When Rome's South Billiards fans showed the huge TIFO in the 37th round of Serie A to pay tribute to the 74-year-old Ranieri, the entire Olympic stadium seemed to be shrouded in an indescribable mood. At that moment, time seemed to be frozen, and everyone was witnessing a legendary moment - Ranieri's 500th game in Serie A, and also his 16th victory this season to lead Roma. At the beginning of the season, Roma's performance was disappointing, with only 13 points in 12 rounds of the game, ranking 12th. At that time, I'm afraid not many people would have thought that this seemingly troubled team would stage such a thrilling counterattack under the leadership of an old coach in his 70s. In the 25 rounds of the game after Ranieri took over, Roma was reborn, with a record of 16 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, and he scored 53 points. He is now ranked fifth, only one point away from the Champions League.

This is not just a story about football, but also a story about persistence, wisdom and legend. Ranieri, the coach known as the "Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu His tactical adjustments, personnel arrangements and grasp of the players' psychology all show the profound skills of a top coach. Ranieri's coaching career is full of legends. He is the dominant leader of the four major Italian cities derbys. Whether it is the Roman Derby, the Turin Derby, the Milan Derby or the Lighthouse Derby, he has left his figure and his victory trail. He is the 12th coach in Serie A history to coach 500 games, and is also one of the only coaches to coach at least 100 games in the three major leagues of Serie A, La Liga and Premier League. On his opponent list, there are 49 different teams in Serie A history, which is itself a recognition of his coaching career.

Roma's Champions League hopes hang on the line. In the last round of the game, they will challenge Torino away, and Juventus's game results will also directly affect their ranking. For Ranieri, this may be his last goal in his coaching career and the best gift he gave to Rome fans. Regardless of the outcome, Ranieri's legend will be remembered. His persistence, his wisdom, and his passion will all become an indelible part of the football world. And Rome, the team that has been reborn under his leadership, will continue to write its own stories on the green field.
