When Dick received a notice from the club telling him that the chairman wanted to see him, Dick knew that the time he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Dick didn't know the history of Atletico Madrid's personnel changes this season. He only remembered that Atletico Madrid was relegated this season - Atletico Madrid's relegation was a big deal at the time, but he didn't know how the head coach was changed, so he didn't know how the head coach was changed.
When Nieri was out of class, he thought it was his chance, but the club asked Antici to put out the fire...
Fortunately, Antici's performance under his leadership was extremely poor. He failed to win a single game in six league rounds, and Atletico Madrid also fell all the way to the relegation zone. In more than a month, Antici became a coach with a very short tenure - this
At that time, Hill asked him to go, probably because he wanted to fire Antici and let himself lead the team. At this time, he didn't know that Antici had resigned.
"The work I have done in Atletico Madrid's second team these past few months has not been in vain."
As he drove to the Atletico Madrid club, Dick was thinking to himself.
In fact, he doesn't care about the results of Atletico Madrid's second team. After all, no matter how good the results of Atletico Madrid's second team are, they can't be promoted. He can completely regard the process of leading the team as an accumulation of experience. However, during this period, he has been very
In addition to accumulating experience in leading the team, he also worked hard to win more games and make the results of Atletico Madrid's second team better, just to form a sharp contrast with the results of Atletico Madrid's first team. That's right.
, La Liga is indeed more difficult to mix than La Liga, but the strength of Atletico Madrid’s second team is far from comparable to Atletico Madrid’s first team! If the players of the second team are that strong, then they will be the first team and not the first team.
The second team...
The second team, which is obviously inferior in strength, can achieve such outstanding results. What is the reason if it is not the outstanding ability of the coach? It is said that Barcelona also has some regrets now, seeing the results of Dick's leadership in Atletico Madrid's second team.
So outstanding, they began to feel that this guy was not talking nonsense when he said he didn't know how to train and would only lead the team to victory...
However, as Cruyff, he would naturally not admit that he had made a mistake on Dick. In fact, it was normal for him to make a mistake. A head coach, even the head coach of a youth team, would not admit that he had made a mistake.
What's the use of leading the team in training? After all, the biggest task of La Masia Football School is to train top players to be used by the first team. A head coach who can't train is of no use to them, and leading the first team
Team... Are you kidding me? If a giant club like Barcelona wants a head coach, why can't they find a famous coach?
So Barcelona has been keeping silent now. They just want to win the championship and make Dick a big fool. Since they have offended such a coach, they might as well beat him until he can't stand up.
Dick knew this idea very well, but no matter how strong Barcelona was, they couldn't change their destiny.
"In today's world, besides me, who else can change fate and bring a team that is destined to be relegated back to life?" Dick thought in his mind with great enthusiasm.
His confidence is justified. He has only used four goal cards, and there are six more that are useless in his pocket. There are also a lot of messy cards. If they are combined and used, they can also play a role.
There are quite a few effects.
Isn’t it just six games? Isn’t it just a seven-point difference? As long as I’m in office, I can beat all those bastards to the ground!
In the past six months, in addition to his own job, he has been constantly collecting information about the first team. Even if Ranieri didn't use him after get out of class, he was not discouraged. Now it's time for this preparation to bear fruit!
Along the way, Dick was thinking about how to express his confidence. At this moment, driver Garcia had already sent him to the gate.
After saying hello to Garcia, Dick walked into the door of Atletico Madrid Club with his head held high.
This time he came to jump over the dragon gate - because of an unexpected opportunity, he became the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team. However, there is still a huge gap between the head coach of the second team and the head coach of the top league team.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least several years to go from youth team head coach to first team head coach - as you can see from Mourinho, he comes from a well-known family, and his starting point is very low from the beginning.
Gao, however, he also worked as an assistant to Robson and Van Gaal successively, and studied for five or six years before returning to China. And if he was not from a football family, he probably would not be able to coach a Portuguese Serie A team as soon as he returned to China——
The gap between assistant coaches or youth coaches and first-team coaches in top leagues is evident.
Generally speaking, the football circle is not something that outsiders can easily squeeze into. Of all the coaches, large and small, few outsiders can easily gain a foothold in the world. Anyone who can become a professional coach is basically either a star player who has retired or has retired.
The level of playing football is not high, and he is also a professional player. He has a deeper understanding of football only after being exposed to it since he was young. Dick's ability to become the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team is also a miracle based on Hill's characteristics, and this time
Being able to put out the fire of Atletico Madrid's first team is a God-given opportunity!
No other club would have had such a good opportunity. A club like Atletico Madrid has a reputation as a strong team, but now it is extremely depressed. No one dares to take over this mess, and Hill is someone who likes to change head coaches.
Chairman, this gives Dick a chance.
For Dick, this opportunity must be seized.
When Dick knocked on the door of the chairman's office, the Hill and his sons were already waiting in the office.
