On May 19, 2002, bad news came out of the Spanish football world. Atletico Madrid president Hill passed away at the age of 69 after fighting the disease for three days.
Hill's departure is the end of an era for La Liga. For Atletico Madrid fans, they have lost a chairman with the most loyal fighting spirit and the most personality. In the next whole week, countless people
In memory of Hill's great achievements, he made Atletico Madrid rise again. Under his rule, Atletico Madrid won three league championships, a UEFA Cup championship, two King's Cup championships and a Champions League championship. During this period of his rule
, it can be called the most golden period of Atletico Madrid!
After he left, he also left a rich legacy to Atletico Madrid. Everyone firmly believes that although he left, Dick is still there, and the best head coach in Atletico Madrid's history will surely lead Atletico Madrid to continue to create great achievements.
More brilliance!
Although Hill Sr. passed away, according to the will, Hill Jr. obtained all of his property, including 89% of Atletico Madrid's shares. However, the will also stipulated that Hill could only own these shares, not
It can be transferred, and after inheriting all this, Hill also became the new chairman of Atletico Madrid. The so-called post-Hill era does not exist, because the leader of Atletico Madrid is still a member of the Hill family!
Countless Atletico Madrid fans expressed their condolences. On the day when Hill was buried, in addition to his friends who came to the cemetery to watch the ceremony, countless Atletico Madrid fans came to the Calderon Stadium and lit candles and walked around the stadium. Originally,
This practice was historically used by Atletico Madrid fans to express their grief and indignation after Atletico Madrid was relegated. Now it is used to commemorate the old Hill!
Countless flowers were piled at the entrance of the Calderon Stadium, all in memory of the old Hill.
"Maybe he has a lot of controversy, but we can say that he is Atletico Madrid's most loyal fan and fighter. Now he has gone to heaven to meet Chairman Calderon, and they will be in heaven, watching Atletico Madrid
Continue to be brilliant.”
The pastor was also an Atletico Madrid fan. After he said these words, Old Hill's coffin was slowly placed into the cemetery. Countless people scattered the flowers in their hands, and then the soil was shoveled
With one shovel, it quickly covered Old Hill's spiritual hub.
"My condolences." Dick, who was wearing black clothes and sunglasses, whispered to Little Hill. Little Hill looked at Dick with a complicated look, and then nodded slightly.
After the funeral, the turmoil in Spanish football came to an end, and everyone's eyes began to focus on the upcoming World Cup. Although the Champions League final that just passed was very exciting and attracted a lot of attention, it could only be done temporarily.
It just attracts everyone's attention. When the World Cup starts, everyone's attention is still on the World Cup!
Dick did not go to see the World Cup. He knew that there was nothing to watch in this World Cup. At most, the Brazilian national team's final success was considered a success, and the process was really nothing to watch.
And he is not in the mood to watch the World Cup games now. The death of old Hill has a great impact on him. More importantly, until now, little Hill has not mentioned the matter of transferring shares to him. If
If Hill Jr. does not transfer his shares to him and only lets him be a head coach, then he will definitely not do it, because Hill Jr. is not the old Hill. If he is still just a head coach, based on his treatment of Hill
Due to his familiarity, he knew that this guy would definitely find a way to take away his power, which he couldn't stand.
Just after he stayed at home for a week, someone came to the door.
"Mr. Cerezo, I didn't expect you to come to my house!"
Dick opened the door in surprise and let Cerezo in - this was really surprising, because he basically had no interaction with Cerezo before. Why did Cerezo come to him now?
"Mr. Dick, I didn't expect you are still living in an apartment. I originally thought you would buy a house in Madrid." Cerezo sat down and then looked around the furnishings in the room.
"I wasn't sure before, so I didn't buy it." Dick shrugged and brought Cerezo a cup of coffee.
"This is a wise choice." Cerezo laughed: "Because I would not invest in an uncertain choice."
Dick looked at him but said nothing. He knew that Cerezo had a purpose in coming here at this time.
Seeing that Dick was silent, Cerezo smiled slightly, and then said: "Mr. Dick, I don't know if you know... Miguel doesn't plan to sell his shares to you."
Dick raised his head in surprise, and then asked: "I didn't expect that even you knew about this."
"Not only do I know, but Abasolo also knows. When we were watching a game, Old Hill... let it slip." Cerezo laughed.
"In this case, it's not wise for Xiao Hill to do this." Dick smiled slightly.
"Smart people wouldn't do such things, but Hill can't say that." Cerezo said with a smile: "He doesn't want to have a head coach who is in the limelight."
