Carlo Ancelotti: “The mistake that the new generation of coaches make is giving too much information to the players in the game with the ball.
This takes away creativity. It's one thing to indicate to the player the positioning without the ball, there you have to give a lot of information, because without the ball it's concentration, sacrifice and collective play.
But with the ball, it depends on the creativity of the player. If Vinicius or Rodrygo feel more comfortable opening up a little more on the wings when the team has the ball, I'm not going to tell them to stay inside; because it is an individual interpretation of the game.
I don’t do it, because I don’t want to take away everyone’s creativity.”
