Chapter 188 It's Difficult, Then Don't Do It!
Ranieri attended the post-match press conference alone.

He knew in his heart that what was waiting for him were bombarding questions from the media.

"Mr. Ranieri, talk about your views on this game!"

Ranieri hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "We played very well in this game. The players can complete the tactics well. I am very proud."

"This is the first confrontation between you and Wenger in 11 years. What do you think of it?"

Ranieri first smiled and said: "Of course I was watching from the sidelines, just kidding. It is undeniable that he (Wenger) is one of the great coaches today. He has a lot of new understanding of football. I respect him very much."

He paused, and continued: "I regret it a bit. If I had come to the Premier League to coach earlier, maybe I wouldn't have lost today."

The implication is that I have suffered from lack of running-in while coaching the team.

"Talk about Rossi's performance. He played in the attacking midfielder position in the second half. Has this been rehearsed beforehand?"

Ranieri shook his head and said: "No, Luo has always been the main center forward. It is only because the team system needs him that he plays as a front midfielder."

He knew very well in his heart how the media would deal with Rossi, so he took the blame first and took the blame himself.

"Then what do you think this adjustment has brought to the team?"

Ranieri asked back: "Didn't you watch the game, he (Ronaldo) brought the team two excellent counter-attack opportunities, one of which was a goal."

A sneer came from the corner of the mouth of the questioning media, which was just making excuses for Rossi and forcibly giving him the credit.

"Before you said that Rossi would compete for the Golden Boot this season. However, in today's game, he didn't have a shot."

Ranieri's face changed slightly, and he said seriously: "As I said before, this is the need of the team system. It is because of Ronaldo's change that Vardy scored two goals. This is his goal in four consecutive games."

Vardy?
He's doing really well, but so what?

Is it something to be proud of scoring goals in four consecutive games?
In the Premier League, there are many players who can do it. Besides, in the previous three games, they all scored against underdogs, and the gold content is not high.

"Your team didn't score a clean sheet in any game. What's the reason?"

The most insulting way for an Italian coach is to say he can't defend.

Ranieri spread his hands and said helplessly: "It is difficult for me to answer this question. Defense is a very learned subject. A team with a good defense usually has a championship appearance, but zero seals does not completely indicate a good defense."

"You didn't answer my question directly!"

Ranieri smiled and said: "Well, I can answer you like this. I will tell my players that if I can keep the opponent clean, I will treat them to pizza. I think they will work hard."

After saying this, Ranieri ended the interview and walked back to the locker room.

All the players are waiting for him.

The score of 2:5 was a very serious blow to the morale of the team.

Although the current team ranks high, there is no guarantee that future games will be as lucky as before.

As the media said, the team's defense is a huge loophole.

In the previous games, there were thrilling reversals at the last moment.

Such magic cannot last until the end of the season.

"Why are you keeping your head down?"

Ranieri walked into the locker room, saw the players listless, and said with a smile: "It's just a loss. Our current ranking is a favorable contender for the Europa League."

"In this game, although we lost, we gained valuable experience. It is very remarkable that everyone can stick to the tactics arranged by me, an old man, when we are behind by a large score."

When the players heard "valuable experience", they all agreed that it was words of comfort.

But when I heard Ranieri's affirmation of their efforts, I was a little moved.

"I was outside just now, but I told the media that in future games, I will treat the opponent with zero seals, and I will treat you to pizza. Do you want to eat it?"

Everyone in the locker room nodded in unison.

Even the assistant coaches are amazingly consistent.

"Okay, if you want to eat pizza, you have to do a good job of defense first. The team will not have a holiday tomorrow, so let me gather for the training game."

In the locker room, the player roared excitedly from the bottom of his heart.

Compared with ineffective words of comfort, appropriate punishment will be more able to stimulate fighting spirit.

London Heathrow Airport.

"Deng~deng~deng~deng~~~~"

"Gentlemen and ladies, Lufthansa flight LH9343 from Los Angeles to London is about to arrive at Heathrow Airport..."

Pixie, who got off the plane, looked tired.

"Miss Lotter, welcome back to London, you have worked hard all the way!"

The assistant took the luggage from Pixie's hands. At the exit, the flashing lights clicked, and the media and fans flocked.

Under the protection of the security guards, Pixie thanked the fans with a smile while leaving the airport quickly.

Pixie traveled to Los Angeles this time to attend a music awards ceremony.

After entering the underground garage, closing the door, and starting the car, Pixie let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sati, what is today's itinerary?"

Pixie took off her high heels, fetched a bottle of water from the car, and asked while drinking.

The high-intensity work made her look a little tired, and she leaned her head on the soft backrest.

Sadie Harris is her assistant, responsible for all work schedule arrangements.

"In the morning, you can go home and rest. In the afternoon, there will be a commercial shooting. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the driver will pick you up on time. In the evening, there will be a reception, and all the clothes will be prepared for you."

Sadie opened the thick notebook, which recorded Pixie's one-week itinerary in detail.

Pixie just sighed secretly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "There was Luo's match yesterday. I couldn't watch the match on the plane, what happened?"

Sati hesitated for a while, then whispered: "I lost..."

There are winners and losers in football games, and Pixie understands that.

But in the assistant's tone, she heard a bad premonition.

"What happened?" Pixie asked nervously, "Did Luo get hurt? Forget it, I'll see for myself."

Pixie hurriedly turned on her phone and quickly found the sports section.

"Fierce defeat, Leicester City's luck is out!" "

"King of London?Rosie has lost herself in illusory goals! "

"No shots in the audience, last year's super rookie, this year's soft-legged shrimp! "

Rosie, already addicted to the London cabaret! "

"disappointment?Fifty thousand pounds for a fallen genius! "

"Once again, players conquer the football world, and the entertainment industry conquers players!" "

……

Pixie's fingers snapped up, all the negative news about Rosie.

"Driver, I'm not going home!" Pixie patted the back of the driver's chair and said, "Take me to Leicestershire."

Assistant Sadie was a little anxious and said, "Miss Lotter, what about the shooting in the afternoon and the reception in the evening?"

Pixie said seriously: "Everything will be postponed, the shooting will be postponed, and the reception will not be attended. I must see Luo today!"

"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy." Shadi wondered: "The afternoon shoot was booked a month ago, and if you push it, the other party will think you're playing big cards."

"There is also a reception at night, which is a celebration banquet specially arranged by the company. If you are not present, I'm afraid..."

Pixie just wanted to see Rossi quickly, she knew in her heart that the media reports would drive people completely crazy.

At this time, she wanted to be by Rossi's side.

"It's difficult?" Pixie said coldly: "Tell them, if it's difficult, then don't do it at all!"
