The team has a coach, and the mentality of the players is a lot more stable, but a week later it was a friendly match before the game, and the new coach did not have any tactical arrangements.

The players thought that Ranieri's first day in charge might be to observe and adjust according to the existing staffing.

After all, in the summer transfer window, he did not participate in the team's recruitment, and could not build the team system according to his tactical ideas, and could only achieve his ideal tactical system through local adjustments.

Since he is known as the "tinker", sewing and mending is naturally a good job, so there is no need to worry.

But three days on, Ranieri is still the first to show up at the training ground and the last to leave each day.

He put his hands behind his back, walked around the training match and watched, and that's it.

So much so that the players questioned him, this famous coach, whether he has any plans for the new season.

Morgan quickly silenced the chatter and urged his teammates to train well.

July 19 was the team's last pre-match training session.

After that, the team will have a day off, followed by five friendly matches over the course of two weeks.

It's the last day, so it's time to get something really good out of the way.

This is the unanimous idea of all the people in Lyrcester.

But the morning training was still normal.

"Craig, there's no need to train in the afternoon, inform everyone, the conference room will come after the lunch break."

In the dining room, Ranieri said to the assistant coach as he chewed slowly.

Craig was incomprehensible about the new coach's "indifference" after taking office.

Each coach has his own style of play, and although Ranieri took over the team on an interim basis, not to mention making drastic reforms, at least he has implanted his own coaching style into the team.

Whether it is a defensive counter-attack, a pass-and-control football, or a traditional English long-pass rush, these must be known to the players and targeted training in training.

But a week passed, and nothing was done.

Even Craig thinks it's a bit late to start the meeting.

In the afternoon meeting, Ranieri walked in empty-handed, with a relaxed face and no meeting at all.

"I've been with you all these days, and I feel like I'm very lucky. After I have been idle for more than half a year, I can still manage a good team in the English league. ”

In November last year, Claudio Ranieri, then head coach of Greece, was dismissed immediately after disqualifying for the European Championship due to poor results in leading the team.

This is his second return to the Premier League.

"People must be wondering why I haven't brought anything new to the team until now."

This is something that is doubtful not only for the players, but also for the assistant team led by Craig.

Ranieri began to laugh at himself: "A lot of the media laughed at me, saying that I would only tinker with the squad and that once I had reinforcements, I wouldn't play, and that's exactly what happened. ”

"So, don't think about how magical I am, what can I do to turn things around, I'm just an ordinary coach."

Seeing the confusion on his players' faces, Ranieri continued: "I don't have the superpower to make you like other teams, like Manchester United, Chelsea and they dominate the league. But with my 28 years of coaching experience, I'm confident that I can help you gain a foothold in the Premier League. ”

He had always spoken softly, but his tone suddenly became sonorous and powerful, and he was extremely firm.

The players raised their eyes to this old man, who was in his 60s, with gray hair, but the calm and wise in his eyes could make people feel reassured.

"I never think I'm a good coach, and don't think you're inferior to others. You're also professional footballers, so if you give 100 per cent effort, I can fix you well. ”

Suddenly, the player's brows furrowed, and confidence appeared in his eyes.

Ranieri picked up the pen and said: "If you want to achieve good results, you have to have a goal and plan to execute it around that goal." ”

"This season, we are still relegation-oriented. Since we want to be relegated, then we have to plan around the points needed for relegation. ”

"How many points do you think we need to get in the new season to be relegated?"

The players were stunned all of a sudden, the league can be played for 38 rounds, and no one knows how many points they will have to relegate until the end.

Ranieri picked up the pen and wrote a number on the board: 40.

"Based on the points we have scored in recent years, that's what we're aiming for the new season."

Last season's frantic wins took 41 points in the final rounds, and they were asking themselves if they couldn't replicate last season's relegation miracle.

Miracles can be replicated, is that still a miracle?

This goal seems to be a bit big, and the players are talking about it in private.

Ranieri laughed: "It may seem like a difficult goal, but as long as we break down the plan into each game, it's very simple. ”

Segmentation, how is this segmentation?

Ranieri smiled meaningfully, scanning the crowd before finally stopping at Rossi.

"Luo, how do you think we should break it down?"

Rossi seemed to know what Ranieri meant by help.

"I think we have to be clear about the games that we can win and win with a draw and a draw against a strong team to achieve our goal."

Ranieri nodded: "Law is right, this is what we want to refine." Knowing what you can do, who your opponents are, what you need to do, and then adapting accordingly is what we're aiming for. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt a little confident, and Morgan asked, "Sir, what are we going to do?" ”

Ranieri said: "The three promoted teams this season, they haven't adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, so we have to win the first leg. In the next round, win three draws, it's not a big problem. ”

The players nodded in agreement.

Last season's hellish grind, they were confident to win against those league "newcomers".

Ranieri wrote a "3" on the whiteboard before continuing: "Aston Villa has taken the main centre-forward, Sunderland is average, and they have fought two legs and won two and drawn two. ”

"Newcastle and West Bromwich Albion have struggled in the relegation zone in recent seasons, especially Newcastle, although they have brought in players generously, but before the first leg, the team did not run in enough, so they tried to win 2 draws and 1."

"As for Swansea, Everton, West Ham and Stoke City, it would be nice to win two games and try to have two draws for the rest. Now, we have 9 wins, 8 draws, 35 points. ”

The new coach spoke confidently and fluently when it came to his plans, not at all like a 64-year-old.

In his chest, there is still the power of youth.

When you hear this, the pressure in your heart is unconsciously reduced a lot.

'As for Southampton, if Koeman is still in charge, then the second half of the season will definitely be repeated, and you can take three points here.

Ranieri said that, the players smiled.

Under Ranieri's analysis, the team got 38 points from relegation at once.

The remaining big6, they are star-studded and outstanding, and it is very difficult to win against them.

But with a couple of draws, they are still confident.

In this way, the target of 40 points is easily reached.

The players smiled happily at each other.

But Ranieri suddenly became a little serious, and said: "There are still six teams, I know what you think, try for a draw, right?" ”

The team members were slightly stunned, because they felt that the old man in front of them spoke in a different tone.

They felt the majesty of this famous handsome, and they were a little ashamed that they didn't dare to face his eyes, and they swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

"Last season, you were able to beat Manchester United, draw with Arsenal and Liverpool, and let Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham almost go home, why not this season?"

'If you don't have the confidence to beat them, then the club won't have to pay £1.5 million a year to invite me to coach.'

"This season, you have to beat them. My request, first leg, three wins, three draws. ”

Ranieri's sonorous voice echoed in every corner of the conference room.

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