In the five friendlies before the season, Lyicester City are played in descending order according to their rating.

The first game was against Lincoln City in the English Parliamentary League.

Although it is the fifth tier of the domestic league in England, the stadium is only the size of a school football, and the stadium can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators at most.

But the local people's enthusiasm for football is far higher than they imagined.

On the periphery of the stadium, outside the guardrails made of thin wires, crowds of spectators who could not buy tickets.

Is it because the opponent is a Premier League team that it can attract so many fans?

No.

As long as it's a game, the stadium will be full.

There were even out-of-town fans who came to watch the game live.

That's the atmosphere of football as the number one league in the world.

Ranieri's first game in charge was not an official game, but he still did his homework.

Ranieri is Italian, and his tactics are naturally traditional Italian counter-attacks, trying to be stable.

At the back, it was confirmed that the goalkeeper's preferred man was Kasper Schmeichel.

The backline is made up of captain Morgan, Hut, Danny Simpson and Fox on a free transfer from Schalke 04.

Schlupp can play anywhere on the left.

In the midfield position, the newly signed N'Golo Kante replaced the departed Cambiaso and became the main force of the team.

The new midfielder was replaced by Ingle, a rotating midfielder.

Central midfielders Drinkwater, Andy King and Matthew James, choose one of three.

The two wings are Riyad Mahrez and Albreton.

In the center forward position, Rossi, Ulloa and Vardy are the first choice.

Shinji Okazaki and Kramaric became rotational substitutes.

The 18-man roster is Ranieri's initial list of matches, and whether or not to use this list to participate in the league will have to be adjusted through the competition.

He was ordered to change the team's style of play, there is a high wind, and the team will have a lot of problems at the beginning of the season.

And it is very likely to affect the following games.

Therefore, Ranieri still exerts his characteristics as a "tinker", but looks for a suitable supplement in the original system.

Lyicester City started the game well, showing their attacking prowess with Rossi, Ulloa and Vardy up front.

In the 15th minute, Mahrez advanced with the ball on the left side, passed the ball in front of the goal after passing two defenders, and Ulloa headed the goal first.

Five minutes later, it was Riyad Mahrez who broke through on the flank, passing the ball to the back post on the flank to find Rossi.

Rossi headed back in front of goal and set up Ulloa to score twice.

With a two-goal lead, Ranieri asked his players to pass the ball more and use the ground to tear apart the defence.

Giving up the advantage of the wide cross, switching to ground passing, left Lyrc City a little confused.

Rossi's retreat allowed Lyrcester City to speed up their attack up front. But with the opposition focusing their defence on the middle, there were no more dangerous chances.

Instead, towards the end of the first half, Lyicester City once again used a cross from the wing to knock on the opponent's goal.

3:0 does not satisfy Ranieri, the opponent is a team in the fifth division, if Lyrcester City's wing advantage cannot score more than two goals, I am afraid that he should be out of class as a manager for half a season.

In the second half, Ranieri made a big change.

Shinji Okazaki replaces Ulloa, Inle replaces N'Golo Kante, Drinkwater replaces Riyad Mahrez, Schlupp replaces Vardy and Andy King replaces Albrighton.

The tactical intent is obvious, abandon the wing attack and focus on the penetration of the pass in the middle.

Craig was a little puzzled as to why the team had to give up the wing advantage when they were not good at passing in the middle.

Sure enough, Lyicester City's performance in the second half was like two teams, and the sharp attack was wiped out, and Lincoln City seized a few chances to break the ball on the counter-attack, and in the 65th minute, broke through Schmeichel's goal.

The goal also delighted the fans, who felt that it was a good thing to celebrate tonight in a pub to score from a Premier League side.

Ranieri did not make any adjustments after conceding the goal, and the team's organisation in midfield was a bit disorganized, with Drinkwater not playing a central role in the organisation, but rather a bit of a restraint.

"Craig, you look at our midfield, Inle is in charge of defending, Andy King is in charge of interception, Drinkwater is organised, the staffing is only going to be stronger than last season, but why are we struggling to cope with even the fifth division?"

Ranieri called the assistant coach to his side and talked to him about the team's problems.

Craig is also very strange that Inle is not as experienced as Cambiaso in terms of defensive experience, but he is young, full of energy, and has a good pass and long-range shot, and it is impossible not to break down the central Lincoln City defence.