"I believe that old Mr. Hill's last wish will still play a big role." Dick didn't want to get involved with Cerezo anymore.
Cerezo stood up with a smile: "I just came to inform you... I have to leave now, I have other things to do."
Speaking without sincerity, Cerezo left quickly. He came here just to inform Dick of such things. He knew that he didn't need to do too much. This was enough. Cerezo believed that,
As long as Hill is stupid enough to exclude Dick, his natural ally, from being a shareholder, it will not be very difficult for him to control Atletico Madrid.
"Miguel, you are so stupid... I finally understand, you just don't want a head coach who won't be in the limelight. A head coach like me is not suitable... In this case, I can only choose to leave.
But if I leave, you won't have an easy time." Dick gritted his teeth and laughed.
**********************************************
"Di, I'm so glad to see you."
Little Hill came around from behind the desk, and then shook hands with Dick enthusiastically. Dick looked at him coldly, and then glanced at the desk - this desk was originally Old Hill's desk, ancient and
The mottled desktop has now been replaced by a modern, brand-new office with computers on it.
Dick sneered in his heart. It had only been a few days, and there were fewer and fewer traces of old Hill in the club...
Asking Dick to sit down at his desk, Little Hill looked at Dick with a reserved smile, and his heart was filled with a happy feeling. Over the past week or so, he has reintegrated the club, and now he is the chairman and president of the club.
The largest shareholder and general manager can be said to have great power. In his view, Dick, the head coach, is now completely under his control.
"Di, now we have to start preparing for the new season. What kind of players do you want to add? I will buy them."
Little Hill said with great enthusiasm, but Dick's face turned ugly - what are these words? What players do you want to buy? This is reducing my power! You must know that all the previous transfers were made by Dick.
The implication of Xiao Hill's words is too naked. It means that from now on you can lead the team to play games, and I will buy the players and so on...
Now that we have taken back the power to buy players, do we need to add candidates to the coaching staff next? Then do we need to sell some of Dick's direct descendants and buy a few other players?
If Dick could tolerate such things, then he would no longer be Dick.
Originally, Dick wanted to slam the table and leave immediately, but remembering the old Hill's instructions, he still suppressed his temper and looked at the young Hill and said word by word: "I can waive the transfer fee this season...
…But whoever buys it has to be my decision!”
"Sorry, this kind of job is the responsibility of the technical director." Xiao Hill said with a smile: "You know, it was because of some special reasons before, so the club provided funds for you to transfer. But now Atletico Madrid needs to regulate it
Some of the club's rules can no longer be as messy as before. We need to become more standardized and more professional. This is what Atletico Madrid lacked in the past. To make Atletico Madrid stronger, we must do this.
Change. Dick, don’t worry, this is not against you, it’s just reform, necessary reform.”
Looking at Little Hill with a victorious smile on his face, Dick shook his head, and then suddenly laughed: "Miguel, do you really think I would be stupid enough to believe such a thing?"
"Call me Mr. Chairman!" Little Hill said to Dick with a straight face and a raised voice.
Dick sighed, and then said: "Mr. Chairman..."
Little Hill showed a victorious smile on his face, but the smile quickly solidified on his face, because Dick looked up at the ceiling and said: "Mr. Chairman, you are right, Miguel is indeed not
A decent manager!"
When Little Hill's face changed color, Dick had already stood up, put his hands on the desk, and looked at Little Hill condescendingly: "I'm sorry, in my heart, Mr. Chairman, there is only one person, and that is your father.
...Now it seems that I can no longer work at Atletico Madrid, so I resign. I'm sorry, Mr. Hill, I can't work with you in the future."
"Don't forget that you still have a contract with us..." Little Hill looked at Dick angrily: "If Atletico Madrid doesn't terminate your contract, you won't be able to go anywhere!"
"There is only one year left on the contract, and I can still afford the termination fee." Dick smiled coldly: "It seems that my basic salary is only one million US dollars, right? I don't need to compensate for those bonuses...
...It's just a million dollars, I can afford it, just think I've been unlucky in the casino for a week...But Mr. Miguel, how are you going to explain to all the fans why you let a guy who just took it
Champions League winning manager leaving?"
Hill looked sternly: "Of course I have my own methods, Dick. If you want to stay, I can pretend that what just happened never happened. I don't want you to leave, but there is no coach in La Liga who has you now."
With such power, for the future of Atletico Madrid, I hope you can honestly be a head coach."
Dick burst out laughing until Little Hill's face changed color, and then he gave Little Hill a middle finger: "Fuck you, I'm not going to do it now, I hope everything is fine with you."
