After winning three consecutive victories, Dick's coaching career was on track - these three consecutive victories consumed 40% of his bank cards. However, what surprised Dick was that these three games
In the game, except for a survey card after the first victory, he received nothing after the second game. However, after defeating Albacete and winning three consecutive victories, he did get a card that made him feel a little bit.
Weird card.
Wealth Card, primary level, can increase your wealth by US$100,000.
"Damn it, you won't let me be convicted of a crime of unknown origin of a huge amount of property." Dick looked at the card and thought to himself.
Europe is not China. Everyone's income needs to be through legal channels, at least for most people - Dick is completely broke now, and all his wealth comes from the thousands of dollars that Hill advanced to him.
With a US$1 salary, he has a car and a house, but the car is a second-hand Mercedes-Benz and the house is a small apartment, all provided by the club!
If he really had an extra $100,000 on hand, he really couldn't tell where the money came from.
Dick originally wanted to ignore it, or wait until he figured out how to use this card before using it, but the prompt under the card told him that this kind of card needs to be used within a week - it has an expiration date.
"It turns out there is still a use period...forget it, just use it."
With a big sigh, Dick raised his hand and used this card, and then...he didn't even have a stack of money in front of him...
"Where's the one hundred thousand dollars? Where did it go?" Dick shouted to the sky, then shook his head, ready to wait for Pedro to teach him Spanish - this was his daily routine task.
After today's teaching ended, Pedro suddenly said: "I bought a few year-end lottery tickets today, hoping to win."
"Year-end lottery? What is this?" Dick was moved and then asked.
"It's the Big Fat Man Lottery." Pedro said with a smile, and then explained a few words to Dick. The Big Fat Man Lottery, year-end lottery, and Christmas lottery all mean the same thing in Spain. This is the oldest lottery in Spain.
, which has been issued since 1812, is also one of the largest annual lottery events in the world. The results are announced on December 22, every year before Christmas. This year’s lottery pool is as high as one billion U.S. dollars. This is what the Spaniards can buy.
The largest number of lottery tickets, with an average Spaniard buying three such lottery tickets every year...
"How much is the jackpot?" Dick asked with a smile.
"It's about 100,000 U.S. dollars after tax... The second prize is also 20,000 U.S. dollars, and this lottery has a very high winning rate, with a 70% return." Pedro replied.
Dick's expression started to look weird - could it be through this method? Then he really has to buy this lottery ticket...
"Where can I buy one? I'm going to buy one. I think I'm very lucky this year. I found a job and my performance in leading the team is also good..." Dick said to Pedro.
"They are everywhere, there is a betting point outside the Atletico Madrid youth training camp." Pedro replied.
Then Dick bought... one and then left it at home. The number was quite special, 99101. This was the day after he traveled to Spain.
Dick was very happy in the following days. From October to November, Atletico Madrid's second team was completely on the right track. In a total of nine league rounds, Atletico Madrid's second team achieved seven wins and two draws.
Including defeating Getafe at home, defeating Villarreal 2-1 away from home, and drawing with Levante at home in a big-scoring game - these are all strong teams that have performed well in La Liga.
!
After achieving such outstanding results, the ranking of Atletico Madrid's second team has naturally risen. Now they have rushed to the eighth position, and are only five points away from third-ranked Villarreal - if it were not for them
If it is impossible to upgrade, their performance may have caused panic among many teams.
During this period, Torres' performance was still eye-catching. He scored 11 goals in nine rounds of the league, including six goals in the first three games alone. Everyone was against Atletico Madrid's second team.
His performance was so impressive that even the most demanding media had to admit that it was the 21-year-old young head coach, Dick, who brought changes to the Atletico Madrid second team.
Dick has appeared in the media more and more now. The heated bet before has made many people have an impression of this young head coach. In the past month or so, he has appeared in newspapers.
Dick always accompanied Atletico Madrid's second team in their victories.
"Guys, there are only three league rounds left, and we are about to welcome Christmas."
Pedro's teaching is very good. Now Dick can speak Spanish proficiently with the players. Of course, it is still a little difficult to write completely. Dick doesn't care about writing, he just speaks with his mouth.
"We are now ranked eighth, only three points behind Getafe, who is ranked sixth. I think if we can be among the top six before Christmas, we will definitely be able to have a very happy Christmas."
Except for the first three rounds of the league, he didn't even use a goal card in the following league, but he still achieved quite good results. This made Dick more confident in himself, and as he continued to lead the ball
The team won, and within the team, they became more and more convinced of the young head coach.
