Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Third, Make Adequate Preparations
After getting the news of Ranieri's dismissal, Kintag called him immediately.
"Claudio, you..."
Just said something, Jin Taige suddenly didn't know what to say, so he hesitated for a while.
Ranieri on the other end of the phone smiled: "Tiger, didn't you say that I look bad and need to take a good rest? I just have time to take a good rest now."
This remark made Jin Taige very uncomfortable, and he quickly explained: "Claudio, that's not what I meant..."
"Haha, Tiger, I'm just joking, I don't mean to blame you, if you can get people dismissed with just a word, then you have already won all the championships..." Ranieri said with a smile, But he immediately reacted, "Oh, yes, you have already won all the championships..."
Hearing Ranieri's voice on the phone, Jin Taige felt very emotional. Ever since he met Ranieri, he seemed to have never heard Ranieri's hearty laughter. Even if they miraculously won the Premier League runner-up last season, Ranieri did not laugh so relaxed.
"Claudio, if you have the opportunity to come to Manchester, let's have a good chat."
"No problem, anyway, I have nothing to do now, I can go wherever I want. But you are different, the road to defending the seven crowns is not easy..."
"Where are you going next?"
"Tiger, I am different from you. You are young, but I am already old. I am exhausted after more than one season in Leicester City. Now I want to go back to my home in Italy and have a good rest. Cultivate your spirit. Wait until you have had enough rest before considering where to go next."
"That's fine. You can bring a relegation team like Leicester City to the runner-up in the league. It's already amazing. Come to Manchester when you have time, and we'll have a good chat then."
"No problem! See you later!"
Hanging up Ranieri's phone, Kintag was not only a little sad, he was sitting on the sofa at home, looking at the dark sky outside the window, the night was low and cloudy, and even the moon could not be seen. People feel a little depressed.
Wen Na took the children to sleep, and Kim Tae-ge came to the courtyard alone. It is the beginning of February now, and although it has passed the deep winter, the weather is still a bit cool. Jin Taige closed his eyes, still thinking about Ranieri's dismissal.
Last season, he was still runner-up in the league. Just halfway through this season, Ranieri dismissed get out of class sadly. Football is so cruel, it is true for players, and it is also true for coaches. No matter how good the relationship with the head coach is, as long as a few consecutive games are not in good form, the player will still be abandoned; and even if the head coach has a dazzling resume, as long as the performance of the team declines, then the get out of class will be dismissed Danger.
Claudio Claudio Ranieri, who was brilliant last season, brought the relegation team Leicester City to the runner-up position in the league, and even had the opportunity to pull Manchester United down. Who would have thought that he would be sadly dismissed this season?
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, Jin Taige thought of himself again. If I can't continue to bring champions to Manchester United, then maybe my coaching position will also be lost. Now that Ranieri is dismissed from get out of class, maybe he will be on the verge of dismissing get out of class in a few days. Who dares to say that there is no such possibility?
After Ranieri dismissed get out of class, Kintag became more nervous in the subsequent training and games. This kind of tension is not an emotional tension, but a requirement for the state of the team. Jin Taige requires the players to maintain a tense and serious game state at all times. They must not underestimate or let go of every opponent. Be serious about it.
And the players have also noticed the state of Kintag recently, their boss has been a little serious recently.
During the training break, Alonso asked, "What's wrong with the boss recently? He seems very serious these days. Does he have something on his mind?"
Captain Van Dijk also said with a serious face: "Maybe it's because of the upcoming Champions League knockout match. The boss must want to cheer us up. You know Paris Saint-Germain is a ruthless character.
Once we are not careful, we may capsize. "
Van Dijk's words are absolutely correct, Kintag is most concerned about the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Now this Paris team is too strong. Under the leadership of Ibrahimovic, they already have the European champions. Their strength is definitely not inferior to Manchester United, especially their strong attack power.
The game against Paris is on February 15, and the first game is away in France. On the evening of February 11, Manchester United will also usher in a Premier League game, which is the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League. Manchester United will play against Watford at home.
Watford performed well this season. They are currently ranked 8th in the league, and their strength is definitely not weak.
But even though Watford is not weak, Kintag still has almost all the substitute players in this game. And there are several good rotation players, and they just sat on the bench in this game.
Kintag is fully prepared for the next game against Paris.
From the first minute of this game, Manchester United played very difficult. Watford is now only three points away from Tottenham, which is sixth in the league. If they win this game, they are likely to tie with Tottenham in points, and even rise to sixth with a goal difference advantage. You need to know whether you can reach the top six and whether you can participate in Europe. For a Premier League team, it means strength, honor and tens of millions of European income.
Therefore, Watford played very actively at the beginning of this game. They were very happy to see that Manchester United sent almost all substitute players, and they were more confident in winning this game.
In the 13th minute of the game, Watford opened the scoring.
The Italian striker Okaka, who they just bought from Anderlecht this summer for 11 million euros, had an eye-catching performance in this game. Hanging straight to the dead corner, Romero touched the ball with his fingertips, but still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.
1 to 0! Watford take the lead at Old Trafford!
Manchester United did not show weakness, and their young people also performed very hard, especially Martial and Fekir on the left and right, both of them performed well.
In the 37th minute of the game, Paval made an assist from the right and passed the ball into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Fekir dunked lightly, passed the Watford defender, and then made a very light pass. Hit close corner succeeded.
1 to 1! Manchester United equalized the score!
The two sides returned to the same starting line!
