Paris Saint-Germain's Milan Bisevac has admitted that Antoine Kombouare was an important factor in making him the player that he is today, but believes that new coach Carlo Ancelotti has lifted standards at the club.

The Serbia international was brought to the Parc des Princes by the since-sacked Kombouare in July 2011 and has compared the Ligue 1 giants' current and previous bosses.

"Kombouare is a very important person in my career. Antoine did a good job and he participated in leading us to first place, but in football you never know what can happen," the 28-year-old told Goal.com.

"On his arrival, Ancelotti changed the system. He asks us to play faster, move forward and release the ball more. We have adapted and right now, it works very well.

"I hope we will go on until the end unbeaten and follow these performances up with victories. We must remain focused.

"Each coach is different. I do not like to judge and compare coaches, but right now it is working very well.

"With everything he has won in his career, Ancelotti brings a lot of experience. And, as I said, he asks us to play faster. We take pleasure in working with him," the ex-Valenciennes defender continued.

With the appointment of Leonardo as sporting director and the financial backing of the Qatari Investment Authority, Bisevac feels that the French capital-city side can become a European powerhouse.

"Paris will become a very big club in Europe. The Qataris, Leonardo, the staff ... everyone is working on this project. Even we, the players, can feel it. Currently, we push forward and we work to make PSG a great European club," he declared.

"My goal is to become French champions. That's why I came to Paris, to win titles; and play as many matches as possible."
