Coach, I want to play football!

Ranieri is leading the team for pre-match training. The most important issues are the players' physical reserves, lineup running-in, and counterattack and defensive tactics drills.

The club's general manager Su Shan and owner Vichai are not idle.

Because Ye Qi does not have a work permit, Leicester can sign Ye Qi, but he cannot play in England matches.

Now the task of Vichai and Su Shan is to help Ye Qi apply for a labor certificate, otherwise the deal of introducing Ye Qi would be completely meaningless.

To use the special genius clause, in addition to some information about Ye Qi's previous football and award records, the most important thing is that one to three people who have far-reaching influence in English football must appear in court to testify.

Leicester City doesn't have many connections, and the first thing Su Shan thinks of is the former celebrities of the club.

And the most famous and best-connected former professional player who played for Leicester City is Lineker.

Lineker is also a celebrity in English football, whether it is his status as a former main player of the national team, a former World Cup top scorer, or his fame in the football media industry after retirement, it is very suitable.

What worried Su Shan was that Lineker had previously expressed his disapproval of Ye Qi's transfer deal, so he estimated that the other party would probably reject it.

What Su Shan never expected was that after Lineker knew the purpose of the group's visit, he agreed very simply.

Lineker said that it is his own business that he is not optimistic about this transfer deal.But in terms of supporting the club, he will not change, it is two different things.

For example, your parents tell you to buy a Sagitar or LaVida, but you insist on buying a Civic.

In this case, if you want to say that you are still short of 2 yuan, it is estimated that your parents will not support you to buy a Civic, but they will still help you pay [-] yuan in the end.

The Leicester City executives headed by Su Shan breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Lineker would refuse.

But what they didn't expect was that Lineker didn't just refuse.At the same time, he also said that he would take his good friend Alan Shearer with him.

This makes the management of Leicester City happier. Of course, Lineker is not safe, but adding Alan Schiller is a bit of a spectrum.

Following Su Shan and the others, they went to find two celebrities, Robbie Savage and Martin O'Neill, non-stop.

What they don't know is that Ranieri is actually working hard here.

The Italian coach used his personal relationship to find Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich, and his relationship with Abramovich has always been good.

Following Abramovich, I found Mourinho again, and wanted the famous coach to help.

When Mourinho heard that he was going to testify for Ye Qi in court, he agreed without thinking too much.After all, he personally admired Ye Qi, and he wanted Chelsea to introduce Ye Qi back then.

But the two are somewhat related.

The procedure for applying for a labor certification hearing is complicated, and the top executives of Leicester City have been slow for almost a week.

Ye Qi was the top scorer in La Liga last season and the winner of the European Golden Boot. He also led Villarreal to the Copa del Rey last season and played well in the final.

Plus Lineker, Alan Schiller, Mourinho led a luxurious witness group, with Robbie Savage and Martin O'Neill.

Ye Qi's labor certificate was issued smoothly.

Not only did Leicester City breathe a sigh of relief, but even Ye Qi relaxed a lot.

He was afraid that if he could not get his labor certificate, he would be embarrassed at that time, and could only be loaned to a team in another league for training.

Then it would be better to stay in the yellow submarine!

Leicester City's pre-season training went very smoothly, at least as the head coach Ranieri is very satisfied.

When the time came to mid-July, the Blue Fox also started its own warm-up match schedule.

The first is the friendly match against Birmingham. In this friendly match, Ranieri arranged Ye Qi's partner Shinji Okazaki to start the center forward, and then tried Mahrez on the wing to cooperate with Dyer's wings.

The midfielder is Inle's partner Drinking Water God Linkwater.

During the training period, Ranieri did not divide the team into two very fine lineups, the main force and the substitute lineup. The players were being combined and dismantled by him.

Obviously, Ranieri has not yet found a suitable partner for each line.

But it doesn't matter, he already has some plans in his mind, but he needs to test them in the warm-up.

In this match, Ye Qi and Okazaki Shinji's partner was not bad, but it is probably also the reason why the opponent's strength is not good.

When it came time to play Nottingham Forest for the second time, Ranieri made some adjustments to the starting lineup.

Let Ye Qi partner with Vardy, and then the all-rounder Albrighton on the wing replaced Dyer.

The main reason is that Dyer rushed too far forward, and Mahrez on the other side likes to walk towards the middle, so the defense on both sides is relatively weak.

After all, Leicester City is a team that plays defensive counterattacks. If the defense is not strong, what can they do to counterattack?

The midfielder position was tried with Inle partner Kanter.

In fact, when Kanter was in Caen, he did not play a defensive midfielder, but a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and even played a nine and a half and a full-back.

But during the pre-season training camp, Ranieri discovered that Kanter is actually more suitable as a midfielder. This guy is like a perpetual motion machine and can't run to death.

Moreover, the execution of tactics is relatively high, and the pressing is also forceful.Looking at it this way, isn't it material for playing a defensive midfielder and an all-around midfielder?

In the final friendly match, Leicester City beat Nottingham Forest [-]-[-], almost turning a friendly match into a friendly match.

But for Ranieri, the harvest of this warm-up match is not four goals.Instead, he gradually figured out how the players played on the field and some coordination.

For example, on the front line, Ye Qi and Vardy clearly cooperated with each other. When Ye Qi stood up, Vardy moved very flexibly, and even hovered between the offside lines for a while, waiting for Ye Qi to make the ball.

When Ye Qi went up to attack, Vardy immediately moved to help Ye Qi stretch the space.

In the frontcourt, Ye Qi, Vardy and Mahrez are basically the main players.

Albrighton also performed well, and he deserves to be an all-rounder on the wing.The semi-main force is certain, let's see if the opponent's performance in the following games can stabilize the main force.

What surprised Ranieri the most was actually Kanter. The defensive midfielder who was placed in the midfielder used his active pressing and extremely wide coverage to almost allow Nottingham Forest's striker and midfielder to play a little bit. No temper.

Then the third warm-up match was a big test for Leicester City, because their opponent was the Red Army Liverpool!

It's a mule or a horse, and it's time to pull it out for a walk.
