"Why do you agree to all this bastard's demands, father!"
After Dick left the chairman's office with the contract in hand, Xiao Hill finally couldn't help but roared at his father: "Forget the previous requirements, the last one... is simply a fraud!"
Old Hill looked at his excited son and shook his head.
"Without the previous requirements, I would not have agreed to his last request." Old Hill lit up a cigar: "The power to control the team, warn the players, motivate the players... This kid
His skills are very good, and it seems that he is really sure to lead the team to successfully avoid relegation. If he can successfully avoid relegation, what is this million dollar bonus? Compared with the loss of relegation, this is not even one-tenth.
If he can't be relegated, he won't even get a penny, and we won't lose too much."
Having said this, Old Hill took a deep puff of his cigar, and then blew out a smoke ring: "Son, I know you hate Dick... but as a businessman, you must be clear about one thing, that is, a successful businessman
, you will not let your emotions influence your judgment. Even if the transaction partner is your life and death enemy, as long as the transaction has enough profit, you must continue the transaction with him."
Little Hill said unwillingly: "Father, do you think he can really succeed?"
"Who can we trust at this time? Are there any other candidates?"
Hearing this, Hill Jr. couldn't help but sigh - who would have known that the Spanish double champions in the 1995-96 season would actually be in such a state three years later!
After walking out of Old Hill's office, Dick did not get carried away - yes, he now has power and a contract worth one million US dollars. However, if he cannot lead Atletico Madrid's second team to successfully avoid relegation, then these
Everything will become a passing cloud, leaving no trace behind.
He has only been given a stage now, but whether the play can be performed to full applause depends on his true ability.
Today is April 9th. Atletico Madrid just suffered a 1-4 away defeat to Deportivo La Coruna yesterday. The players have a day off today. Antic submitted his resignation and Dick took office.
"Tomorrow is the official day to go to the training ground to take office. Today... I still need to arrange some work."
Dick was thinking on the way back to the youth training camp. In the previous discussion, the work of the second team was also arranged. Originally, Hill was planning to let Marriner temporarily lead the team, but Dick refused.
, because he wants to bring an assistant to the first team, and Marriner is the best candidate - and the scouts.
So in the end, the second team will transfer a coach from the youth team to lead it. Anyway, there are only a few rounds left in the league. Atletico Madrid's second team cannot be promoted, nor can it be downgraded. There is no need to temporarily find a formal coach.
coach.
"Valentin, I guess you will have to change the route you take me to every day." Dick smiled and said to the driver Garcia before getting off the car.
Garcia had always been silent, but at this time the bearded man smiled at Dick: "Mr. Dick, I am very happy to be able to do this... Maybe you are the only one who can save Atletico Madrid now.
"
Dick was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and patted Garcia on the shoulder.
"Valentin, don't worry, Atletico Madrid will definitely be able to successfully avoid relegation this season."
After saying these words, Dick strode into the youth training camp.
"Robert, come here."
After walking to the side of the training ground, Dick waved directly to Marriner and asked him to come over.
Marriner nodded, let the players train on their own, and then walked over to Dick. The players had long been accustomed to the fact that the head coach would not often appear on the sidelines of the training field, so they didn't care.
"Robert, I have something to tell you." Dick said to Marriner bluntly.
Marriner was silent for a moment, then raised his head: "Are you going to the first team to put out fires?"
Dick was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood that the current situation of Atletico Madrid can be said to be known personally. When Antić took office, almost everyone thought that this coach saved Atletico Madrid last season.
will succeed in putting out the fire again, but the current situation of two draws and one loss in the six league rounds has made everyone come out of their fantasies - Atletico Madrid is no longer the Atletico Madrid of last season. Antić can create a miracle once, but cannot create a second one.
Second-rate.
If Antic is dismissed, who else can take over? The answer is almost obvious. Apart from Dick, who has performed well recently and led Atletico Madrid's second team to the first place in La Liga, who else can be there? Who else can Dick?
The performance in the past few months has been so eye-catching!
The most important thing is that even if Atletico Madrid wants to find a famous head coach to put out the fire, they can't find one. There are almost no famous coaches who are unemployed. Ordinary head coaches will not want to take over this mess. They can only do it from within.
To tap the potential, Dick, the head coach of the second team, happens to be the first overall pick.
In other words, because Xiao Hill didn't like Dick, he directly ignored this possibility in his heart.
Then Dick nodded calmly: "Yes, Mr. Antic has submitted his resignation, and Mr. Chairman has agreed... He hopes that I can take over the first team, and I have agreed."