Seeing that Craig couldn't figure out why, Ranieri said with a smile: "One is that we give up the wide attack, and the opponent can quickly retract the defense from both sides. The second is that Inle likes to plug in the attack, but his return defense is slow, so that the two in the midfielder have to let one of them make up for the space behind him. ”

Craig is even more confused, since the opponent will retract the defense, it is even more impossible to give up the wing, you can try Schlupp on the wing.

[To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyueduAndroidApple can be.】 】

After listening to his opinion, Ranieri shook his head and said, "Wait for you to talk to Inle, let him concentrate on defense, and hand over the organization to Drinkwater." ”

After Craig communicated the tactics as instructed, Drinkwater had more possession of the ball in midfield, and the team's possession gradually returned.

In this game, Rossi's performance was average, except for an assist, there were no more highlights, and it was not even as good as Shinji Okazaki, who came off the bench.

But in this game, Ranieri changed his position except for the goalkeeper and Rossi, and the team finally won 3:1.

After the game, the team travelled to Nottinghamshire to take on League Two side Mansfield.

Claudio Ranieri made a big change to his starting XI from the previous game.

The back-to-back duo of N'Golo Kante and Inler can bring a tough defensive force to the team, but throughout the game, Lyicester City often fell into a situation where the midfield was disconnected.

The team's dangerous attack depends on the individual ability of the players.

If it weren't for the team's stoppage time, N'Golo Kante forced a breakthrough with the ball and passed to Rossi to complete the fatal blow and equalize the score, Lyicester City would have been in the hands of the League Two team.

Four days later, Lyicester travelled to Burton-upon-Trent, famous for brewing beer, to take on League One side Burton.

This time, Ranieri has made another change to the lineup, with Matthew James, Andy King and Drinkwater last season's main players in midfield, and Rossi partnering Shinji Okazaki in the front.

The Japanese striker, who is very similar to Rossi's attacking characteristics in the front line, is also based in the Bundesliga with ghostly movement and flexible forward insertion.

The team fielded two men with similar technical styles at the same time, which made Lyicester City's impact in the forward line suddenly diminished.

In such a situation, Rossi had to go to the fulcrum to make the ball for Shinji Okazaki.

In the first half, between Drinkwater, Rossi and Shinji Okazaki, a succession of touches were completed and a goal was scored by Shinji Okazaki.

But in the subsequent game, the Japanese striker did not have much to shine about.

When he transitions offense and defense, he can't create a threat and trouble for the defense as Rossi can at the moment of receiving the ball.

His most important role was the last shot on goal from the team's attack.

Shinji Okazaki's shortcomings were even more evident after Rossi was replaced.

Ulloa could play the ball as a fulcrum, but he was slow to play the ball, leaving Shinji Okazaki heavily guarded by his opponent and leaving him without any chances.

He relied more on teamwork than Rossi, and he couldn't have compared to Rossi in terms of containment and organization.

However, he made up for his shortcomings by running back and forth on the pitch with his aggressive movement.

Such a player is suitable to be a substitute wonderman, and he cannot build tactics around him.

In the end, thanks to Jamie Vardy's goal, Lyrcester narrowly won 2-1.

Against League Two and League One teams, Lyicester City did not win easily, and they were also criticized by the media.

"The Sun" pointed out that Ranieri's characteristics as a "tinker" remain the same, facing a weak team, the starters are chaotic, there are also problems with the arrangement, and the lineup is tinkered with, just repairing the appearance, in fact, he will not use people at all.

The Daily Mail pointed out sharply that Lyicester City has not escaped the impact of the scandal and the manager's dismissal, and Ranieri will be the first manager to be sacked in the Premier League in the new season.

Before the start of the league, the bookmaker gave Lyicester City odds to win the championship, as high as an astonishing 1:5000.

You know, bookmakers have given other fantastic odds before.

Beckham becomes the next Manchester City manager at 1:750,

Ferguson won the British talent show "Dancing Miracles" with 1:1000,

Kim Kardashian's odds to become president of the United States are 1:2000,

British Prime Minister David Cameron becomes Villa coach 1:2500.

The odds of a national men's football club winning the World Cup in Russia are 1:3501.

But all these odds are not as high as the odds of Leicester City winning the championship.

Ranieri didn't care about the outside world and led his side to victory in their remaining two friendlies against Championship sides.

A week later, the time is finally on to test Ranieri and his side at home to Sunderland, who will host first-round opponents of the new season.