Looking at the father and son who had the most power in Atletico Madrid, Dick seemed very relaxed and sat down directly opposite them.
Little Hill remained silent, while Old Hill spoke.
"Di, just now, Antiqi submitted his resignation to me."
Dick was stunned - this was not because he was pretending, but because he thought Hill wanted to test him before deciding whether to let him be the head coach - but it turned out that Antici had already resigned, and it seemed that he had agreed to Antic's decision.
Teach’s resignation…
"Damn, this is the time to raise the price." Dick thought to himself.
Seeing Dick's expression, Old Hill nodded: "Di, I called you here this time because I want to ask, if you take over Atletico Madrid's first team now... what are the chances of successfully avoiding relegation?"
Hearing this, Dick lowered his head. On the surface he looked calculating, but in his heart he was happy - after all, he still has to rely on me...
Of course it's time to fight for power at this time - Dick knows that as an airborne soldier, the big guys in the first team are naturally not comparable to the young guys in the second team. If he doesn't have enough power to maintain his own
If you have prestige, do you want to gain a foothold in the first team? Don't be ridiculous.
As for the game itself, Dick didn't think there was much to worry about. Although the opponents had several strong teams, those strong teams such as Valencia and Barcelona were distracted by the Champions League. The difference between Atletico Madrid and Atletico Madrid was not in terms of strength.
It's morale and luck.
Want power, the power to control all things - even if it is urgent, get the power into your hands first, for example, let the management not interfere with his power, and let him take charge of all the team's affairs - this kind of demand changes
Generally speaking, it is unlikely to be satisfied. You must know that in Spanish clubs, the power of the management is very large and often extremely complicated. There are countless people who can manage the coach. The head coach wants to gain too much power, and
impossible.
But at this time, if he is in a hurry and seeks medical treatment, it is estimated that Hill will satisfy Dick no matter what the request is - a La Liga club has been relegated, and the losses caused are quite large, especially for a strong team like Atletico Madrid.
That's true.
Seeing Dick lowering his head and thinking, Little Hill became a little impatient. When he was about to say something, Old Hill raised his hand to stop him. Now Old Hill still likes Dick.
, I feel that he is thinking with his head down because he attaches great importance to this matter. If he opens his mouth and says "100% chance of relegation success", Old Hill will not believe this kind of satellite.
After thinking for a long time, Dick raised his head and said: "Now we are seven points away from the relegation zone. There are still six rounds left in the league. Our opponents include the top four teams such as Valencia and Barcelona, as well as Atletico Madrid.
Mid-range teams like Loca, Malaga, Real Oviedo, and even teams like Sevilla that have been relegated early. It is very difficult to avoid relegation."
"Everyone knows this!" Xiao Hill said dissatisfied.
Old Hill shook his head: "Yes, everyone knows this... Do you think we have no way to avoid relegation?"
"It's not completely impossible... If I serve as this head coach, I need the club to give me more support. At least at this time, I need to have the power to ban any player who does not obey my instructions. Because I am young, before
Without a resume, there will be no prestige. Without the support of the club, I cannot command the players of the club."
"I can give you this power." Old Hill said calmly. He was originally a strong chairman who would kill coaches and players at every turn, so the players were more afraid of him. This also caused Atletico Madrid's combat effectiveness to often be incompetent.
Very good performance - how can you work hard on the court if you are not convinced by the chairman?
"Secondly, I need to give the players a little stimulation." Dick continued: "The current situation is that even if Atletico Madrid is relegated, it will not have much impact on most players. They can transfer at a cheaper price.
If you go to other clubs, relegation will not have a big impact on them. At this time, the club needs to show courage. Anyone who is bound by a contract will not let him go even if he suffers financial losses if the club is relegated!
Of course, if they can do their best in the game, even if they are relegated, the club will not force them to stay - in the final analysis, it is to make them obedient and play according to my arrangements."
"This approach will make our reputation among players worse!" Hill objected.
"It's relegated, it doesn't matter if it's not bad. If it's not relegated, we can buy another batch of players. Atletico Madrid's performance in the past two years has been poor, and it's time for a new team." Dick said calmly.
Old Hill slapped the table hard: "Yes, just do it!"
The old guy gritted his teeth, with a ferocious look on his face - "If any bastard disobeys you at this time, even if he is not financially healthy, I will let him stay in the second division for a year! Let me see who dares to disobey you.
!”
"In addition to this, there is financial encouragement. If you succeed in relegation, you will receive an additional bonus - even if it is several million US dollars, it will be smaller than the loss of relegation." Dick continued.
"Compared with relegation, bonuses are nothing." Old Hill nodded again.
"Finally, I also ask for a bonus." Dick finally came up with the idea: "If the relegation is successful, I ask for a bonus of one million US dollars - as you know, I am very poor now, but I need to rely on my ability to earn
