Marriner has reason to remain pessimistic about the next game. Also not optimistic about Dick is Hill Jr. - as the general manager of Atletico Madrid, he does not have many opportunities to intervene in the first team. Old Hill is a
A person with a strong desire for power, the other two shareholders of the club are not a threat to him at all, because the old Hill owns nearly 90% of Atletico Madrid's shares! Therefore, the young Hill values the second team more. These days, he
He also had a good observation of the training of the second team. Now he has determined that Dick is indeed a coach who does not understand training, or has no interest in training at all - can such a coach lead the team to play well?
What a joke!
The personnel changes in Atletico Madrid's second team did not attract the attention of the outside media. After all, there is not much media attention to the second team. Even if Atletico Madrid's second team is the only second team in La Liga this season, there will not be much attention.
Many people pay attention.
Compared with Atletico Madrid's first team, which has won nine La Liga titles, Atletico Madrid's second team does not attract much attention.
However, Hill knows that when this round of league starts, everyone will be surprised that Atletico Madrid's second team will find a Chinese as the head coach - this is big news! Spain has its own head coach, and some from Europe.
There are head coaches from various countries, including those from Brazil and Argentina in South America, but no Asian coach has ever been able to coach any professional team in Spain...
The high degree of attention will definitely bring huge pressure, and the harsh media will also look at this Oriental with a critical eye - this is for sure, although the level of the Spanish head coach is not considered top in Europe, however
As one of the traditional five major leagues, the Spanish media has always been very demanding. At the same time, they have always been the same as Spanish fans, pursuing both winning and looking good. And a head coach who can do this can be said to be
Incomparably rare, and Europeans naturally look down on members from Asia, a football desert, in terms of football. Even if they do not do badly, there will be discrimination. Under this pressure, this is not
I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time before the guy I like gets kicked out...
Little Hill didn't like Dick because he felt that this guy was too frivolous and didn't look like a good head coach. He didn't know how he deceived his shrewd father and got such a position.
But as long as I am here, Atletico Madrid will not allow a guy who relies on deception to make a living in the club!
Little Hill is not as shrewd as his father, but he is even more ruthless and ruthless. To put it nicely, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. To put it poorly, he will, to a large extent, pass through himself.
He does things based on his likes and dislikes. Unfortunately, Dick is the kind of person he doesn't like.
Dick didn't know about this, but even if he knew it, he might not care - this club belongs to Old Hill after all. As long as Old Hill is satisfied with him, his position will be as stable as Mount Tai!
Young Hill is indeed Old Hill's son, but with Old Hill's character... Hehe, boy, it will still take you a long time to take over!
In the early morning of October 9th, Dick got up early. After tidying himself up, he put on a set of sportswear - this was also the only set of clothes he had.
Poor poor class...
He already had a rough idea of the personnel and tactical arrangements for this game. Although he was not very familiar with the upcoming opponent, Dick was still confident that he could defeat his opponent.
In this round, Atletico Madrid's second team is playing at home. Their opponent Lleida is little-known. It is estimated that in two years they will be a Spanish team. With Torres in his hand, what else can he do if he defeats the opponent?
Is there a problem? What’s more, just to be on the safe side, I am planning to use up some of my ammunition storage in this game...
What storage? Of course the ten goal cards!
In Dick's view, if you use this kind of goal card carefully, it actually doesn't have much use. For example, if you divide it into ten league games, it may ostensibly allow you to score one more goal in each game.
The theoretical maximum score achieved is thirty points - but what about in reality? Maybe in some games if you score more goals, you will only get one more goal difference, and in some games if you score more goals, you will only lose one less goal...
…
Good steel should be used on the blade, and Dick is not the kind of person who makes calculations but loses the overall situation. In his opinion, this kind of goal card should either not be used, or should be used in large quantities, such as
If you were leading Barcelona, you would probably have to score at least five goals in the Derby of the Century. A 5-0 victory would immediately make you as secure as Barcelona's head coach!
Now is the first coaching game. Dick knows that many people in the club must be watching his joke. After all, he is an airborne soldier. He is only able to sit in this position because of the boss's appreciation. Based on Dick's previous experience of working with foreign companies,
From experience, even foreigners are quite unhappy with this kind of airborne troops.
Not to mention anything else, there are only three assistant coaches. They were all assistant coaches in the first team before. Their familiarity with the club and their contribution to the club are far superior to themselves. That Marriner is even more so.
A pure Atletico Madrid man - he made his debut in the Atletico Madrid youth team, and then dedicated all his career to Atletico Madrid. His performance in Atletico Madrid allowed him to enter the national team (although it was only in a friendly match
(played in 2016), then retired from Atletico Madrid, and then became the coach of the youth team, the coach of the second team, and the assistant coach of the first team... At the age of 43, he can be said to have spent almost thirty years in his life.
