc des Prince later this month.
Carlo Ancelotti praised his players as Paris Saint-Germain won a tightly-contested encounter against fellow European club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 CF. The First-leg of the UEFA Champions League was highly anticipated by both of the sides. However,
it was the Paris-based club that walked out with a victory and two vital away goals.
The coach feels proud of his players due to the way they performed. The 53-year-old wants PSG to replicate the same performance in Paris, as he said:
“All my players worked hard together; we won a lot of balls and moved forward quickly. We had a good first half and we need to show the same attitude in Paris, which won't be easy.”
Ancelotti also held respect for his opponents, whom he believes, played a great game. The Italian coach believes that Los Che deserved to score a goal, following their determination to stay in the competition. However, the former
AC Milan and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager was satisfied the way PSG defended. He said:
“Rami's goal changed things a bit but not the team's performance. Valencia showed a lot of quality and dominated possession but we defended well.”
While being asked whether English star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 would feature or not in the second-leg of the fixture against Valencia, the coach said it all depends upon the player’s fitness. The 53-year-old explained:
“He [Beckham] will train on Wednesday and we'll see what his physical condition is like before deciding whether he'll play in our next match.”
Despite an entertaining game between the two European sides, the Italian was not satisfied at all with the referee’s decision to send off Swede striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029. The tactician insisted that the tackle by the former AC
Milan player wasn’t harsh at all. Ancelotti expressed his disappointment, stating:
“I didn't get it. He went for the ball at the same time as another player. It was a solid tackle, but not outrageous.”
