"Are you really going?" Marina's wife looked suspiciously at her husband, who rarely went out.
"I really want to go." Marriner said to his wife with a firm look on his face: "I'm just an assistant coach with no future...but I think I might be able to do something by following Dick."
"Are you willing to leave Atletico Madrid?" His wife was even more suspicious - you must know that Marriner had no chance to coach other teams before, but he resolutely chose to return to Atletico Madrid as an assistant coach, even if he was sent to
There were no complaints when he was in the second team - his current salary at Atletico Madrid is 200,000 yuan a year. This is the salary increase Dick asked the club to give him after he established himself. Before, he only only had 100,000 yuan a year. If
If he were to coach other clubs, even in the Spanish second division club, it would be easy to get 300,000 yuan a year, but Marriner gave up more salary to become an assistant coach at Atletico Madrid. If it were not for his love for Atletico Madrid,
He won't do that.
"It's not a matter of willingness or unwillingness... I have gained a lot in Atletico Madrid. Now I don't owe Atletico Madrid anything. Instead, I owe Dick... I shouldn't doubt him. No matter which club he goes to now, he needs it."
An assistant, I am willing to be his assistant." Marina said with a smile.
"Then... just go, I support you." The wife laughed: "In the worst case, I will go with you... It may be troublesome for the child to transfer to another school, but it won't be a big problem... Also, you can make money
Is it enough money for us to live on?”
Looking at his wife's smiling face, Marina suddenly felt younger: "No problem! Trust me! Besides, I still have a lot of savings over the years!"
While Marina and his wife were saying goodbye, Dick received a call from Torres.
Torres did not go to the World Cup. After all, he was still very young and there were many good forwards in the national team. On the phone, he pitifully said to Dick: "Boss, what will I do if you leave?"
Dick shook his head. He left Atletico Madrid. The person he felt most sorry for was Torres. After all, Torres had been with him for two years, but he had not yet been able to become the main force. Now that he is gone, the plan to train Torres may also be aborted...
"Fernando... what should I say to you? I really want to take you away, but I don't know what club I will coach next season. And are you willing to leave Atletico Madrid? Are you willing to give up your dream?
? I know what you want is to become the banner of Atletico Madrid, stay with Atletico Madrid for life, and become the greatest player in Atletico Madrid history! I originally wanted to train you to be such a player in the future, but now... I can only
It’s all up to your own efforts.”
Torres burst into tears on the other end of the phone: "Boss, I can't bear to leave Atletico Madrid, but I can't bear to leave you either! I know you've always been good to me, and you just let me play as a substitute to make me more mature! I think
I can now become the main force and serve you, but you left! What should I do, boss!"
"Fernando!" Dick raised his voice. He felt uncomfortable listening to Torres cry: "Don't forget, we are all still young! I can still work as a coach for at least forty years! What about you? At least you can still play football.
Twenty years of football! Don’t think about other things, work hard! You will definitely be Atletico Madrid’s number one striker next! Jardel has already got what he wants, he won’t have much motivation, even though Cruz has excellent abilities
, but after all, he can only exert his full strength when he is on the bench. The most trustworthy forward of Atletico Madrid is you! Aragones is an excellent head coach. He also knows how to train newcomers. He will
What makes you great, understand? Play well and compete well! Maybe in a few years, we will meet again one day!"
After Dick said these harsh words, Torres finally calmed down and said with sobs: "I understand, boss, I'm waiting for the day when I can play football under you again..."
"Then you have to work hard. If you are not a top star in a few years, you will not be qualified to play under me!" Dick laughed.
"I will definitely become the top striker!" Torres said to Dick like he was swearing.
Putting down the phone, Dick shook his head, and then began to think about his own affairs. At this moment, the doorbell of his apartment rang...
"Damn, I can't even think about getting clean."
Dick muttered a few words, then ran to open the door, and then saw Marina standing in front of him, with a bag at his feet.
"Robert, what are you..." Dick asked with some confusion.
"I'm here to join you, boss." Marriner said with a smile: "I think I will become your assistant coach next. I will follow you to whatever club you go to, but you should pay my salary."
.”
Dick laughed loudly: "No problem! I am a generous boss. I remember your current salary at Atletico Madrid is two hundred thousand dollars, right? I will double it for you, four hundred thousand! If my income increases in the future,
I will naturally increase your wages!"
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Marina smiled similarly, and then extended her hand to Dick: "Boss, please take care of me in the future."
"Come on, come on, since you're here, help me check the details." Dick pulled Marina in.
"Asking me to do things without even paying me a salary? Okay, tell me, what are we going to discuss?" Marina sat down on the sofa unceremoniously.
