The Paris Saint-Germain coach has once again insisted that winning the Championelle is their priority in the upcoming season
The 53-year-old has his eyes set on guiding PSG to their first Ligue 1 crown in eighteen years.
The Ile giants narrowly missed out on the Championelle last season, something they want to change this time around. And Les Parisiens coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has stated that their minimum target is to win the league next season.
The Italian was handed the reins of the capital club halfway through the last season, replacing Antoine Kombouare at the helm. Appointment of the former Milan manager was a clear indication of the club’s ambition.
Montpellier Herault pipped PSG to the title last season that resulted in Paris Saint-Germain spending heavily in the mercato once again. The club from Paris has acquired the services of some of the best players in the world including http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 and Zlatan
Ibrahimovic.
Following the arrival of Ibrahimovic and Silva, PSG have become a force to reckon with in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and in Europe as well. Les Parisiens are the clear favourites for the Ligue 1 title next season but Carlo Ancelotti is taking nothing for granted.
While talking to reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager stated that their prime target is to win the domestic title and they will not settle for anything less this time.
“It is simple, last year we finished second in the league, this time we need to be first, there is no question about that.”
Ancelotti feels that it is still early for his expensively assembled side to challenge for European glory, but has vowed to give tough time to other teams in the Champions League this season.
“In addition to that, we will be competitive in the Champions League and will give hard time to our opponents", the Italian told reporters.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 international stated that Champions League will be a new experience for most of the players in the squad and it is too early to predict how PSG will play in the competition.
"Nobody knows what is going to happen in the Champions League. We will try to be competitive, but we will see when it starts."
Paris Saint-Germain will kick-off their 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign on August 11, when they face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153.
