Chapter 25 On the Right Track
Updated: 2013-03-09
After winning three consecutive victories, Dick's coaching path was on track - these three consecutive victories consumed 40% of his savings card, but what surprised Dick was that in these three games, except for a survey card after the first victory, he won nothing after the second game. After defeating Albacete for three consecutive victories, he got a card that made him feel a little strange.
Wealth card, primary, can increase your wealth by one hundred thousand dollars.
"Fuck, I won't be sentenced to a huge amount of property and a crime of unknown origin." Dick thought to himself as he looked at the card.
Europe is not China. Everyone’s income needs to have legal channels, at least for most people. Dick is now poor and all his wealth is the salary of several thousand dollars that Hill prepaid for him. He has a car and a house, but the car is a second-hand Mercedes-Benz, a small apartment, and it is also provided to him by the club!
If he really had a hundred thousand dollars on hand, he wouldn't be able to tell how the money came about.
Dick originally wanted to ignore it, or wait until he figured out how to use the card before using it, but the prompt below the card told him that this kind of card needs to be used within one week - it has a life span.
"It turns out there is still a life span... Forget it, just use it."
He sighed a lot, and Dick raised his hand and used the card, and then... he didn't spend a stack of money in front of him...
"Where are the one hundred thousand dollars? Where did you go?" Dick shouted to the sky, then shook his head, preparing to wait for Pedro to teach him Spanish - this is his daily routine.
After today's teaching ended, Pedro suddenly said: "I bought a few year-end lottery tickets today, hoping to win the prize."
"Year-end lottery? What is this?" Dick's heart moved and then asked.
"It's the Big Fatty Lottery." Pedro said with a smile, and then explained to Dick a few words, Big Fatty Lottery, year-end lottery, and Christmas Lottery all talk about in Spain. This is the oldest lottery in Spain. It has been issued since 1812 and is also one of the largest annual lottery events in the world. The results were announced on December 22nd every year on Christmas eve. The scale of this year's lottery pool is as high as one billion US dollars, which is the most bought by the Spanish. On average, each Spanish buys three such lottery tickets every year...
"How many first prizes are there?" Dick asked with a smile.
"After tax deduction, it will be about 100,000 US dollars... The second prize is also 20,000 US dollars, and the winning rate of this lottery is very high, and there is a 70% reward." Pedro replied.
Dick's expression began to become weird - was it through this method? Then I really had to buy this lottery...
"Where can I buy one? I think I'm lucky this year. I found a job and led the team well..." Dick said to Pedro.
"There are everywhere, and there is a betting point outside the Atletico youth training camp." Pedro replied.
Then Dick bought one... and then threw it at home without caring about it. The number is quite special, 99101, which was exactly the day after he traveled to Spain.
Dick had a happy life in the following days. From October to November, Atletico Madrid second team was completely on track. In total, Atletico Madrid second team achieved seven wins and two draws, including defeating Getafe at home, defeating Villarreal 2-1 away, and drawing Levante in a big score at home - these are all strong teams that performed well in La Liga later!
After achieving such an outstanding result, Atletico Madrid's second team's ranking has naturally risen. Now they have reached the eighth position, and are only five points away from Villarreal, who ranked third. If it weren't for them, they may have caused panic among many teams.
During this period, Torres' performance was still eye-catching. He scored eleven goals in the nine league rounds, of which he scored six goals in the first three games alone. Everyone was impressed by Atletico Madrid's second team's performance. Even the most demanding media had to admit that the 21-year-old young head coach, Dick, brought the change to Atletico Madrid's second team.
Now Dick has appeared in the media more and more times. The previous sensational bet has made many people have an impression of this young head coach. In the past month, Dick, who has appeared in the newspapers, has always been accompanied by Atletico Madrid's second team victory.
"Buddies, there are three rounds left, and we're about to have Christmas."
Pedro's teaching is very good. Now Dick can skillfully talk to the players in Spanish. Of course, it is still difficult to write in full. Dick doesn't care about writing. He just needs to speak with his mouth.
"Now we are ranked eighth and only three points away from Getafe, who is ranked sixth. I think if we can be among the top six before Christmas, we will definitely have a very happy Christmas."
Except for the first three rounds of leagues, he didn't even have a goal card in the next league, but he still achieved quite good results, which made Dick more confident in himself. As he continued to lead the team to win, he became more and more convinced of this young head coach within the team.
Now that Dick spoke, all the players immediately shouted loudly: "No problem! Let's defeat them!"