"It's nothing, I just want to discuss with you which club might be my next home... I'm a restless person, and I don't want to take a year off before taking up another job." Dick said with a smile.
"You really haven't found your next home?" Marina's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course I haven't found one. Do you think it's easy to find a new home in my current situation?" Dick said angrily: "Don't worry, no matter whether I have a job or not, I will always pay your salary."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Marriner shook his head dejectedly: "But think about it, in your current situation, it's really hard to find a suitable team... It's probably worse than Atletico Madrid. You don't like it.
It’s a wealthy club that’s better than Atletico Madrid, and the position of the head coach is basically very stable, so it’s really hard to find one.”
"The biggest problem is that I don't have enough foundation. Although I have done very well in the past two years, Mr. Chairman has given me so much power. Others may not give me such power. Without such power,
, or what kind of performance I can do when recruitment is not enough, the presidents of the wealthy clubs are probably hesitant, plus my temper... not every wealthy club can tolerate it." Dick laughed.
He replied.
Seeing Dick's unhurried look, Marriner frowned: "I'm counting, I remember you said you wouldn't coach in La Liga, right? That would be better, and I don't want to meet Atletico Madrid in the league.
, that makes people feel uncomfortable.”
"It's like this. I can be sure of this. I will not coach a La Liga club. Even if I have no work for a year, I will not coach a La Liga club." Dick is very confident. Even if he has no work for a year, he will probably coach next year.
Many head coaches are laid off, and he won't have to worry about finding his position when the time comes.
"It's probably not going to work in Serie A. With the failure of several Spanish players in Serie A, they don't trust coaches from abroad. Moreover, Serie A's head coaches have always been top-notch. At the same time, among several giants, Juventus has
Pi, AC Milan just signed Ancelotti, Cooper did a good job at Inter Milan last season, Roma has Capello, Lazio just signed Mancini... Fiorentina has also been relegated, and other clubs,
I probably can’t afford to hire you,” Marina continued.
"Go on." Dick laughed.
"The Premier League is pretty good, but several strong teams also have their own head coaches. Don't even think about Manchester United and Arsenal. Chelsea are doing a great job with Ranieri now, and they seem to have financial problems now. Liverpool probably hate you to death.
Now, there is no danger of Houllier being fired, so he can’t go to a team like Tottenham or Everton.”
"What else?" Dick continued to smile. He knew what situation he was facing now. The road to La Liga was blocked by him. You must know that he had nowhere to go in La Liga. Irueta warmly invited him to coach.
Deportivo, he was willing to step down and make way for someone better, but Dick simply refused. He didn't want to stay in La Liga any longer, not only because of his feelings for Atletico Madrid, but also because of deeper reasons.
There are no better teams in the Premier League and Serie A for him. Inter Milan really contacted him last summer. However, this past season, Cooper almost won the league championship for Inter Milan, but fell in the last minute.
After seeing the hope, Moratti will not be willing to bother anymore. In the past two years, he has also tended to become more rational. Now it seems that he really has no good place to go...
"I'm not going to lose my job," Marina lamented.
Dick smiled: "Don't worry...it's not like there are only three major leagues to go to. You must know that Europe's traditional five major leagues, whether it is the Bundesliga or Ligue 1, are also good choices...I have risen too fast, I can't
Few people think that I rely on Atletico Madrid's financial resources and luck to achieve such outstanding results. I can completely prove that I can achieve outstanding results through other methods. In addition to spending money to buy people, I can also do well.
The management club!”
Looking at the confident Dick, Marina asked suspiciously: "You...don't already have a new wife, right?"
"Really not." Dick still smiled and said: "What do I have to hide from you? If there is anything, I can just tell you... But it is true that no club is looking for me now, and I am not in a hurry.
I don’t mind going to the Bundesliga or Ligue 1 to coach for two years to accumulate more things. The environment there is simpler, and it also allows me to be more careful and perfect. The pace of the past two years at Atletico Madrid has been too fast, and I
I just want to get good results quickly, and I don’t have much to show for my abilities in other areas... In fact, I am also a head coach who is very good at using the resources at hand to achieve maximum results! Now, what I want to show is this ability!
"
"You...really have such an ability?" Marina continued to look at Dick suspiciously.
"Of course, I am an all-around head coach! There is nothing I can't solve! Now I wish that a club with financial difficulties would ask me to coach, and then I will show you what the Midas touch is!
"Dick said confidently.
"I don't quite believe it." Marina shook his head with a straight face: "Mr. Chairman has given you a lot of support in the past few years."
"Damn, you don't believe your boss, I'll fire you!" Dick yelled.
"Come if you can! I haven't signed a contract with you yet!" Marina shouted even louder...
