Ranieri: Hope there are more fairy tales in Blue Foxes Italy relies too much on tactics players
Ranieri, who won an award from the Italian Coach Association today, told the media about the elements of becoming a good coach.
Ranieri: "Of course, be honest with the players and tell them what you think, even if they don't sound nice. You have to understand people who are vulnerable, but in general, my criticism is always one-on-one, face-to-face. I've never said to the players like 'We lose it' and see what you did'. I'm just trying to improve what I have and have been lucky enough to have many video clips to show where something went wrong."
"I believe that showing players doing well is more motivating than criticizing them doing badly. You need to be training Correct mistakes in practice, some players can understand them at once, while some players can't remember them. If you can, you will replace them, otherwise you can only give them more hugs and keep moving forward. "Of course, you have to keep your mind up all the time. Every time you are fired, I go around Europe to see how other coaches work because I think it's important. It opens up ideas."
Ranieri is also unique because of his work experience in many countries: "I think in Italy we rely so much on tactics that it's hard to fit in after being here. In the UK Gran and France, tactics are also important, but not as special as in Italy. There, I will set some basic concepts and then let them cooperate with each other according to the characteristics of the players. And in Italy, we limit the players too much. At the same time, don't listen to people who say we only focus on defensive counterattacks, when you face an opponent who is much stronger than you, you have to leave ten people behind the ball to defend. So, we can be Italians, but we can't lose ourselves, and also keep an open mind and accept other ideas. "
" When I came to Leicester City, they just fired the coach. , and has always been considered a lift team. The chairman asked me to lead the team to relegation. Over time, we gradually reached the 40-point safety line. I tried not to let the lads take too much responsibility. Step by step, we created a wonderful symbiosis between coaches, teams and fans. I hope there will be more Leicester City fairy tales in the future. "
"I hope another team can find their beautiful North Star, and in the same season, it may be that other big clubs are not as stable as they always have. I hope that this will happen because that's the charm of football."
