The 53-year-old feels that Paris Saint-Germain’s performance against the Croatian outfit on Wednesday wasn’t extraordinary but is satisfied with the three points nonetheless
The oil-money-fuelled club from Paris managed to nick a win against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League despite not playing with their usual flair. Les Parisiens looked rusty and weren’t their usual best at Maksimir Stadium but goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345 were enough to seal all three points for the French club.
Coach, Carlo Ancelotti, feels that the Parisiens should have scored more against the Croatian champions but is satisfied with the way his side performed in Europe.
"We’re very satisfied, we had a good attitude and we controlled the game well,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager told reporters.
The 53-year-old added that players looked tired in Zagreb and lack of goals in Europe is a cause for concern. However, the coach is satisfied with a win on the road, and has already switched his focus to the domestic matters.
“It wasn't extraordinary performance but it was a good match. We could have scored more goals but it's still a good result and a good performance; when you can score more goals, you should do it.”
On a question regarding http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, Ancelotti said that the Swede wasn’t at his best against Dinamo Zagreb and he wasted couple of good goalscoring opportunities. However, the coach feels that the 31-year-old scored at the right time for Paris Saint-Germain.
The coach added that football is a funny game and sometimes players don’t perform to their best, and has urged his players to bring improvement in their game in the upcoming matches in Ligue 1 and Europe.
“Ibrahimovic only scored one but it was the important one but it's true that he was less clinical than he usually is in front of goal.”
Praising http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082, Carlo Ancelotti added that the Argentine international performed really well in Zagreb and kept things simple creating a number of chances for his teammates in the process.
“After a bad performance against Marseille, [Javier] Pastore played well. He played simple and consistent football.”
Paris Saint-Germain next take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AS-Nancy-c38468 Lorraine in the Ligue 1 on October 27.
