The Paris Saint-Germain coach has reiterated his desire to win the Ligue 1 title this season and is expecting several teams to challenge Les Parisiens for top honours
The 53-year-old has tipped club’s summer acquisitions to hit the ground running and is optimistic about his team’s chances this season.
PSG have invested heavily in the transfer market this summer. The cash-laden club from Paris has attained the services of some of the best players in the world, including http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029.
And Carlo Ancelotti is delighted with the group of players he has at his disposal and has praised the sporting director of the club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056, for the way he has done business in the transfer market.
"I think that PSG have worked hard in order to buy the right players," he told reporters.
The former Milan manager is hoping to hit top gear from the very start as it will set the tone for the remainder of the season.
"From the start of the season we want to win Ligue 1 and I hope our performances match our desire to win the title."
While talking about other teams in the Ligue 1, who can rival PSG for title, the 53-year-old said that Lille in particular are a dangerous side and will give tough time to the Parisiens this season.
Although Les Dogues have lost the services of their star player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager stated that Montpellier will again be in the title race despite losing the services of the Ligue 1 top scorer from last season, Olivier Giroud.
In addition to that, Ancelotti feels that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 will also be in the race for the Ligue 1 title.
“Lille lost Eden Hazard, but they have replaced him with an experienced player in Salomon Kalou. I think they could have a good season. Olivier Giroud was a great player for Montpellier, but they have bought a strong replacement in Emanuel Herrera and I
think Marseille and Lyon will be competitive again as well.”
Paris Saint-Germain will kick-off their 2012/2013 Ligue campaign against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 at Parc des Princes.