Marriner lowered his head, then said, "What about me? Taking over your position?"
"No, you will go to the first team with me and become my assistant." Dick said bluntly: "I don't know anyone in the first team. I need a good assistant to take care of everything for me. Robert, this
We have cooperated well over the past few months. Tomorrow I will go to the first team to take up my post. I hope that tomorrow night I will be able to get Malaga's recent status and various information."
Marriner padded on the lawn with her toes: "Am I the only one?"
"You are the only one now, because I don't need to bring too many people, and... the second team can't lose the entire coaching staff at once, otherwise there will be trouble. Julio and Juan will stay in the second team, but next time
If I were still the head coach of the first team next season, I would transfer them all to the first team...that would be a thing for another time." Dick replied.
Marriner raised his head, and then let out a long breath: "Okay, I'll follow you... But I hope you don't make the boys in the second team sad, they like you very much now."
Dick was stunned again. He really hadn't thought about this - originally he was the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team, so he never thought about growing up in this position. For him, this position was just a springboard.
Through good performance in this position, he will take advantage of Atletico Madrid's poor results this season to quickly enter the ranks of first-line head coaches. This is his plan. But now that Marriner has said this, his reluctance to leave Atletico Madrid's second team is just like
It came to his mind like a tide.
This is a group of very simple kids. The average age of the main lineup is less than 22 years old. Most of them are not geniuses, they are just ordinary players. Most of them will go their separate ways after playing in the second team for a while. They are very obedient.
Faced with Dick, a head coach with no experience, he followed his instructions to play the game, and worked together to achieve such good results - Dick knew that he might never find anyone more obedient than these players in the future.
team, especially if you are new here.
From October 6, 1999, to April 9, 2000, six months, three days, and one hundred and eighty-five days, Dick accumulated initial experience as a head coach and gave him a foothold.
, when he finally achieved his goal and was about to move to the top league and become the head coach of a top team, Dick suddenly felt that the first team he coached might be the first team he coached in his coaching career.
The most purely coached team in China.
"I will tell them properly." Dick whispered.
Marriner nodded: "Do you need me to summon them now?"
Dick nodded.
Soon, all the players from Atletico Madrid's second team stood in front of Dick, with doubts on their young faces - they had never stopped training in the middle of training to gather in front of the head coach.
things that happened.
"Today, I want to tell you something."
Dick glanced at the players in front of him, and then raised his voice and said: "Today, just now, Mr. Hill, the chairman of the club, came to me and asked me if I was interested in succeeding Mr. Antic, who had just resigned, to become the first team of Atletico Madrid.
As the head coach, I helped Atletico Madrid successfully avoid relegation... I have agreed to this job transfer and will take up the position in the first team tomorrow."
As soon as Dick said these words, it was like a piece of water being poured out of the oil pan. There was a splash, and the players all let out exclamations - they were different from Marriner in this regard, they didn't have any at all.
Think of this!
"I am an employee of Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid needs me now. I have no reason not to contribute my strength." Dick ignored the players who had begun to whisper, but continued: "I don't want to leave you.
But now the first team needs me more... After joining the first team this time, we still have time to meet... perform well, and if I can still lead the first team next year, maybe some of you will also go to the first team.
"
Dick's last paragraph attracted some of the attention of the players. For the players of the second team, the most anticipated thing is of course to be able to enter the first team. With their age and talent, it may be difficult for them to enter the first team.
team, now that Dick, the head coach who was born in the second team, has entered the first team, they seem to have more opportunities...
"Tomorrow there will be a new head coach coming to take over... I hope you can perform as before and try to win a championship for me! Although I cannot win this championship with you, no matter what, in the future
When people talk about Atletico Madrid's second team winning the Segunda División title, they will talk about all of us. It was us who created this achievement together and it will remain in the memories of Atletico Madrid fans forever."
"Goodbye, guys, I hope we can meet again somewhere else in the future."
Looking at the players who were gradually quieting down, Dick waved his hand and said, "We all come from all over the world and have come together for the same goal... Although it has only been half a year, I am very happy. Everyone believes in me as a newcomer.
A good rookie, we have created such outstanding results together with me. From 21st to first place, we have surpassed not only 20 opponents, but also created a miracle. Now that I have left, I
Let’s go first, I became a deserter. But you can’t be deserters, go ahead and win a championship! Won the first Spanish Second Division championship in the history of Atletico Madrid’s second team!”
"No problem, boss!" Torres said loudly in the crowd: "We will definitely win the Spanish Second Division championship! At that time, we will tell everyone at the celebration ceremony that it is because of you that we won this
