Carlo Ancelotti urges Paris Saint-Germain to be "more aggressive"

Ancelotti wants "more aggressive" PSG

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has urged his players to be "more aggressive" in matches.

PSG struggled to a 2-2 draw with Lorient at home in their opening game of the Ligue 1 campaign last weekend, with striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring twice including a late penalty.

The Parisian outfit, who have made a number of summer signings including Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Marco Verratti, are firm favourites to win the French first division title.

However, Ancelotti believes that his players need to be "more focused".

"We have a fantastic striker (Ibrahimovic), but we need more balance," said the Italian.

"We have to work better together. We have to be more focused at the start of matches, and more aggressive."

PSG are at Ajaccio for their next Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday.
