Ranieri, the old handsome man! Pulling Rome out of the mud is so magical!
3:47pm, 11 May 2025【Football】
I have been watching Serie A recently, and I was stunned by the rebound of Rome. You said that in the past few months, in December last year, they were still wandering around the 15th place in the standings, 15 points behind fourth place! How many people thought this season was a failure?
I guess few people believe they can climb up. What's the result? Slap in the face! Now they have climbed to fourth place! It's so magical, it's an incredible counterattack!
This magical drama-like plot has to be mentioned as the "pot-making maker" - Claudio Ranieri, the old handsome man. I thought before that this "Ranieli effect" is really not a fan of. You see media analysis and said that he is not only good at tactics, but also good at making players' relationships and can turn human feelings into tactical coordination on the field. I think he has that "unique skill", which can see the other side of the player, and then twist a piece of loose sand into a rope, completely revitalizing the team's atmosphere and spirit.
Look at what he did? Change the array! I made an atypical three-center-back (similar to 352), and someone like Soulé actually pulled him back to play for the wingback. This is my brain! Then you look at Shomurodov, who was rented out before, and Celik, who felt he wanted to play as a substitute until he died, both of them were alive!
Especially Chelic, he turned into a right-back (braccetto) among the three central defenders. His defensive position and ball play seemed much more stable than before. Are you convinced by this ability to transform? [Like]
I remember it started after losing to Como on December 22 last year. After that, Roma was like a chicken blood, first defeated Parma 5-0, and then began a terrifying 19 unbeaten games! I didn't lose the second half of Serie A! From falling behind by 15 points to getting fourth, do you think those who think they can’t do it?
Having said that, putting aside those messy starts, can Ranieri really play like that if he takes over this lineup? Look at who is in the team: the young goalkeeper Svilar is getting more and more powerful, with Mancini, Ndicka, and the rented Angeliño playing well; the midfielders include Koné, Christant; Dybala is ahead, and Dovbyk who scored 17 goals but always has a blackmail! In addition to the resurrected by Ranieri, Sumurodov and Chelic, and Sulai who showed signs of "top level"...
Looking at the list alone, is this configuration too much to compete for the qualification of the Champions League? I think I was really misled by that disastrous start and chaotic management before, making everyone feel that this team is built poorly and the players are not good either.
Therefore, the core embodiment of the "Ranieli effect" is that he brings the team again order and tranquility, and has wiped out all the off-court and instability factors. Only when the team is determined can they play things out. What is the most slutty?
Look, Dybala is injured and stopped again this season (this is really Roma's daily life), but the team can still win and still go all the way! Unlike before, I always felt that without Dybala, I would not be able to attack. This shows that Ranieri has revitalized the team as a whole from the tactical, psychological, emotional, and even media levels, allowing Roma to bid farewell to "Dybala dependence". This is so valuable!
Now the media always rumored that Ranieri would retire and become a consultant after finishing this season. Alas, it’s a pity to watch him pull the team out of the quagmire and complete such an incredible counterattack, he clearly proved his ability, but he might lose such an old coach who can revitalize both people (players) and tactics! Do you think it's a waste?
But maybe this is his cleverness. He retires after success, leaving behind a magical season and beautiful memories that have been recorded in history, without wading through the muddy waters that may appear in the future.
