Throughout his long training career, Ancelotti (65 -year -old) passed many international football stars, but there are 5 stars who see them better than their train.
Next is the best 5 players trained by Ancelotti, according to his choices, which were revealed by the British website “Giff Mi Sport”:
1- Brazilian Ronaldo Nazario
When Milan contracted Ronaldo in 2007, the Brazilian presented many charming shots, although he was not at his best.
“When I was a Milan coach, we contracted with Ronaldo, he weighed 100 kg and before one of the matches I told him you have to lose some weight, to respond what you want me to do? If you want me to register, share me.”
“When I was at Milan, we had Ronaldo. He weighed 100 kilos & I told him he had to lose weight. He said, ‘What do you want me to do, score or run? If it’s to run, bench me; if it’s to score goals, play me’. I played with him & he scored 2 goals”

“I joined him and did not already run, but he scored two goals,” the Italian added.
Under the supervision of Ancelotti, Ronaldo played 20 games, during which he scored 9 goals and presented 4 assists, but the player did not achieve any title.
2- Cristiano Ronaldo
Ancelotti has once acknowledged that he would like to train Argentine Lionel Messi in order to compare him with Ronaldo, but many of his statements were biased towards the Portuguese star who played under his supervision two seasons in Real Madrid.
“Ronaldo is a great and technical talent, this is its nature, and he has completed these qualities seriously and professionalism, as I have not seen a player of this degree of focus, preparation and discipline. It is a role model.”
Under the supervision of Ancelotti, the “Don” played 101 games in which he scored 112 goals and made 47, and was crowned together in the Champions League and as the King of Spain and the European Super in addition to the Club World Cup, with a title in each championship.
3- Al-Suwaidi Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Ibrahimovic spent only one season with Ancelotti during their period in Paris Saint -Germain, but he left a strong imprint during this short period.
Ancelotti defended Ibrahimovic after he was often accused of arrogance, and he said, “Behind this mask from vanity there is a great professional and a generous person.”

He continued, “Zlatan was among the few who trained them and they were more happy when making goals more than scoring, so it was in Paris that he is an exceptional player and personality.”
Zlatan during the Ancelotti era played 46 games in which he scored 35 goals and made 18, and was crowned the French league once.
4- French Karim Benzema
Benzema has been associated with an exceptional relationship – inside and outside the stadium – especially in his second term, Real Madrid, in which the French player became the leader of the royal team.
“I have trained one of the best players in the history of football, an integrated striker, a friendly, modest and serious person, he is an integrated player not only as a striker but as an individual who helps the team a lot in the acquisition,” Ancelotti said.
Benzema played under the supervision of Ancelotti 187 games in which he scored 121 goals and made 54 and was crowned together in the Champions League (2) and the Spanish League, the King of Spain Cup (2), the Spanish Super Cup (2), the European Super Cup (2) and the Club World Cup (2).
5- Brazilian Vinicius Junior
Vinicius owes Achilleri that he gave him confidence in Real Madrid to turn to a world star who was close to winning the Golden Ball, and although he did not win it, he kidnapped the spotlight in the Carlo II era at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
“When I arrived in Madrid in 2021, I only saw him on TV, but when I met him, I found a player with amazing talent,” Ancelotti said.
“Vinnie added to this talent a lot of other skills, such as getting rid of oversight and effectiveness in front of the goal. All thanks to a stunning daily work and a great focus in training,” he said.
Under the command of Ancelotti, Vinicius played 198 games, during which he scored 90 goals and made 68 goals, and achieved the Champions League titles (2) and the Spanish League, the King’s Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the Intercontinental Club Cup.
