Chapter 164: The tinkerer is here

The Italian coach landed at the King Power Stadium, which greatly surprised the media and fans.

Ranieri has a wealth of coaching experience, having previously coached a total of 13 teams, covering the four major leagues of Serie A, La Liga, the Premier League and Ligue 1.

Napoli, Valencia, Chelsea, Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Inter, Juventus, Roma and other league powerhouses, he has coached.

But in his room of honour there are only a pitiful few cup winners.

Among them, the highest gold content is to lead Valencia to win the UEFA Super Cup in 04.

Lacking a prestigious legacy, Ranieri has never been a top-tier coach despite his extensive coaching experience.

Ranieri is a first-class coach and is often known for cleaning up the mess, using remnants and weak teams to relegate and even reach European competitions.

Hence his nickname of "tinkerer".

But once you coach a strong team, there is often confusion in the ranking layout, and the shortcomings of the main lineup are uncertain, resulting in inexplicable play.

He also had the nickname "Gardener", meaning that he was always making wedding dresses for others.

Ranieri's painstaking "Bat Army" between 97-99 went against Real Madrid and Barcelona after his departure.

John Terry and Frank Lampard, who were particularly trusted in charge of the Blues, also became indispensable in the Mourinho era.

But he never tasted the sweetness of the fruit.

This time he coached Lyicester City, and the media jokingly said that this was Ranieri's last remedy for the "rotten pot" of Lyicester City.

Although he is not favored by the outside world, the players are still full of expectations for his arrival.

After all, he is a famous coach and has a good result, and the players will admire it from the heart.

On his first day in charge, Ranieri did not show up at the training ground, but was accompanied by Craig to familiarize himself with the basics of the team.

Ranieri was only available at the training ground in the afternoon, when the players were playing warm-up matches.

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

Unlike the fiery Pearson, Ranieri always brings a kind sense of intimacy and gets along very well with his colleagues.

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

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

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

Just as the players were about to go home from practice, Craig stopped Morgan and Rossi and told them to stay.

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

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

In the manager's office, Ranieri stood up and spread his arms out in a welcoming gesture with a smile on his lips as Rossi and Morgan stepped through the door.

"Nice to meet you, boys!"

Not by name, but by "lads", Ranieri's first words won the favor of the two.

After sitting down, Ranieri clenched his fingers crossed, propped them on the table, and said, "Listen to Craig, that training match was proposed by the two of you?" ”

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

"I think it's very good." Ranieri applauded: "I thank you for creating a good atmosphere for the players to get rid of the negative effects of the news and for relieving me as an old man of the job. ”

Morgan was a little flattered and said, "That's what we should do, sir." ”

Ranieri said: "As captain, you did a great job, you were very good, and I want to continue to give you the team. ”

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

Morgan was excited, but he didn't forget that this was originally Rosie's proposal, and said, "Actually, this proposal was put forward by Rosie first. ”

Ranieri looked at Rossi and said, "I know you, Ros." You performed very well last season and were the hero of the team's relegation, you know, on the night I took office, Lao Lei called me and admired you. ”

At this point, Rosie didn't expect that Lao Lei would take care of himself like this.

When Ray was in charge of Tottenham at the time, he played against Claudio Ranieri at Chelsea.

It's just that I didn't expect that the two had a good relationship in private.

"Thank you!" Rosie said modestly.

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

Morgan, who had just been appointed as the captain of the new season, was full of energy and hurriedly asked, "Sir, if there is any difficulty, just say it." ”

Ranieri said: "As a member of the team, I'm a newcomer and I don't know everything about the team like you. The league is ready to start, and I don't have much time left, so I want you to help me a lot in the future and coordinate the emotions between the players. ”

Morgan nodded, which was originally his task, and said, "No problem, sir." Luo and I will definitely try our best to help you. ”

"Tomorrow, I'll meet you officially, to be honest, I'm a little nervous, you guys have to help me then."

With that, Ranieri looked at Rossi, hoping for his answer.

Rosie also nodded and said, "I will, sir." ”

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

After all the players arrived, Ranieri, who was always smiling, said slowly: "Hello everyone, as you can see, the new coach of our team, I will be here for the next two years, side by side with you. ”

"Of course, I have to win two years with everyone."

After the applause, he continued: "Maybe everyone knows about me, for the sake of fairness, I briefly read everyone's information last night, and I have a certain understanding, and now I start to name names, which can be regarded as a brief exchange." ”

The team held their breath, feeling nervous about going to an open class and being named by the teacher.

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

After speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Morgan.

"Wes Morgan!"

"In!"

"He continues to be the captain, I believe everyone will support him!"

The players nodded their heads, and Morgan had a sense of stability at the back.

"Jamie Vardy!"

"In!" Vardy raised his hand.

Ranieri smiled: "I watched the game you celebrated for your child, congratulations on becoming a father." Do you spend more time with your family during the holidays? They are now your constant motivation on the pitch. ”

Vardy nodded heavily.

"And then what's next...... Jeffrey Schlupp. If I'm not mistaken, you scored three goals in your first senior game, which is not something that everybody can do. ”

"I'll see, isn't this Schmeichel? My father and I were friends, and he always mentioned you in front of me, and every time he proudly said that you would surpass him in the future. ”

Every time Ranieri calls a player by name, he has to say a word or two.

He is humorous and funny, often causing the players to laugh, and his understanding of the players is not just simple information on paper.

The whole meeting was also very harmonious.

After the meeting, the team started training and the players expected a different approach from the new coach.

But as a result, it's business as usual.

This disappointed the players a bit and thought Ranieri would have a different training plan.

Could it be that excellent coaches are all so Buddha-natured?

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