Now that Dick spoke, all the players immediately shouted loudly: "No problem! Let us beat them!"
Dick looked at the players and smiled. This was his first game in football. Now he is doing well. After these few games, he also got a few messy cards. For example, one was a fan card. After using it,
It can make two of your competitors fight to death and benefit yourself at the same time. There is also an injury card. After using it, you can randomly injure a player in the opponent's main lineup. The last one is a weather card, which can
Let the weather in the game be more favorable to his side - Seeing that the use period of these cards is before the end of the season, Dick put all the cards on the shelf without using them, but wanted to get them with his true skills.
Some good results.
Dick now also wants to understand that although these cards can be used as a killer, after all, you cannot always rely on these things to make a living. In the final analysis, you still have to make yourself a better head coach, one who can lead the team to win.
Coach, this kind of card can be the icing on the cake. It just so happens that I am leading the second team to play in the second division, and my position is stable. There is no need to use too many of these things. Now is a good opportunity to strengthen my ability to lead the team.
.
How to strengthen? In addition to studying, it is to gain experience in leading a team to play games. When a head coach, you can never talk about it on paper. After leading a team to play more games and facing more various situations, experience will naturally come!
With such a good opportunity, naturally you cannot rely too much on those magical cards. Just like in martial arts novels, foreign objects are often used to increase one's abilities, and it is never as beautiful as a step-by-step approach.
After leading the team in these few games, Dick also began to clearly realize his strengths and weaknesses. The advantage is that he has seen more novel tactics and changes than the current head coaches, especially for future football theories.
We have a clear understanding of development, and our disadvantages lie in experience and specific operational abilities. If we want to make ourselves better, we must make up for it in this aspect.
So during this period of time, Dick's spare time was basically spent on enriching himself, observing various game videos, and secretly observing how Marriner led the team in training-even if he didn't want to lead the team in training, he still needed to
It is not contradictory to learn to observe the status and characteristics of players during training to make more appropriate arrangements.
In the next three games, Dick led the team with good results. First they went to the island where Tenerife is located, and then tied with their opponents. Then they returned to home and relied on the goals of Torres and center back captain Gaspar.
They defeated Sporting Gijon, who were ranked higher than them, 2-1 at home, and then on December 19, the last round of the league before the winter break, they defeated Huelva 3-1 away from home and won ten games.
Ranked sixth in the second division with five draws and four losses!
"You did a great job...Dick, from 21st to 6th, the magnitude of the leap is really amazing!"
After playing the last game before the winter break, Dick was summoned by Chairman Hill. His internship contract at the time was for three months and was about to expire on January 9th. At that time, the winter break
The deadline had just passed, and Hill asked him to come at this time, naturally for his contract.
Leading the team for two months and ten days, played twelve games, nine wins and three draws - this kind of results can be regarded as top-notch results for anyone, not to mention Dick is a standard rookie, in this
You don’t even have any experience coaching a youth team before, so how can you not be surprised?
"Boss, I said it wouldn't be a mistake for you to choose me."
Dick continued to maintain a high-profile attitude, and Old Hill also appreciated this: "Yes, it seems that I really made a right choice at that time... You have passed the internship period, tell me, what do you want?"
What conditions?"
"A two-year contract, the salary should be higher... One million pesetas is too little, it is enough for me to live on. Robert and the others get more than me." Dick first made his request for money.
"No problem. The monthly salary of 1.5 million pesetas is paid every month, which is almost 100,000 US dollars a year. In Spain, few second-team coaches earn this amount." Old Hill
Said with a pleasant smile.
"Profiteers, profiteers, there really aren't many coaches with this figure for the second team, but now in the whole of Spain, there is only one Atletico Madrid second team playing in the second division..."
Dick cursed in his heart, but there was not much he could do. Indeed, based on his resume, it was already a very good figure to get, even if he suffered a little loss.
"That's no problem... Besides, I want to move to a better place. The apartment I live in now is too small, and I don't have enough space to store information." Dick continued to make conditions.
"You can choose any apartment near the youth training camp, and the club will pay for it." Old Hill also knew that the salary given to Dick was very low, so he was still very generous in this regard: "Is there any more?"
"Well, it seems that there is none... By the way, I also need a computer, a TV, and a VCR. At the same time, I need the Internet to browse news. These are all needed 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 that the network is a little troublesome. After all, the network has not been widely popularized yet, but in a big city like Madrid, it is necessary to
Finding an apartment with internet is not too difficult.
"Then thank you boss... I will make Atletico Madrid's second team perform better in the second half of the season!" Dick stood up with satisfaction, then patted his chest and said.
