Claudio Ranieri

There are so many good midfielders.

I think he's a fantastic player.

A fantastic player and a fantastic boy, because he's a boy.

Everybody loves him and that is important.

No, no, because he was in a little team and when he came he started to play and slowly, slowly I had to put him because I said it's not possible to leave him out on the squad.

In the beginning I put him on the left flank and then in the middle.

It's unbelievable.

You play with two men.

I think it was different because it was the first year for him and then he wanted to understand how to run the football.

And I enjoyed a lot with Roman.

Also, at the end of the season, I arrived second, I arrived in the semi-final of the Champions League, he wanted to change with Jose.

It was OK, because at the beginning, if you remember, he wanted the manager of the national team of England.

And then at the end he said, OK, Claudio, continue to follow your job.

And I had a very good relationship.

Yeah, but if you think, you know, the last, the third year, my year, when before Abramovic bought the team, we didn't buy any players.

any player, and we arrived fourth.

And we arrived in the Champions League for this reason.

Roman bought the Chelsea.

Yes, because we were in Champions League.

It was good.
