Chapter 343 The last time, pizza party
Late at night in June and February, Ranieri's courtyard was still brightly lit.
The Leicester City manager is hosting a special dinner there tomorrow.
The guests are all Leicester City's first team, coaching staff, medical staff and other players and staff.
Since winning the Champions League, the team has experienced three days of celebration.
A grand celebration at the King Power Stadium, a trophy display parade around the city of Leicester, a grand dinner held by government departments, a championship celebration held by various chambers of commerce...
There were countless activities, which made the Leicester City soldiers spend those three days very tiring.
Bu Nao is fine now and it's finally over.
Starting from June to March, the entire Leicester City team will officially enter the holiday season.
After more than a month of rest, everyone can finally let go and enjoy life.
After Ranieri came to Leicester City, he rented a two-storey villa, which was rented for him by Nafuvichai.
When he first moved in there a year ago, Vichai once smiled and said to him: "Man, if I can bring some significant glory to Leicester City, he will buy that house for me!"
It only took one season for Ranieri to do it.
And whether Vichai had officially purchased the villa before Ranieri won the Premier League championship and then put it in Ranieri's name.
The price of more than 3 million euros is without blinking an eye.
That would negate Vichai’s courage and charisma.
Now, Leicester City's success is largely due to Novichai's contribution.
All of these arrangements are not in the direction that Wei Chai is pushing.
Regardless of the joining of Ranieri, the market has successfully introduced talents. Even when Xia Xing joined, Vichai often came forward in person and gave Xia Xing great respect.
In the previous season, the five-time champion was the biggest reward for Fuchou Vichai.
At the club dinner a few days ago, Vichai even spent a lot of money and directly took out part of the Champions League winning prize and distributed it to the players.
The most got one million, the least got more than 100,000.
Even the coaching staff, medical staff, and scouting staff all get their share, no less.
Then everyone would be happy.
Now, the dust has settled and it's time to say goodbye.
In fact, it was just a small farewell. After all, everyone was on vacation, and Yongtuo came a month later.
But no, Ranieri knew very well that when we meet again, many people will no longer be in the team.
The glory of five crowns is unprecedented in England.
Liverpool's five-time champion back then was only the Europa League, and its gold content was of little value.
At this moment, Manchester United's treble winner has been overtaken by Leicester City's quintuple winner.
That kind of glory is enough to be recorded in history.
And the players who have won those honors will definitely be robbed by the whole world.
Is that inevitable?
And Leicester City couldn't force him to stay.
Under the dual pressure of the Jinyuan offensive and the player's will, the club can release him.
Therefore, tomorrow's gathering will be the most complete gathering of five-time champions Leicester City.
Ranieri was thinking, and Shakespeare on the side poked him: "Man, is it time for a big dinner?"
"Oh, okay, he was distracted just now and almost forgot about it."
At this time, the players were chatting very much. Some brought their girlfriends and some brought their children. Everyone was having fun, talking and laughing.
Ranieri stood up: "Guys, let's not just drink wine, their feast is coming!"
"oh oh!"
Everyone cheered excitedly, gathered around the table, and looked expectantly in the direction of the kitchen.
Soon, the hired chef brought a large plate.
"What kind of feast is that?"
“The portion looks pretty big, so it should be good.”
"Do you want to cook Chinese national food? I heard that Ranieri likes it very much."
"looking forward to!"
And when the plate was placed on the table and the lid was lifted, everyone laughed.
A huge pizza!
At this moment, everyone is recalling what Ranieri said wrongly when he first arrived at the beginning of the season.
"Just beg them to win, and he'll treat everyone to pizza! Authentic Italian pizza!"
Now that the team has won five championships, that extra-large pizza fits the bill.
Everyone was not polite, just put it on the legs, no one took a big piece, put it in the mouth and ate it happily, enjoying the joy of delicious food.
Some people ate cheese that dripped down their legs, some burned their mouths, and some were already eating the second piece.
While eating, everyone chatted about unforgettable moments from the past season.
"Guys, he now feels that our most impressive game was not the Champions League final, but the European Super Cup. We also defeated Barcelona 4-3, and he felt that it was more fulfilling than playing Real Madrid! After all, at that time
Barcelona is so awesome, can they dominate Europe this season?"
"That's right, but Yingdong and the others feel that they are not afraid of any of us anymore and that anyone would dare to do it!"
"He felt that in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, their 1-0 victory over Real Madrid was also very important. Without that game, there would be nothing that followed. And they played very fiercely in that game, so Real Madrid would not care about the league.
, worried about the players being injured, so he obviously didn’t try his best, so he thought whether they really won that game with their fighting spirit, and even remembering it makes his blood boil.”
"Speaking of enthusiasm, the two games against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals were enthusiastic. Those guys were just like those in the English Championship and a group of football hooligans. Oh no, they used to be more hooligans than them, hahahaha!"
"Compared to the Champions League, he thinks the league is more interesting. The Manchester City duo, London's top three, and even Liverpool were all defeated by us! When he first came to the Premier League two seasons ago, he felt that they were quite good.
They are so strong, I even feel a little scared when I see them, but now it seems that it is just like this, it is only at that level, hahahaha!"
Listening to the players chatting, Ranieri looked at everyone with a smile and enjoyed the warm moment.
I really hope that moment can be frozen forever.
Ranieri turned around and saw Xia Xing quietly eating pizza on the side.
He chewed carefully, just like he was on the golf course on weekdays, and was extremely serious about everything he did.
Beside him were Aliona and Li De.
Tomorrow he could bring his family members, so he brought his sister and brother over.
Now Xia Xing has regarded the two of them as his own family.
"Xia."
"coach."
Hearing Ranieri's voice, Xia Xing walked over with a faint smile on his face.
Ranieri looked at Xia Xing and couldn't help but like him.
"That young man of mine, does he really have the demeanor of a general? He is so young, but he seems to have experienced many things. He is unfazed by favors and humiliations, Mr. Grand Situation."
"Maybe he experienced too many unpleasant experiences when he was playing football in China."
"Um?"
"So he cherishes every moment now. No matter he wins or loses, he cherishes every moment on the court."
"I don't have a strong desire to win, but I tried my best to do my best, win the victory, and win the championship. Xiao, I am really a genius born for football."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"What are your plans for the Eastern season?"
"I don't have any special ideas, just continue to play football well."
"Well, he liked that answer and wished me the best for the Eastern Conference season."
"thank you."
Seeing Xia Xing turn and leave, Ranieri suddenly felt sad.
If nothing else happens, Leicester City should no longer have that talented star next season...
