Chapter 0240, Hello, Ranieri
On June 30, 2015, Pearson was gone.
The city was missing an important figure in an instant.
However, it is also as if nothing has changed.
Pearson refused Xia Xing's request to take him to the airport, and he was ready to drive to London this time.
Do some personal business there, and then leave.
Where to go next?
He didn't even know about it.
It's like life, who knows how many predicaments the bullet of time will eventually break through, and where it will end up.
At this time, the team was still on vacation, and most of the players were still on vacation, when they received a farewell message from Pearson.
Back in the past, there was no answer.
Perhaps, he didn't want to speak.
yes, what else can be said?
They were heroes of Leicester, but it was a huge sadness for everyone to leave in this way.
This particular event, everyone in Leicester City is the loser.
The change in sentiment is impressive, but Leicester will be thinking more about the future.
Pearson is gone, what is our future?
Some of Pearson's lovers began to mumble in their hearts.
Who will be the new manager?
Will he still value us?
Some of Pearson's less reusable players are also hopeful.
Will the new manager be willing to give me a chance?
For players of Xia Xing's level, there is no need to consider these issues.
No matter who comes, he is the core of dependence.
That's not going to change.
In fact, before Pearson left, Xia Xing had already heard some rumors.
It was Mendes who told him.
As an agent with an eye to the sky, no change in European football can escape his eyes.
After learning about this, Mendes' first reaction was to ask if Xia Xing's mind had changed.
"Xia, if Pearson were to leave Leicester City, would you consider leaving? If you have other ideas, it's too late now, no problem, I'll take care of it for you. β
Xia Xing shook his head: "I won't leave." Pearson was good to me, but I didn't just stay because he was alone. I love the city, everybody here is so nice to me and whoever the new manager is, as long as he doesn't publicly say I'm not in his plans, I'm going to stay. β
Mendes shrugged: "Okay, then you must stay." No matter who comes, as long as you don't have a problem with your brain, how can you be willing to let you go? Just stay steadfastly. β
Mendez is absolutely right.
Three days after Pearson's departure, Leicester's new boss was in charge.
Italian Ranieri!
This well-known "tinkerer" is a figure who once dominated the Premier League.
Compared to many well-known managers, he doesn't have so many super dazzling trophies.
But his most brilliant coaching experience has been achieved by leading weak teams.
In the 1998-1999 season, he brought the Italian defence to Spain, which had a profound influence on Valencia's tactical thinking.
Winning the Copa del Rey that year also gave Valencia the opportunity to reach European competitions and reach the Champions League final the following year.
A year later, he moved to Chelsea to become manager of the then struggling Blues.
After a series of reforms, he led the team back to the Champions League again.
In his later coaching experience, he led Parma to relegation and Roma to fight back to the European zone.
Countless phenomenal performances have made him famous.
Although the experience of coaching the giants on a few occasions is not too good, it is undeniable that Ranieri has the best means of coaching weak teams.
The name of the tinker is well deserved.
And this time, Leicester City signed Ranieri so quickly, and they had been negotiating for a long time before, and they had long been intended.
The two sides hit it off, and soon Ranieri became Leicester's new manager.
In Leicester's press conference hall, Ranieri was already dressed in Leicester City's casual clothes.
Asked about the future of the team, Ranieri was smiling and praising Leicester's past.
"I've been coaching in the Premier League for many years and I have a deep affection for it.
'Leicester have been a good team and have been resilient.
'I didn't think they should be in the Championship, they were born in the Premier League.
"They did a lot of miracles last season and I'm already a Foxes fan.
'I'm very lucky to be in such a great team.
"I can't wait to get to work.
'Thank you to the club and the fans for their support, thank you.
"Finally, I have to thank Coach Pearson for laying a good foundation.
'You're a good manager, I wish you all the best.'
Ranieri is worthy of being an old man, and this set of words is not leaky.
The gesture is humble and low-key, and it is very likable.
He also praised Leicester City, explaining his appreciation for Leicester City.
Finally, he thanked the club and the fans, especially Pearson.
You must know that in this team, Pearson's popularity is quite good, and this sentence is equivalent to winning over many of Pearson's old departments.
For example, assistant coach Shakespeare, after hearing this sentence, decided to stay.
And that same evening, Ranieri did something unexpected.
He personally visited Xia Xing!
Xia Xing was cooking dinner for his sister and brother at home, when a sudden knock on the door made him a little curious.
Who will come to him at this time?
There was soup stewed in the pot, and Xia Xing came to the door in person.
"Coach Ranieri? Is that you? β
βxiaοΌ Nice to see you! β
Seeing Xia Xing, Ranieri smiled and stepped forward to hug Xia Xing.
In front of Xia Xing, Ranieri is not like a new manager, but more like an elder who has not been seen for a long time.
Looking at Xia Xing, his eyes were full of joy and appreciation.
"Hello, Coach Ranieri. You sit down and rest for a while, I'm cooking, it's going to be fine, wait a minute. β
"It's okay, you're busy first."
At this time, Alyona and Lide also came out of the room, and when they saw Ranieri, the siblings were also taken aback.
"Coach Ranieri? Is it you? β
Ranieri smiled: "Why are you all so surprised, it's not normal for me to come here to see the core players of the new team. β
The two came to Ranieri's side and chatted with him.
You know, these two are hardcore Leicester City fans, and their ancestors have been Leicester City fans for three generations.
Ranieri also found it funny, and during the conversation, he actually learned a lot about Leicester City from the two young people.
What a bonus.
Half an hour later, the meal was served.
Xia Xing prepared the dishes and chopsticks for Ranieri in advance: "Coach, I seem to have a premonition in advance, and the meals are prepared too much, as if I expected you to come." β
"Haha, you're really good at talking," Ranieri smiled again, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to taste the Chinese cuisine today, it's so good." β
The four of them sat around the dining table, enjoying a rare ease and pleasure......
