With blonde hair, wise eyes, a tall nose, a slightly drooping face, and a kind smile, he looks like Harry Redknapp, a university professor, watching the game video in his office.

His side are on the verge of being challenged by Leicester City at the top of the table.

Although it is difficult to overtake second-placed Burnley in terms of points at the moment, the team is bound to qualify for the play-offs.

Seriously preparing for every game is the job that 67-year-old Lei is accustomed to.

Last season, Ray took over the poor Queens Park Rangers side and were relegated from the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule due to their previous poor record.

Lao Lei, known as the "magician", brought the team to the third place in the standings in just one season.

'Leicester City are actually very strong up front, and despite Jamie Vardy's injury, we can't underestimate it, otherwise we'll be in the same situation as Reading.

Lao Lei touched his chin with his hand, and calmly analyzed the current Leicester City team with youth team coach Ramsey.

"However, it is an indisputable fact that Leicester City's forward efficiency has been greatly reduced."

Ramsey flipped through Leicester's technical stats and said in affirmation.

Lao Lei smiled and said, "Old friend, the data can only reflect the real competitive state of the players at that time, and cannot predict the future. ”

He slowly got up, came to a tactical board, took out a water-based pen, and said slowly: "Leicester City's original attacking line is Vardy's partner Nugent, the two of them have a strong threat ability with the ball, have speed and shooting, and can greatly attract the defense. ”

"So, Mahrez on the wing or Konoket can be unimpeded."

Attacking versatility has been Leicester's biggest weapon this season.

Not only the four men just mentioned, but the youngster Chris Wood, is a very promising centre-forward, with aerial duels and headers being his forte.

The two veterans were able to stabilize the morale of the army, and Kevin Phillips also scored a key goal on the way to the championship in the last game.

But such a team with amazing attacking power, even without Vardy, the forward line led by Nugent should not decline so quickly.

That's what Ramsey has been figuring out.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of his old friend, Old Ray smiled slightly, and circled Vardy's name with a pen on the tactical board.

"Leicester's attack this season has been built around Jamie Vardy. He can attract more than two defenders, so when he is in the middle, he can open up space for his teammates on either side and create opportunities to shoot. ”

Ramsey nodded, and Nugent's 18 league goals this season have partly been Vardy's deterrent.

'When Vardy moves to the wings, he inevitably takes away the defenders of the opposition midfielders and centre-backs, and can open up space in the midfield for his team-mates and create long-range opportunities for his team-mates.

'Leicester City have scored more than five goals so far by several midfielders, which is the most favourable proof of this.

Ramsey is also the team's technical director, not only responsible for the technical and tactical aspects of the players, but also for analysing the characteristics of the opponent's players.

As the elder Ray said, Vardy's sudden rise has enriched the Leicester City team's style of play.

His off-the-ball movement also greatly increases the chances of his teammates threatening the goal with the ball.

And 4 assists, which is a good result for a goalscorer.

Nugent may be the team's top scorer this season, but they are not as good as Vardy in the face of difficult situations.

He prefers to play on the wing.

This is also why Leicester City's weak performance after Jamie Vardy's injury.

The team lacks players with super-finishing ability.

"In that case, why are you particularly worried about Lesters' attack capabilities?"

Ramsey was puzzled that for the Leicester City team, he only needed to send someone to keep an eye on Newgent and limit crosses from the wing, so that the whole forward line could be dumb.

Lao Lei pressed the remote control in his hand, and a black-haired player immediately appeared on the screen.

'This is a Leicester Under-21 player, and it was his assist in the last game against Reading that made Leicester City thrilling.

Ramsey certainly knew that Rossi had such a dashing turn to assist his team-mates to score in such an important game.

This goal is completely rated as one of the top ten goals in the Championship this season.

Not only did he provide an assist against Reading, but he also assisted with a header in last month's battle against Burnley, helping Leicester City seal the win.

With such an excellent performance, it is impossible for Ramsey, as a technical director, not to pay attention to it.

As soon as yesterday's match was over, he set out to gather all the information about the youngster.

To his surprise, Rossi's quality in the Under-21 league was completely different from playing in the Championship.

In the U21 League, Rossi helped the team score 10 goals in 21 league games as a center forward, and is an out-and-out striker.

However, judging from his performances as a substitute in the Championship, he is a playful centre-forward who is very similar to Nugent.

Moreover, the area of activity is very small, and the running distance is also the lowest in the team except for the goalkeeper.

He didn't understand why Lao Lei had specially advised.

Such an inactive player, who can have an assist, can no longer find the right words to explain it except luck.

"Dexterous but not fast, thin body, good little technique. As for attack capabilities, there is too little data to be sure. But one thing is for sure, with his current body, it will be difficult to withstand the fierce Championship. ”

Football is also about physical fitness, especially strikers, without the advantage of body and speed, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in the fierce confrontation penalty area.

At least Ramsey thinks that before Rossi gained weight, he was just a "fist and leg".

Lao Lei also nodded in agreement.

Young man, who doesn't have any flower work under his feet. But when it comes to the professional leagues, reality will teach you how to behave.

"Old friend, you analyzed it right, but you ignored one point."

In the face of Lao Lei's question, Ramsey became interested, and he was eager to hear the opinion of the experienced old coach.

Lao Lei, who once won the best coach in the Premier League, not only has excellent coaching ability, but also has a very old and spicy vision for players.

In the years he was in charge of Tottenham, he brought this team to the top four of the Premier League, and there are countless stars he has discovered.

Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Defoe and Michael Carrick at West Ham United are all future stars in England.

and Van der Vaart, who was unhappy in Real Madrid, was immediately rejuvenated after coming to White Hart Lane.

"This kid has the ability to kick the ball and can attack in tandem with midfield."

As soon as this remark came out, Ramsey did not dare to agree.

With such a small amount of data, how can you see that he has the ability to do this?

Ray adjusted the screen to Leicester City and Burnley, with Rossi picking up the ball at the back and linking up with Drinkwater to launch a counter-attack.

Although he didn't score, Rossi did a perfect job from organization to attack.

In particular, the protective response opens up the offensive space in an instant.

Ramsey had naturally seen the clip, but his eyes were drawn to the breakthrough by Drinkwater and Lloyd, and he did not pay attention to Rossi's silent dedication.

Lao Lei turned the picture again, it was a man-ball pass by Rossi and a Marseille turn from the last game.

Ramsey suddenly understood what Old Ray was going to say.

Although there are only a few opportunities to perform, Rossi's combination of man and ball is unavoidable.

If he is careless, he will easily pass the defenders and threaten the goal.

Lao Lei smiled and said: "If we let him go, then we will definitely repeat the mistake of the Reading team being drawn." ”

"He's going to be the next Vardy."
