I want to talk about Carlo Ancelotti

I was recalling a conversation I had about Milan with @gilles talking about the Golden Age of Milan, that Ancelotti coached: Kaka, Rui Costa, Maldini, Nesta, Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo, Cafu. That Milan. That was truly a wonderful Milan. Seedorf is a 10, Pirlo is a weird 10, and Rui Costa and Kaka are of course 10s, but of a different style. And Ancelotti somehow figures out a way to combine all of them together on a pitch and succeed. 

Some accuse him as being tactic-less. In this modern age of Football, the extrapolation of The Cruijffian Totaalvoetbal taken to its natural extreme -- through the Tiki Taka of Barça Guardiola, Gegenpressing of Jürgen Klopp, the new Brighton De Zerbi, Arteta's Arsenal, the Guardiola disciple. Even Unai Emery's new Aston Villa does a lot of positional play, and the new Bayern Guardiola / Man City Guardiola -- it feels like positional play is that's all there is these days. 

And then you realize, Ancelotti won the UCL, again??

Really liked De Zerbi at Brighton and thought he was doing well. Not sure if you know but he is not the manager anymore. He manages Marseille now
