Chapter 165 The tinker is coming

The Italian coach's parachute landing at the King Power Stadium greatly exceeded the expectations of the media and fans.

As an excellent coach, Ranieri has a very rich coaching experience. He has previously coached a total of thirteen teams, covering the four major leagues of Serie A, La Liga, the Premier League and Ligue 1.

He has coached Naples, Valencia, Chelsea, Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus, Roma and other strong league teams.

But in his honor room, there are only a few cup championships.

The most valuable one is leading Valencia to win the European Super Cup in 2004.

Lacking high-value honors, although Ranieri has an extremely rich coaching resume, he has never been considered a top coach.

Ranieri's coaching ability is first-rate, and he is often known for cleaning up the mess, using incomplete formations and weak teams to avoid relegation, and even enter the European competition.

Hence his nickname "Tinker".

However, once you coach a strong team, there will often be chaos in the ranking and formation, and you will not be sure of the shortcomings of the main lineup, resulting in inexplicable games.

He also has the nickname "Gardener", which means that he is always making wedding clothes for others.

The "Bat Legion" that Ranieri worked so hard for between 1997 and 1999, after his departure, competed with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Terry and Lampard, who had great trust when coaching the Blues, also became an indispensable role in the Mourinho era.

But he never tasted the sweetness of the result.

This time he coached Leicester City, and the media joked that this was Ranieri's final remedy for Leicester City's "bad mess".

Although he is not favored by the outside world, players are still looking forward to his arrival.

After all, he is a famous coach with outstanding results, and the players will admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

On his first day in office, Ranieri did not appear at the training ground, but was accompanied by Craig to familiarize himself with the team's basic situation.

Ranieri showed up at the training ground in the afternoon, when the players were having a warm-up match.

"Craig, is this the team's training plan?" Ranieri asked with interest as he watched the round-robin match.

Unlike the fiery Pearson, Ranieri always gives people a sense of affability and gets along very well with his colleagues.

Craig explained the purpose of the training match, Ranieri smiled and nodded, stood there and watched for a while before leaving.

The emergence of a new coach makes the players very curious about what kind of coach he will be and what different tactics he can have?

But until the end of training, the new head coach never officially met with the players.

Just as the players were preparing to go home after training, Craig stopped Morgan and Rossi and asked them to stay.

The two looked at each other, but they knew very well in their hearts.

It's the new coach who wants to meet them.

In the head coach's office, when Rossi and Morgan stepped into the door, Ranieri stood up with a smile on his face and spread his arms out in a welcoming gesture.

"Nice to meet you, boys!"

Instead of calling him by name, he used "boys". Ranieri's first words won the favor of both of them.

After sitting down, Ranieri clasped his fingers together and put them on the table, saying, "I heard from Craig that you two proposed that training match?"

The two of them were startled at the same time, thinking that nothing would happen, right?

"I think it's very good." Ranieri praised: "It can create a good atmosphere, free the players from the negative impact of the news, and also relieve me, an old man, from the work pressure of taking office. I thank you."

Morgan was a little flattered and said: "This is what we should do, sir."

Ranieri said: "As captain, you have done a great job. You are excellent. I want to continue to hand over the team to you."

"Thank you for your trust, I will definitely do a good job!"

While Morgan was excited, he did not forget that this was originally Rossi's proposal, and said: "Actually, this proposal was made by Luo first."

Ranieri looked at Rossi and said: "I know you, Rossi. You performed very well last season and were a contributor to the team's relegation. Do you know that on the night I took office, Lao Lei called me,

I hold you in high esteem."

At this point, Rossi did not expect that Lao Lei would take such good care of him.

When Lao Lei was coaching Tottenham, he had a confrontation with Ranieri, who was coaching Chelsea.

I just didn't expect that the two of them have a good relationship in private.

"Thank you for your love!" Rossi said modestly.

Ranieri said: "Actually, I came to you today because I need your help."

Morgan, who had just been appointed captain for the new season, was full of energy and asked hurriedly: "Sir, if you have any difficulties, just ask."

Ranieri said: "As a member of the team, I am a newcomer and I don't know everything about the team as well as you. The league is about to start, and there is not much time left for me, so I want you to help me with my future work.

, to coordinate the emotions among team members.”

Morgan nodded, this was his mission, and said: "No problem, sir. Luo and I will definitely try our best to help you."

"Tomorrow, I will officially meet with you. To be honest, I am a little nervous. You will have to help me then."

After saying that, Ranieri looked at Rossi, hoping to get his answer.

Rossi also nodded and said: "I will, sir."

The next day, Ranieri, dressed in sportswear, was the first to appear on the court.

After all the players arrived, Ranieri, always smiling, said slowly: "Hello everyone, as you can see, our team's new coach, I will be here to fight side by side with you in the next two years.

"

"Of course, I have to use my victory to win two years of time with you all."

After the applause, he continued: "Perhaps everyone knows about me. For the sake of fairness, I briefly read everyone's information last night and gained a certain understanding. Now I will start to name names and have a brief exchange."

The team held their breath, feeling nervous as if they were attending an open class and being called on by the teacher.

"First of all, I think we should name a captain that everyone admires."

After saying that, everyone's eyes were focused on Morgan.

"Wes Morgan!"

"exist!"

"He continues to serve as captain, I believe everyone will support him!"

The players nodded their heads, and Morgan had a sense of stability in the defense.

"Jamie Vardy!"

"Here!" Vardy raised his hand.

Ranieri smiled and said: "I watched the game you celebrated for your child. Congratulations on becoming a father. Did you spend more time with your family during the holidays? They are your constant motivation on the court now."

Vardy nodded solemnly.

"Then next is...Jeffrey Schlupp. If I remember correctly, you scored three goals in your first first-team game. This is not something everyone can do."

"Let me see, isn't this Schmeichel? Your father and I are friends. He always mentions you in front of me, and every time he proudly says that you will surpass him in achievements in the future."

Every time Ranieri called a player's name, he would say a sentence or two.

He is humorous and often makes the players burst into laughter, and his understanding of the players goes beyond simple paper information.

The whole meeting was also very harmonious.

After the meeting, the team started training, and the players expected any different training methods from the new coach.

But the result is that everything is business as usual.

This made the players a little disappointed, and they thought Ranieri would have a different training plan.

Are all excellent coaches so Buddhist?
