Ranieri said with a light sigh and continued: "If you really say it, you will lose face with the team and maybe be reprimanded by the management."

Still not understanding, Vardy asked, "Why?"

"Because the team's goal wasn't to compete for championships, and it couldn't do that." If you open your mouth to the media indiscriminately, they will also make a fuss and hype indiscriminately in order to attract people, and when the time comes, arouse public opinion and problems with the management of fans' psychological expectations, then the impact will be great..." Vardy

and several teammates listened half-understood, and had little interest in continuing to ask, and the group quietly came to the conference room where the press conference was held.

There seem to be more reporters here today than in the past, and although the press booth is still not full, it does not look empty.

As for the beginning of the interview, the first reporter to ask the question really did as Ranieri had predicted, and immediately asked: "Mr. Ranieli, Captain Schmeichel Jr., is the team's goal this season to participate in the competition for the league title?"

Ranieri and Schmeichel Jr. looked at each other, and Ranieri replied: "No, our goal this season is still relegation. The

reporter did not die, and asked: "Mr. Ranieli, this season Leicester City have won 6 wins and 1 draw, and are in first place in the Premier League with 19 points from league points. "

No," Ranieri stressed again, "the number one goal for myself, the management of the team, the players this season is still relegation. The team is doing well at the moment, maybe it has to do with luck, we all know that the test for us will be in the middle and late stages of the league.

Ranieri spoke the same as he did, steady and watertight.

But did Ranieri speak from the heart?

More than a decade later, Ranieli, who is no longer in charge of the team, wrote an autobiography in which he devoted considerable space to reminiscing about the unforgettable 2015/2016 season.

In the book he wrote: "

When I was asked, I firmly told them that my goal with Leicester management and the players was relegation so that we could remain in the Premier League next season.

But I don't exactly think so in my heart, you should know that the Premier League relegation success point line is generally 37 points, that is to say, 37 points up if nothing else, basically has been relegation success.

And we actually accumulated 19 points with 31 rounds left in the league, which means that we only need to score 18 points in the next 31 rounds, and the goal for this season is basically achieved. In my opinion, with the form of the team, this goal is almost easy to achieve.

I had more luxury, hahaha, of course, not to compete for the league title, only people who drink too much think that. My hope was just that after relegation I could lead the team to an extra trophy, whether it was the FA Cup, the FA Cup, the Kingdom Cup or whatever.

I thought that if we could have confirmed the relegation success early, then I could lead the team to a breakthrough in the cup. It's about picking up a leak in the kind of cup competition that big teams don't want to fight for.

Yes, all I was thinking about was getting an extra trophy after relegation, and I didn't think about the crazy story behind it.

At Leicester City's post-match press conference, reporters saw that they could not get out of Ranieli's mouth what they wanted to hear, and turned to Vardy and others.

The words that come out of the captain's or players' mouths are not as good as those of the manager, but they can give them some opportunity to create hot spots.

But Jamie Vardy and Schmeichel Jr. and others received special guidance from Ranieri before the game, and at this time, in the face of reporters' questions, they naturally only said that the goal of this season is relegation, and the rest did not think much about it.

Journalists don't really believe that Leicester City's goal is to compete for the title, and anyone can see that Leicester City's signings do not support them to compete for the title at all, or even support their presence in the middle of the Premier League rankings at the end of the season.

After all, it is not uncommon for clubs to be in the league.

At this time, seeing that there was no way to get the words they wanted from the Leicester players, they simply stopped asking, and after asking a few more questions, the press conference was over.

The news of Leicester City's 7-game unbeaten run quickly spread, as the team really didn't pay much attention, until the news spread, many fans were surprised to find that this small team playing in the Premier League for the second time actually beat the traditional giants of the Premier League BIG6 to rank first in the Premier League after seven rounds.

So some people began to fish in troubled waters and stir up troubled waves.

Some self-media have used Leicester City's hot spot to top the Premier League to attack Manchester United.

"It's funny that a team like Leicester City, which only spends about 40 million a season in the transfer window, is currently in first place in the Premier League, while Manchester United, who has invested more than €150 million in the summer window this season, is actually in sixth place. Leicester City are role models for Premier League teams, with a fraction of last season's top-of-the-table transfer fee doing something the top of the table last season did not do. I think maybe Premier League teams should calm down and think about how our teams are going to run. Perhaps there should be less hype for high-paid and incompetent players like Chen, and more opportunities for low-key and capable Ying like Jamie Vardy. On the local players..."

As soon as this self-media article came out, it immediately caused a huge wave.

Many people stood up to refute it, but there were also people who stood in support.

In the comment section under this self-media, there is a long rebuttal, and the number of likes is even more than the original article: "Just take the facts, is Manchester United's start to the season poor? After seven rounds of league play, only two defeats were played, and the team quickly turned around and made a Champions League opener. And there are no obvious and unsolvable problems within the team, and the team's top scorer has not had a rare goal problem, yes, although Chen has indeed not scored in the league for several games, but in the middle of the league Champions League Chen played a hat-trick, enough to show that Chen does not have the problem of scoring difficulties. I really don't know what kind of mentality the people who are criticizing Manchester United and Chen now, Manchester United did not break the sand in the Champions League, second, did not lose the initiative to compete for the title in the league, and third, did not break out in the small cup, this season is indeed not a perfect start, but it is also considered to be middle and upper, bloggers as football media now write such articles, what is the intention?
