England-Italy 4-0

Across the board, Ancelotti explains the four reasons why English football is higher than ours coaches more involved in the project, less pressure, better stadiums and
The four reasons that make English football better than Italian. The lists Carlo Ancelotti after leaving Italy and AC Milan for England and Chelsea for now with great success, having led his team leading the Premier League and having re-created “the winning mentality of the times of Mourinho” : The trial is one to which they will, Fabio Capello. The first true all-round interview granted to a local newspaper when he was in London, Ancelotti talks about everything: the media, fans, players, the company, for the moment are all with him, and it shows that the positive climate made him smile again after the turmoil of the final stage in Milan.

The four reasons for the superiority of our English football, says the coach of Parma, are: responsibility, pressure, stages and referees. Reason number one. “Here the coach is involved more broadly,” said Ancelotti interview to the Daily Mail. “In Italy, you are responsible only for technical matters, adds to the field an hour before training, you go an hour later and it’s over. At Chelsea are in place from nine to five or six in the afternoon I watch the youth teams, monitoring the academy, studying English, I speak with people in the club conducts our training. It ‘a real job, full time and prefer it that way. ”

Reason number two. “There’s less pressure. In Italy six under constant review by newspapers and television, fans and society. Ends the football becomes your entire life, is not nothing but talk about the last game and next. In England, the atmosphere is more relaxed, there is the right mindset, you go to the stadium to watch the game and then nothing. Reason number three, about the stadium. “The facilities are better. The Italian stadiums are old, with barriers, a lot of police. Here there is more respect for the coach and players. Italy has to improve.”

More importantly, the effects of the game is the reason number four. “We must also enhance the arbitration. Last year, I asked Pierluigi Collina, the Italian head of referees, why in other countries the referee whistled for less. In England, they let the game flow, and in Italy is constantly interrupted for every little contrast. Each contact results in a free kick. playing the media in Italy are called about 50 fouls. Here only thirty. And it’s better that way. ”

On a fifth possible reason, namely that in England the clubs spend more and have better players and coaches who preach a more offensive football, Ancelotti says nothing. But fervently praised his striker Didier Drogba, defindolo “dragging the likes of Gattuso and comparable in technical skill and power Marco van Basten, which tells an anecdote:” When I played with him in Milan, I asked him how he wanted me to pass the ball. I said, ‘pass it and then start running toward to congratulate’, meaning that it was enough to give him the ball and he would have goals, more often than was true. Even Drogba may be so. ”

And speaking of his past, his father’s peasant dialect of Emilia, his personal values, Ancelotti says his Catholic education has remained inside, even if not very practicing. “I believe in God and pray, but only for personal matters, not for football. God has more important things to attend to.”
