First, you must always analyze statistics in a broader context.
Secondly, I'm pretty sure there's a connection between this statistic and the statistics in terms of pressing. The teams that are high on these statistics are also high on the PPDA statistics. There are some outliers, which I can see immediately.
Thirdly, Ancelotti's teams have never been known for their counter-pressure or for being particularly intense in the way they play football. Ancelotti is in many ways the protagonist of Guerdiola, Klopp, Tuchel, Pocchetino, Bielsa, etc.
Fourth, it shows that one can achieve success (and not success) without being at the top of such statistics. Just look at West Ham and Leicester, and opposite Southampton.
