Chapter 0768, Lao Tzu kicked you out of the top four!
There are many talented coaches in European football, including super champion coaches like Pep Guardiola and Mourinho, Champions League managers like Carlo Ancelotti, and meritorious managers like Alex Ferguson who have coached a team for decades.
Different managers have different coaching styles and characteristics, they have their own suitable teams, in the right soil, plant the right seeds, take root and grow big trees.
Among these managers, Claudio Ranieri is one of those very special.
He has a well-known nickname called "tinkerer". The reason is that every time he coaches a small club, he can rejuvenate these small teams, create good results, and even enter the league European zone in one breath from the position of the relegation team.
At the beginning of his debut, Ranieri coached in Cagliari and Fiorentina, bringing two teams that had fallen into a slump back to Serie A from the lower leagues.
When he was in charge of Valencia, he even brought Italian defense to Spain, led the team to win the Copa del Rey, and even reached the 2000 Champions League final as a dark horse.
During his time at Chelsea, he helped the down-and-out giants get back on track, restoring the strength of the Premier League powerhouse and leading Chelsea to the last four of the Champions League for the first time.
In the memory of later generations, he led the relegation team Leicester City to set a Premier League record, which became a beautiful conversation.
But it's 2010, and Ranieri is in the midst of a period of uncertainty in his career.
After the 2006 phonegate incident, Deschamps was appointed to become the manager of Juventus, and after deducting 9 points, he was promoted to Serie A three rounds in advance. However, at the end of the season, because of the team's different transfer philosophy, Deschamps was reluctantly fired by the Juventus management, and it was Italian Ranieri who took his place.
In Ranieri's first season in charge of Juventus, he finished third in Serie A and was the first step towards a revival.
However, in the next two seasons, his performances were extremely poor, and Juventus' results became worse and worse, and he eventually left the club in disgrace and soon became Roma manager.
After joining Roma in the summer of 2009, Ranieri once again played the strength of the "tinkerer", he led the in-form Roma all the way to the top of the table, close to Inter Milan at the top of the table, almost upset Mourinho's team, and finally only finished second in the table by only two points.
They are back this season and want to make a big splash in Serie A and the Champions League.
At present, they have qualified for the Champions League group, and the league is still in the first group, and they still maintain the hope of competing for the title.
Seeing Ranieri stretch out his hand with a smile, Yun Sheng also shook hands with him politely: "Coach Ranieri, your team has performed well in the Champions League, congratulations." ”
Ranieri looked at Yun Sheng very friendly: "Today is the first time I have met you, and you are much younger than I thought. Becoming a Champions League winning coach at the age of 30 is a fulfillment of a dream that many people have never fulfilled in their lifetime. ”
Yun Sheng's expression was calm: "It's just luck." ”
Ranieri shook his head: "The football environment in China is very poor, and the strength is also very poor, but it is definitely not luck to still be able to train a world-class football coach like you." I guess it's all because you left China early to study in Europe. ”
Yun Sheng frowned, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything, he glanced at the direction of the court: "I guess today will definitely be a good game." ”
With that, Ranieri turned around and walked to the dugout, sorting out the materials and preparing for the game.
Ranieri's assistant coach was very dissatisfied: "Didn't you win the Champions League once, what is there to be arrogant about!" ”
Ranieri said lightly: "Maybe he is a little dissatisfied with what I just said." ”
"You're right! Huaguo football is already very poor, and their football environment is even worse! Why, don't you like to listen to it anymore? ”
Looking at the assistant's indignant appearance, Ranieri twitched the corners of his mouth and did not speak, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of disdain.
Looking at Yun Sheng's serious expression, the coaching staff knew that he was unhappy, and everyone talked less and worked more, trying not to provoke Yun Sheng.
Speed whispered to Cannavaro, "What's wrong with sir?" Why did you suddenly get angry just now? Does he have a personal vendetta against Ranieri? ”
Cannavaro shook his head, he looked at Yun Sheng, moved Spidra away, didn't let Yun Sheng hear, and whispered: "Mr. was angry just now, on the one hand, because Ranieri said that Chinese football is not good. ”
"There are many things, you can say that you are not good, and it is okay to laugh at yourself, but as an outsider, if you say irresponsible things, it must be very rude. On the other hand, because of what happened at Juventus last year......"
Speed was a little puzzled: "What happened last year?" ”
Cannavaro glanced at Yun Sheng again, and lowered his voice a little: "I'm talking about the incident when Ranieri made fanhua remarks last year......
In the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals in the 0809 season, Juve played Lazio at home, and Juve lost 1-2 in that game.
After the game, Ranieri made a public statement that he was very dissatisfied with the referee on duty!
"I'm not happy with the result! The referee is obviously targeting us, and I suspect that the referees are all Chinese! ”
This incident caused an uproar!
If you scold the referee, you will scold the referee, and you have a half-dime relationship with the Chinese?!
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused the dissatisfaction of countless Chinese fans, who openly boycotted Juventus and Ranieri, and the media and the Internet criticized and scolded constantly!
In the face of external pressure, Ranieri had to come forward to explain, saying that he had no intention of offending the Chinese.
But in his original words posted on social media, the word "Chinese" was explicitly mentioned, and his explanation paled in comparison.
This incident has a lot of impact in Europe, and European football has always resolutely put an end to this kind of racist and politically inclined remarks.
And Yun Sheng, who was the coach of Monaco at the time, also publicly commented, condemning and protesting against Ranieri's remarks.
Originally, this incident was a long time in the past, and Ranieri also publicly apologized, but Yunsheng was not willing to hold on.
But when Ranieri had a conversation with him just now, his contempt and contempt for Chinese football were directly written on his face, which made Yunsheng very dissatisfied.
But it is undeniable that what Ranieri said is indeed the truth, the football environment in China is poor, the strength is poor, and if he forcibly refutes it, it will become a strong argument.
So he gave up arguing with Ranieri on the sidelines and focused on preparing for the game.
Instead of arguing and talking on the sidelines, it is better to speak with strength.
In this game, Lao Tzu will let you see what level the team brought out by Coach Huaguo is!
After this game, Lao Tzu will kick you out of the top four in the league!
