A brief history of Ancelotti's smoking

#ancelotti
A picture of Ancelotti smoking a cigar with his Madrid players went viral after they won the Champions League, but how far back does Ancelotti's smoking habits start?
Fortunately, he has been able to switch to chewing gum during matches, a much better habit to cope with the tension.

[@michaeltaylor2799]

Imagine how much more he would have achieved as a coach if they hadn't banned smoking in stadiums...

[@ma5ticore]

Probably less. Studies show that smoking helps to calm your nerves and get you focused for a very short period of time (5-10 min). After that you become even more anxious than you were before smoking that cigarette.

[@AjejeB]

@@ma5ticore but then you can just smoke another one! The key is to smoke one every 10min! 😊

@Mosaab نعم هو naah, he was more like an hardworking and logical midfielder. Unfortunately, or maybe not, I am old enough to have seen that Ac Milan side as a kid and the only baller they had was the winger, Donadoni. Gullit and Van Basten were pure class, but not baller. Only after Sacchi they bought some of that type of players, such as Savicevic, Boban and Baggio.

[@josuesantos8885]

@Mosaab نعم هو oh yes, definitely. He arrived to Milan almost at the end of his career, after having great years at Roma. Interestingly, he lost his first Champions League/European Cup final... against Liverpool, in 1984 on penalties. The same side he lost to again in 2005, as a manager. But he won all the other 5 finals...

You forgot to mentioned that once he almost choked when Milan won a game (I guess it was during Milan-Ajax in 2003) at the very last minute and Gattuso jumped on him from behind: Ancelotti almost swallowed his cigar and since then he was way more cautious when smoking during a game.

[@arfenmalik1717]

@@MrDjambronk smoking involves pulling air deeply into your lungs n that right there is wat you need to do when anxious so that is why smoking comes in

[@tyron9304]

@@arfenmalik1717 Totally can understand even though I was never a regular smoker... Basically it's all in the nervous system (NS) in the frontline of interacting with the world, the subtlest of stuff that you feel begins with the nerves and they have immense power over our breathing and signalling of release of hormones. Once this knowledge seeped deep within me (and a lot of other stuff), I always kept a possibility that my pain, tightness, breathlessness and anxiety may probably not be because something's wrong with me but rather it just be my hyperexcited NS or my lack of restful sleep. Then I always tried to make the better choices of not taking the easier and detrimental way out. I failed numerous times but I also succeeded a plenty. I'm trying to take up hobbies and paths which should promote good health down the line. But let's see. Hope for the best. Also, Deep and restful breathing along with humming are my go to now a days whenever I get the time or whenever I feel I'm stressed. Surprisingly many times this doesn't help but still, you got to do what you got to do. It accumulates for the long run.

Managers smoking cigars was a common sight on Serie A sidelines in the '90s. I hope young players avoid tobacco as well as these horrible disposable vapes which may have health consequences we don't even know of yet.
