Chapter two hundred and nineteen Dick in a good mood
When leaving Hill's office, Dick had a smile on his face.
Old Hill's words are correct. In the previous two seasons, Dick's signings were all about allowing the team to quickly form a fighting force to compete for honors. He spent all the transfer funds the club gave him.
No points left can make the team as strong as he can make the team...
This approach is the most typical approach of general head coaches, which is to achieve results as quickly as possible during their term of office without caring about future development - in fact, it cannot be blamed that coaches are so eager for quick success, because the chairman and fans do not care about future development.
He will be given too much time and will not be allowed to win after one or two years. What era are we in now? Once we lose three games, the media will hear that you are about to be fired! How can the head coach be like before?
, spend a year or two to build a mature and sustainable team? Before he can build it, he will probably be dismissed...
Except for a head coach like Ferguson who can sacrifice one or two years to transform the team, few other head coaches have such time.
And if Dick becomes a shareholder of Atletico Madrid and does not have to worry about the risk of dismissal, then he will naturally take a long-term view, and even if his results are mediocre in one or two seasons, he will still have to train a group of top players who can maintain their excellent form for a long time.
Unlike now, apart from buying Vicente as an investment in the future and Capdevila as an investment in his prime, Dick also invested heavily in other signings, from Jardel to Makelele, from Tu.
From Ram to Stam, he pursues the effect of being able to fight, rather than pursuing continuity. Except for the careful training of Torres, he does not pay attention to training any young players - because he is under pressure, he
He knows that only by constantly competing for championships can his position be stabilized. Only when his position is stabilized can he have the capital to train young players and use his time to build the team...
Just like when a person first starts doing business, he will naturally do whatever he can to make money in a timely manner. When the business becomes bigger, it will not be too late to adjust the style.
If he became a shareholder, Dick would naturally be able to do things in a more stylish way instead of being eager for quick success and quick profit.
Old Hill was able to point this out. It seems that he has carefully observed Dick's coaching style over the past year and has begun to become more knowledgeable than before - after all, he has also been involved in the football circle for ten years.
A few years ago, unlike when he first became the chairman of Atletico Madrid, although he introduced Portuguese superstar Futre at a high price, until he signed Futre, he still didn’t know what the Portuguese looked like. He just became
Later, the chairman felt that he wanted to buy a well-known player, and he made the decision after listening to the recommendations of others. This chaotic and unprofessional approach continued for more than ten years, which is why he invested a lot but did not
One of the reasons for getting so many grades.
After returning to his apartment, Dick began to calculate. After Atletico Madrid invested so much transfer funds last season, the entire club's net income for the entire season was 15 million US dollars. This season's net income
The income may be even greater. After all, Dick is confident that the team can advance a little further in the Champions League. Being able to advance a little further means millions of dollars in income. It is conservatively estimated that Atletico Madrid's profit this season can reach
Twenty million U.S. dollars. If it can be maintained in the future, it means that Dick's dividend will be two million U.S. dollars. This is already a very good number. Now there are several head coaches whose annual income can reach that
Two million dollars? This is already a salary that only top first-tier head coaches can get!
And this is just dividends. If Dick's future work contract is still based on the basic salary plus share model, then Dick conservatively estimates that his annual income will be no less than five million US dollars. With dividends, it will be seven million US dollars.
US dollars - enough to make him the highest-paid head coach in the world from a club right now!
By doing this, Old Hill could be considered as investing heavily in him.
"If this is the environment, what reason do I have not to stay at Atletico Madrid? And with Atletico Madrid's foundation and heritage, it is not too difficult to become a giant! With ten years of memory, I am enough to
Atletico Madrid has maintained a very high level for more than ten years! When people mention Madrid football, they will not only think that Real Madrid is the best team, but will think that Atletico Madrid is enough to compete with Real Madrid.
!”
When he thought of this, Dick couldn't help but feel proud.
Defeat all Western coaches... If, as a Chinese, I personally build a first-class team into a top giant, and become the representative of a giant like Ferguson, when people mention Atletico Madrid, they will think of Dick.
Have you almost reached that status?
If you think about it a little more exaggeratedly, maybe a few years later, you can say in an interview: "The greatest achievement in my life is not winning the Triple Crown, but pulling Real Madrid and Barcelona off their fucking thrones at the same time.
Come down!"
Damn, just thinking about it is awesome!
Thinking of this, Dick also started to get excited. You must know that a head coach with Ferguson's status is very rare in the history of European football. Although there have been many top head coaches in the past, they may have won more honors than Ferguson.
