Claudio Ranieri >>> Slimani >>> Does it make sense?

[Fennec-Fox]

I read in an Algerian forum something that goes like this...

Before the passage of Ranieri in Valencia,

Valencia was coached by Valdano...

During that time Algerian player Moussa Saib was playing there (That's why he recalls all this story )

and there was another player called Burrito Ortega...

Both players were technically gifted and stars of the team under Valdano.

Valdano was rather into playing beautiful entertaining football....

First 6 games, 6 defeats!

So Claudio took over...

After the first game, he changed completely the way Valencia plays

Compact, regrouped behind and counter attacks...

Saib and Ortega Bye thank you very much!

He buit the team around 2 strikers

Piojo Lopez et Andrien Illie nicknamed 'Cobra"

The latest was great on air

Claudio led Valencia to top 4

With a crazy win over Barca in Camp Nou (Video below) 3-4

Now according to the writer...

Maybe Claudio wants to do the same thing with Vardy and Slimani...

Vardy got the same profile as Piojo Lopez and Slimani same profile as Cobra

looks like Claudio was never fully satisfied with either Okazaki and Ulloa..

Probably thought they could have done better for assisting Vardy and sharing the responsibility of scoring with him ...

and they were kinda the weakest link (forget about the defensive midfield delima right now! :p)

 

Some footage of a young handsome tinkerman Claudio beating Van Gaal+Guardiola+Enrique at once

Enjoyed that video, lots of legends on show like Carboni and Lopez.

 

Both teams' defences were shite though.

Completely forgot that Ruud Hesp once played for Barcelona.

Yes please. We need two strikers that are able to score if we keep with this 442. Thd sooner slimmy is in the first 11 the better.

[Nick]

He'll play Vards and Slim as first choice eventually, yeah.

That video brings back memories. Michael Reiziger, Ruud Hesp, Sonny Anderson, Claudio Lopez.

Well he confirmed in his pre match conference that Slimani would play Champions League this week
