Ancelotti admits Henry mistake (1 Viewer)

[JCK]

Ancelotti is a changed man and the team that he has created at Milan is the envy of all teams in the World with the exception of Barcelona. He is top of Madrid's wanted list for a reason - his balance between footballing style and tactical application.

I don't know about his change, but I assure you that he did not create anything at Milan. The team he's coaching is a the outcome of Fateh Terim's long term plan. After Capello, we all know how disastrous Milan were with Sacchi and the likes. Terim came and revolutionized the whole team. At that point Milan's management did not understand the Turk's long term plan so they sacked him and assigned Ancelotti, who took advantage of what Fetih has built.

No. Ancelotti WAS stupid

He then had the straight-jacket of Sacchi's footballing ideas controlling him. Henry was his second mistake after releasing Zola at Parma. They turned to be two of the greatest players in EPL history.

Would Ancelotti let a player as talented as that escape him now? Maybe but I'd say there is more chance a Capello or Mourinho would. Ancelotti footballing philosphy has changed since then. A coach who managed to create harmony with a Milan team consisting of Rivaldo, Rui Costa, Seedorf, Pirlo and then later Kaka and utilising strikers such as Inzaghi and Crespo isn't the same man.

Two irrelevant issues, I might be right on one and mistaken on another....

 

[flieeeekke]

i know they're irrelevant. but if ancelotti is stupid then what is manager who'd start blasi ahead of vieira?


it all comes down to managerial stupidity.

 

[Maresca]

umm.. buffon was parma's first choice keeper since 96, and cannavaro played right back even for italy before trapattoni.

Ancelloti had admited that he had made a mistake letting the young buffon on the bench, before playing his first match for parma and he said that after he saw what a great CB cana is.. his coments might have been ironic though..

Let us say I am managerially stupid, and so is Ancelotti.

 

[flieeeekke]

also, i wouldnt call selling henry a mistake. had he stayed in italy, who knows, maybe we would have another patrick kluivert

i'll stick to "ancelotti is one of the better managers nowadays, and you're not a football manager at all"

Ancelotti is good at man management and is managing one of the best squads nowadays, I give him no credit

still, i dont think any of the two are mistakes. cannavaro did a great job wherever he played and especially buffon, who was parma's first choice since he was 18 years old and even became an italy regular at 19.

so is capello yet he gets plenty of stick. and as the article intro posted states, rediscovering pirlo and seedorf are great managerial decisions.

So you had to drag in Capello to the discussion?

Let us compare him to Lippi then, shall we? Or Mourinho? Or Benitez? Or Hitzfield or Maggath or even Del Bosque? He is no where near the top five managers.

 

[Intro]

I agree Fatih Terim set the blueprint for the rebirth of AC Milan in European football. But only a flexible and adaptable managed would have been able to continue this in a pressurised environment.

The two strengths of Ancelotti you mention; man-management and having a good squad are intangible. If Ancelotti is a good at managing people then it is only due to his relaxed footballing philosphy which he now adopts. Inheriting is a strong squad is an irrelevant point as a team with as superior as Milan will always have good players. But there can be no doubt this is firmly Ancelotti's team.

it is a fact, that it was not gonna be easy for henry in italy. He need´s space for his game, something that strikers do not get in italian football. even with the French national side, henry is not the same like with arsenal in EPL

Let us bring Capello into this dicussion

How is his management of Mutu, Zlatan and Del Piero? Is it not seen that he is more likely to lose a player such as Henry now with his rigid ideas.

I have said it before tactical managers such as Capello, Mourinho and Benitez will always make mistakes because they gamble. They believe their every action will enable their respective teams to be successful. They only see the possible end outcome and not how it is achieved. Capello's changes of formations and gameplans in matches are his trait. Mourinho bringing on Robert Huth for long-balls. Benitez starting with Kewell in CL final or signing Crouch. These are decisions which only these men see and they are not embarrassed at all by them.

There are others like Ancelotti who believe in an innocence of the game; the teams which has the better players or plays the better football wins. If the crowd are entertained in the process the chances are they will go away happy regardless. Yes there are many days in which tactics and gameplans will defeat even the most brilliant of teams but there are others in which they are made to look extremely foolish.

I quote Ancelotti again: "There is no absolute truth in football".

how the fuck not? how is maggath or del bosque better than him?

 

[DelpieroForLife]

Sure they r better than Ancelloti... I can achieve better than 2nd place for two consequtive years if I manage Juve

he won the title with milan. and the cl

and you cant blame a manager for losing a title playing in the water pool

That wasn't an excuse to lose the title, what about the lead that was there ahead of that game?

He won the title with Milan in the most opportunistiic way, he got a complete squad ready to win presented to him by Fetih Terim himself.


Do you want more stupidity from Mr. Ancelotti?
That one was pretty much recent, I am sure you did not forget it, here I present it to you in colours:

I am done with this subject, Ancelotti is stupid and I know he cannot win in a half decent squad.