There are many more, but as Ferguson has almost become a symbol of a club and has such a profound impact, no one can match it.
Guy Roux has been leading the team longer than Ferguson, but Auxerre is far from being comparable to Ferguson in terms of honor and status. Paisley has three Champions League titles, but his coaching career is far inferior to that of Ferguson.
So long, if Dick can surpass Ferguson in terms of years of coaching and achievements, then Dick's status will be unshakable!
Although Dick did not go out to relax during the winter break because of the discussion about investing in shares, his mood became very good.
After resting at home for more than ten days, when Atletico Madrid began to regroup, Atletico Madrid players noticed that Dick seemed to be much more excited than usual on the training ground...
Listening to Dick shouting something from the sidelines when there was nothing wrong, the Atletico Madrid players began to look around to see if there were cameras from the leader's homeland filming...
"Di, please don't interfere with our training, okay?"
In the end, Marriner couldn't help it any longer, and ran to Dick during a training break and told him dissatisfiedly - Dick's yelling basically had no effect, and his different style from usual was actually very serious.
It has affected the training and preparation of Atletico Madrid players.
Dick smiled coquettishly, and then waved his hand: "Okay, Robert, it's my fault...it won't happen again."
He did not disclose this kind of thing to Marriner. You must know that when he becomes a shareholder, his control over the team will become stronger. At that time, he is ready to raise the salaries of Marriner and other assistant coaches. After all, they have no control over him.
The help is too great. Now it’s because Marina and the others don’t pay their salaries themselves, so even if he wants to give them more subsidies, he can’t do it. But now is not the time to talk about this kind of thing. It doesn’t matter if he does.
use.
After the training, the Atletico Madrid players began to curiously discuss why Dick was acting so abnormally...
"The boss must have found another hot chick, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited." Capdevila said with certainty.
"Tch, when has the boss ever gone to a hotel and not hooked up with a hot girl, would he still be so excited?" Baraja sneered at Capdevila's words.
"Or did he hook up with another movie star?" Capdevila continued, unwilling to fail.
"Impossible, I saw the boss and Miss Canadas wandering the streets of Madrid the day before yesterday. They had no intention of breaking up at all." Torres immediately retorted.
"Haha, Fernando, the boss didn't give you a bill to tell you not to tell anyone?" Belleron couldn't help laughing.
The other players also laughed. They all knew that Dick favored Torres, so they happened to make a joke on him. Torres curled his lips and decided to ignore these guys.
"Speaking of which, the boss is quite affectionate. He actually stayed with Miss Canadas for so long, and the boss likes going to nightclubs so much. Miss Canadas is not angry at all. He is a good person." Vicente endured.
He couldn't help but say something.
"What do children know? The boss and Miss Canadas are not lovers." Jardel said disdainfully.
"Then they hang out together all day long?" Vicente said unconvinced.
"You are still young. When you grow up, you will know if you hook up with a starlet." Jader laughed and said.
Vicente's face turned red. He is the only player in the team who does not have a girlfriend. Even Torres has a childhood sweetheart girlfriend - he met his current girlfriend Olara when he was eight years old.
In this regard, Vicente really has no say.
After discussing for a long time, Atletico Madrid players could not figure out why Dick was so happy. However, for Atletico Madrid, if Dick is in a good mood, they will perform better.
In the first game after the winter break, which was the 19th round of the league, Atletico Madrid welcomed Real Sociedad at home - this Basque team is not doing well right now and is only ranked 18th.
position and are in the relegation zone. Although Sevilla, who is ranked tenth, only has 24 points, which is only six points more than theirs, they are really in danger of being relegated if they are not careful.
The current Real Sociedad is not the Real Sociedad that once almost suppressed Real Madrid to win the league championship. They are still in an extremely difficult situation. Facing such an opponent, Atletico Madrid, which has high morale, will naturally not give them too much.
opportunity, they completely controlled the midfield at home. Although the Real Sociedad midfielder led by Alonso struggled to resist, overall they were not as good as Atletico Madrid. In terms of personal ability, the still young Alonso was not as good as Belleron.
They were so good, but they didn't have a shooter like Jardel, and they were on the road, so naturally they were defeated by Atletico Madrid's fierce attack.
Jardel scored his seventeenth league goal of the season, continuing to lead the scoring charts, and Vicente added the icing on the cake, giving Atletico Madrid a good start after the winter break.
Deportivo lost to Real Madrid. They were ten points behind Atletico Madrid, which also extended Atletico Madrid's lead in second place to eight points!
Eight points ahead of Real Madrid, ten points ahead of Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, Atletico Madrid's advantage has been further expanded!