Lidu is playing for Atletico Madrid. Is it possible that such a prestige can be controlled by an airborne soldier like him? Don't be kidding. Besides, Dick doesn't believe that Marriner would be willing to be an assistant all the time.
Coach, the previous head coach resigned. I'm afraid this Marriner is the one who wanted to be the head coach of the second team the most, but he was parachuted in to take up the position. Who would be happy to replace him?
Now it seems that Marina is still working hard in training these days, which is quite kind!
Now Dick's situation is equivalent to being in the imperial court in ancient China. Because he suddenly got acquainted with the emperor, he was then assigned to be a high official in a certain place. He had no foundation in the local area and no foundation in the imperial court. He only relied on the emperor's appreciation.
Suddenly occupying a high position - what is going on? This is the so-called lonely minister! Even if the emperor appreciates it, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold...
What Dick wants to be now is such a lonely minister.
But the good thing is that football is simpler than officialdom after all. As long as you lead the team and achieve good results, you will gradually be able to win the hearts of a group of players. With the support of the boss, you will not be able to gain a foothold.
So difficult.
It is precisely because of this that the first game must be played well. This time Dick plans to use two goal cards to completely seize the advantage.
In fact, he has not been idle these days, and has a certain understanding of the strength of this second team. After all, it is the team that won the second place in the Spanish Second Division last year. The overall strength is still very good. The reason for its poor results this season
, the big reason is because the backbone of the striker who performed well last season, Jose Mari, who scored 22 league goals in a season, was transferred to the first team. Without this player who can bring a lot of goals,
As a forward, Torres was unable to quickly adapt to the rhythm of professional games, which also greatly affected the results of Atletico Madrid's second team.
The other main players have not changed much, but last season Atletico Madrid's second team's tactics revolved around Jose Mari. This forward has very good skills, strong grabbing ability and passing ability. He can do everything by himself.
Supported 80% of Atletico Madrid's offense. Now that this core player has left, Atletico Madrid's second team will of course need to adjust. Although other players have good abilities, they are not the kind of players who can make the final decision. Atletico Madrid
The biggest problem facing the second team now is that the players who made the final decision did not perform well enough, which is why they are in the current predicament.
After understanding this, Dick was naturally full of confidence in the next results of Atletico Madrid's second team.
The first thing to solve is the problem of Torres.
In Dick's view, there is no problem with Torres' ability. After all, he will be a golden boy who will be famous throughout Spain and even Europe in the future. Although he suddenly became a fool after moving to Chelsea, that is still a matter of the future.
Torres is now like a train moving at high speed, making huge progress every day.
He used two high-end goal cards, which can be assigned to a certain player - Dick certainly had no other choice, he planned to use them all on Torres - sometimes young players
What is needed is a little bit of confidence. If he can score two goals in this game, Torres' confidence will definitely be fully restored, which will also be of great help to the performance of Atletico Madrid's second team in the future.
This is what Dick believes. When you have to use your ability, there is no time when you need to use it more than this time. If you get good things, you have to use them in time. The interest will not increase if you leave them.
As for the personnel arrangement, Dick planned to use the previous personnel arrangement. Firstly, because he did not observe any outstanding substitute players, and secondly, he had just taken office, and it would not be good to suddenly make drastic changes to the lineup——
There are no direct connections among the coaches. The only thing that can win over is the hearts of the players. If drastic changes are made to the main lineup from the very beginning and cause panic, then Dick will be really alone and helpless. Such a thing is very conceited and smart.
Of course Dick wouldn't do it.
The team is actually a small society. You need to know what you should and shouldn't do. At this time, Dick couldn't help but start to appreciate the experiences in his previous life - working, running errands, etc.
He has worked in foreign companies, made extra money, and worked as a civil servant... Although the level is not particularly high, and he has faced ordinary people, in fact, the jobs he has worked in are relatively complicated.
Being able to hang out in these places, Dick, among other things, is really well-versed in people and worldliness. He basically won't offend anyone inadvertently - he seemed a bit high-profile before, but that's how Dick treats himself.
Protective measures, the person who should be attracted, he will not make such a mistake.
"The lineup for today's game is still the 442 we are used to, with goalkeeper Sanchez, defender Elbari on the right, Otes on the left, center backs Gaspar and Mariano, midfielders Cubino and Lima, and Card on the left.
Los, Domingo on the right, forwards are Zacinos and Torres... Carlos, although you are a left midfielder, your range of activities should not be limited to the wing. You can organize in the center at any time and give full play to Otes's ability.
The ability to assist, attack around Torres, and beat our opponents into the gutter!"
