Chapter 243 The Right to Liberty

Looking at Ranieri in front of him, Xia Xing always felt a special kindness.

It was as if the two had known each other a long time ago, and the conversation was very relaxed.

This is completely different from Pearson.

Pearson is the standard strict teacher, very strict with everyone.

Especially when Xia Xing first joined Leicester City, Pearson looked down on him even more.

Later, Xia Xing won Pearson's favor entirely through his personal efforts, strength and talent.

Unlike the beaming Pearson, Ranieri is always smiling and looks very gentle.

But Xia Xing understands Ranieri's past.

No matter what team he is on, he is not a nice guy.

Behind his honest and kind face, there is his determination to kill.

He couldn't have been a tinkerer again and again without some finesse.

Perhaps for him, not being able to coach a wealthy team with ease is his biggest problem.

After all, not every head coach can get along very well with countless big-name stars like Ancelotti, Lippi, and Ferguson.

But Ranieri's characteristics are just right for Leicester City now.

There are no absolute big-name stars in the team, and the miracles last season were all due to the spirit of unity and hard work.

If you talk about strength and fame, maybe you are the biggest name in this team.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Ranieri to come to visit first.

Although Xia Xing is young, he is the absolute organizational core and technical core of Leicester City.

There is no doubt about that.

At the dinner table, Ranieri never mentioned football-related topics, but casually chatted with Xia Xing and the three of them.

It's really like a regular old friend visiting.

until dinner is over.

Xia Xing wanted to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Aliona.

"Xia, you guys chat, I'll clean up."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work."

"It's all right. Li De, follow me to the kitchen to clean up."

"Why did you take me..."

"Hurry up, there are so many words."

"Oh……"

Although in front of Xia Xing, Li De looked black-bellied, but he was still a child in front of his sister.

The siblings went to the kitchen, leaving Xia Xing and Ranieri alone.

The two still did not talk about football.

When Ranieri asked about Xia Xing's study experience at the University of Leicester, he was full of admiration.

"More knowledge is definitely a very important thing. And you young people have to think about the future in advance. It's amazing that you can use the time off to make up for your college work."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"Xia, you said you have no class tomorrow?"

"Yes, what are you doing?"

"If you are free, you can come to the club to find me tomorrow, and let's talk about the future of the club."

"it is good."

Xia Xing naturally agreed.

Although he didn't know what Ranieri wanted to talk to him about, how could he refuse the new coach's invitation.

Especially what he just said.

Not to talk about "my future", but to talk about "the future of the club".

This is even more important.

Xia Xing is also very curious and wants to hear Ranieri's tactical thinking and style of play in the new season.

One night passed, and the next morning, Xia Xing showed up at Ranieri's office on time.

"Xia, nice to see you again."

Ranieri walked around the desk with a smile on his face, stepped forward and hugged Xia Xing.

"You came so early?"

"Yeah, I just took over a new job, so I definitely need to make more preparations."

The two sat opposite each other on the sofa and began to chat about football-related topics.

If Claudio Ranieri showed an amiable side last night, his professionalism is undoubtedly revealed now.

Not long after, Xia Xing admired Ranieri.

"Coach, I didn't expect you to know the characteristics of the players so well just a few days after you joined the team. It's amazing."

"Xia, before I took over this job, I did a lot of research. If I didn't have a certain degree of confidence, I would not be able to take this hot potato. Leicester City had a great performance last season. It is too difficult for the new coach to make a breakthrough, and it is even very difficult to keep this result."

"Yes, Leicester City's triple crown last season did have a lot of luck."

"Haha, you can say this. After all, you are a witness. I can't say that. I have to show enough respect for your results last season."

"We didn't encounter too much injury wave last season, and many games in the cup were dangerous and stumbled."

"Yeah, now Leicester City has great potential, but there are also big problems. So I decided to strengthen in several positions."

Ranieri said, and handed Xia Xing a piece of information in his hand: "This is my transfer plan, what do you think?"

Xia Xing was taken aback, he didn't take the information: "Coach, I'm just a player, not even the captain, and I'm not a member of the player committee. I don't think this kind of important information is appropriate..."

Ranieri smiled: "Xia, I haven't decided on the tactical play for next season, because Leicester City's lineup is still being adjusted and strengthened. I need to make a decision based on the final lineup. But there is one thing I am sure of, that is, my team must have you as the core."

Xia Xing looked at Ranieri seriously: "With me as the core?"

Ranieri nodded vigorously: "That's right! It's not only your playmaker and tactical core position last season, but also the core of the team. You can make on-the-spot changes based on my understanding of football and my tactical arrangements. This is no problem. In this Leicester City formation, you are a player that surpasses everyone, and your status is unmatched!"

Listening to Ranieri's words, a smile gradually appeared on Xia Xing's calm face.

This is great.

Although this so-called team core sounds similar to the Pearson period, there is an important difference.

It is Xia Xing who has the right to make changes on the spot.

This was absolutely not allowed when Pearson was coaching.

Pearson asked to retreat across the board, and Xia Xing must also strictly implement it.

Even if he finds a special change on the court, he cannot direct the team to change the existing tactics without authorization.

And this kind of opportunity is fleeting, and there is no time for Pearson to react.

Xia Xing tried to turn the tide many times last season, but he also seized this kind of opportunity and created goals with his own strength.

If Xia Xing had the right to dispatch the entire team at that time, Leicester City would have a greater chance of scoring goals even though they were a bit risky.

Pearson is conservative, this is his characteristic.

And Ranieri respects the players' ideas more, especially the ideas of core players like him.

Thinking of this, the smile on Xia Xing's face became brighter.

Ranieri laughed too.

He could see that his words made Xia Xing very happy, which is very important.

The most important thing for me during this transfer period is to keep Xia Xing steady and not let him leave the team.

Now it seems that I did it...
