Ancelotti maintains focus on next match

Carlo Ancelotti preferred to look ahead after his Paris Saint-Germain side saw their title hopes dented at Nancy yesterday. PSG were beaten 2-1 at the Stade Marcel Picot to leave them level on points with fellow Ligue 1 pace-setters Montpellier, who now have a game in hand. Mohamed Sissoko's equaliser early in the second half, after Bakaye Traore had put the hosts ahead, counted for nothing as Yohan Mollo grabbed a late winner. And Ancelotti told the club's website: "I am disappointed because I don't think we deserved to lose the match. We played well, played good football. The performance was good, we played with good team spirit and I think we deserved to win. "We managed to equalise and we had some decent chances but we have to accept the defeat and look forward because the next match is very important. We have to win against Marseille." Striker Guillaume Hoarau, who forced a sharp save from home goalkeeper Guy N'dy Assembe in the second half, added: "It's hard because we levelled the score and at that stage, we had the initiative in the match. It's not easy but that's how it is. "There are eight games to go and we have to give everything. We'll have to work hard. We could have taken a psychological advantage over Montpellier but in the end it was a huge disappointment. But Montpellier have not won their game yet so nothing is done yet."
