EURO 2016: Ancelotti tips

Bayern Munich boss, Carlo
Ancelotti says he sees England breaking
her over five decades trophy jinx this
month at the Euro 2016 championship.
The veteran Italian tactician was
however quick in warning that any
country that wants to leave France with
the trophy must be prepared to play
Leicester brand of football which involves
a lot of counter attacks.
Ancelotti told The Telegraph that
adopting a counter-attacking style is the
best way for any country to win Euro
2016, highlighting Leicester City and
Atletico Madrid as examples of teams
that have achieved success without
playing possession football.
Leicester upset the odds to win the
Premier League this season, while Atleti
overcame favourites Barcelona and Bay
ern Munich to reach the Champions
League final, where they were beaten by
city rivals Real Madrid.
Spain head to France as the two-time
defending European champions,
successes they achieved with their
famous possession-based style.
But Ancelotti believes Euro 2016 will see
a different approach flourish.
“When I look back over the league
seasons in the biggest football countries
in Europe, and then ahead to the tourna
ment in France over the next six weeks, I
believe that Euro 2016 could be a
tournament suited to one style above all.
This could be the tournament of counter-
attacking football,” Ancelotti told The
Telegraph.
“Just look at how Leicester City have
won the Premier League this season by
counter-attacking against teams with
pace and aggression. The same could be
said of Atletico Madrid, who reached the
final of the Champions League again with
that approach of allowing opposition
teams to have the ball and then attacking
them quickly when possession was
turned over.”
On England, Ancelotti said Roy
Hodgson’s men could end their 50-year
wait for a major trophy.