Dick looked at the players and smiled. This was his first game. Now he did a good job. In these games, he also obtained several messy cards. For example, one is a fanning card. After using it, he can make his two competitors fight to the death and make his fisherman profit. Another is an injury card. After using it, he can randomly injured a player in the opponent's main lineup. The last one is a weather card, which can make the weather in the game more beneficial to the party. Seeing that the usage period of these cards is before the end of the season, Dick put all the cards on the shelf and did not use them, but wanted to get some good results with his real skills.
Dick now also figured it out that these cards can certainly be used as a killer, but after all, they cannot always rely on these things to make a living. In the final analysis, they still need to become a better head coach and a head coach who can lead the team to win. Only such cards can play a role in the icing on the cake. It just so happens that they are leading the second team to play in the Spanish Second Division, and their position is also stable. There is no need to use too many of these things. Now it is a good opportunity to strengthen their team-leading ability.
How to strengthen? In addition to learning, you can gain experience in leading the team to play games. As a head coach, you must not talk about it on paper. If you lead the team to play games more and more situations, the experience will naturally come!
Such a good opportunity naturally cannot rely too much on those magical cards. Just like in martial arts novels, you often use external objects to increase your abilities, and you never get beautiful step by step.
After leading the team in these games, Dick began to clearly realize his advantages and shortcomings. His advantages are that he has more novel tactics and changes than the current head coaches, especially he has a clear understanding of the future development of football theory, while his disadvantages are in terms of experience and specific operational abilities. If you want to make yourself better, you must make up for this aspect.
So during this period, Dick's spare time was basically spent enriching himself. He observed various game videos and secretly observed how Marina led the team training during training. Even if he didn't want to lead the team training, he still needed to learn to observe the players' status and characteristics from training to make more appropriate arrangements. This is not contradictory.
In the next three games, Dick led the team still had good results. They first went to the island where Tenerife was, then tied the opponent, and then returned to home court and relied on the goals of Torres and central defender captain Gaspar to beat Sporting Gijon at home. Then on December 19th, in the last round of the league with the winter break, they defeated Vilva three-to-one away, ranking sixth in the Spanish Second Division with ten wins, five draws and four losses!
"You did a great job...Dick, from 21st to 6th, the leap is really surprising!"
After the last game before the winter break, Dick was summoned by Chairman Old Hill. His internship contract was three months and was about to expire on January 9th. At that time, the winter break had just passed. At that time, Hill asked him to come, naturally for his contract.
He led the team for two months and ten days, played twelve games, nine wins and three draws - this kind of result can be considered a top-notch score if anyone changes his performance, not to mention that Dick is a standard rookie. Before that, he didn't even have a resume in coaching the youth team. How could it not be surprising?
"Boss, I said that it would not be a mistake to choose me."
Dick continued to maintain his high-profile attitude, and Old Hill also admired his point: "Yes, it seems that I really made the right choice at that time... You passed the internship period, tell me, what are your requirements?"
"The two-year contract, the salary is a little higher... One million pesettas is too little, it's enough for me to live. Robert and the others have received more than me." Dick first made his own money request.
"No problem, the monthly salary of 1.5 million pesetta is paid once a month, and it will cost about 100,000 US dollars a year. In Spain, there are almost no coaches in the second team who have taken this number." Old Hill said with a smile.
"The profiteer, the profiteer, the head coach of the second team really doesn't have this number, but now the second team playing in Spain is only Atletico Madrid's second team..."
Dick complained in his heart, but he didn't have many ways. It was indeed very good to get this number with his resume. Even if he suffered a little loss, he would have to forget it.
"This is fine... Besides, I want to move to a better place to live. The apartment I live in is too small, and there is not enough information for me." Dick continued to make the conditions.
"You can choose the apartment near the youth training camp, and the club pays for it." Old Hill also knew that the salary for Dick was very low, so he was still generous in this regard: "Is there any?"
"Well, it seems that there is no more... By the way, I also need a computer, a TV, and a video recorder. At the same time, I need the Internet to browse the news, which is all for work." Dick finally remembered this question.
"This is no problem." Old Hill didn't care about this at all. Electrical appliances in Europe are still very cheap, which means the Internet is a little troublesome. After all, the Internet has not been popularized on a large scale, but in a big city like Madrid, it is not too difficult to find an apartment with an Internet.
"Then I'm thankful for the boss... In the second half of the season, I will definitely make Atletico Madrid's second team perform better!" Dick stood up with satisfaction, then patted his chest and said.
