Chapter 30: Carrots and Sticks

"Two draws and four losses in six rounds, Antici resigned sadly"

"Miracle! From a rookie to the head coach of the second team to the fire-fighting coach of Atletico Madrid, it only took the Chinese club half a year"

"It is reported that after coach Antic took over Atletico Madrid midway but suffered poor results, he has submitted his resignation to the club, and Atletico Madrid chairman Hill also agreed to his resignation report. And Atletico Madrid will become the leader of this season.

The third head coach is the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team, the 21-year-old Chinese Dick. This is the youngest head coach in the history of La Liga. Although he is only a temporary coach, from this aspect

, Hill created another record. However, judging from the current situation of Atletico Madrid, it is natural for Dick to become the firefighting coach. This young head coach put out the firefighting of Atletico Madrid's second team in October this year, and then in half a year

Time has brought Atletico Madrid's second team, which was ranked second from last, to the current first position in La Liga. Now Atletico Madrid and their second team are in similar situations at that time. They are both ranked second from last, and the situation is terrible - except Atletico Madrid.

The current situation is even worse than that of the second team at that time. They are seven points behind the relegation zone and there are only six rounds left in the league. Can young Dick continue to create miracles?"

"It seems that Atletico Madrid has nothing to do now. Old Hill actually set his sights on a 21-year-old young head coach... It seems that he hopes for a miracle. However, if the miracle does not happen, I think

Hill's reign at Atletico Madrid will probably come to an end."

After Atletico Madrid reported the first-team personnel changes, various media began to report on them the next day - in fact, reporters like old Hill very much, because this rude old guy can always make some news.

Just his continuous firing of coaches is enough to constantly bring news to the media - this time is also the case.

While reporters were hyping up the matter, Dick had already appeared on the sidelines of the first-team training ground at the Mahdahonda training base - not very far from the second-team training ground, but the gap was huge.

They are completely different - one is a training venue for the professional team, and the other is a training venue for the second team.

The first team has two training grounds, while the second team only has one. Judging from the quality of the lawn, the first team's training ground lawn is still much better...

Dick is standing here now, and beside him is Marriner, who is also a temporary assistant coach.

With the departure of Ranieri and Antic, Atletico Madrid's coaching staff has become a mess - Ranieri came with his own coaching team, including a physical coach, a goalkeeper coach and a tactical coach.

, with his dismissal, the coaching team naturally all left, and Antici did not bring anyone here. Now, except for the newly joined head coach Dick and assistant coach Marriner, Atletico Madrid’s coaching staff

There are only two assistants responsible for training.

Dick doesn't care about this. He only needs to play six league games now, two King's Cup semi-finals and possibly a King's Cup final - there is no need for a physical coach. In terms of tactical drills, there are Marriner and the two

An assistant is enough, anyway, it’s just for more than a month.

He scanned the players of Atletico Madrid's first team in front of him - some of them were very familiar to him, such as Dutch forward Hasselbaink, Spanish midfielder Belleron, Spanish midfielder Baraja, and Argentinian wing versatile

Solari, Spanish goalkeeper Molina...

Through this period of hard work, Dick also had a preliminary understanding of the current composition of Atletico Madrid. The more he looked at these names, the more incredible he felt that Atletico Madrid's relegation was - the goalkeeper position was Ranieri's main force.

Although goalkeeper Tony's performance is average, he is also a very famous goalkeeper. Who is the substitute goalkeeper? That is the national team goalkeeper Jose Molina who will shine in Deportivo! On the defense line, Paraguay's main force

The central defender Gamarra, the Argentinian defender Chamot who once performed well in AC Milan, on the left is the later Spanish international Capdevila, and on the right is Atletico Madrid's veteran Aguilera. In the midfield, Barcelona

Raha, who later became the absolute main midfielder of Valencia and the Spanish national team, was just a substitute. The main midfielder was Serena, a versatile midfielder from Italy. The attacking midfielders included Solari, Belleron,

Juninho, Hasselbaink's scoring ability on the forward line is undoubted, Fernando Correa is the Uruguay international, Kiko is the prince of Atletico Madrid, and Lardin was previously considered a genius boy.

Existence, if he was not a Spaniard and was unwilling to go to rival Barcelona, ​​I am afraid Atletico Madrid would not be able to introduce him...

Originally, Dick didn't know who this Lardin was. After investigation, he found out that when this guy transferred from Espanyol to Atletico Madrid three summers ago, his worth was as high as 16 million, second only to

Hasselbaink, worth 17 million, and Vieri and Juninho, worth 18 million, are among the most expensive transfer players in Atletico Madrid history.

With so many good cards, but with such a character, Dick really couldn't figure out why Atletico Madrid's results were so poor this season.

The reason why he has confidence is because he has confidence in these names, among others, goalkeeper Molina, defenders Capdevila, Gamarra, midfielder Baraja, Belleron, Solari,

Forward Hasselbaink - just these names that make him feel familiar can form a strong team!

He is looking at the players in front of him now, and the players are also looking at him - Atletico Madrid players don't think highly of this head coach. After all, he is only 21 years old, and the youngest player in the team is also looking at him.

They are all bigger than him.

"From today on, I am your head coach. Although it is only temporary, I will be your head coach from now until the end of this season."

Dick's opening remarks were very rude, which made many players look at him with dissatisfaction - Why, such a young boy still wants to establish his authority as soon as he comes? Stop joking!

Ranieri is a good-natured head coach, and Antic has a relatively gentle temper. Except for Sacchi who was iron-fisted last season, Atletico Madrid's head coaches in recent years have all had better tempers -

- When working under a strong chairman, it is impossible to have a bad temper, which also makes Atletico Madrid players feel spoiled.

"Before taking office, I discussed it with Mr. Chairman... I am confident that Atletico Madrid can successfully avoid relegation, but it also requires your efforts - I have only one request, play according to the tactics I arranged, and dedicate your efforts on the field.

With my strength, we will be able to keep winning until we are successfully relegated. I hope everyone can help me."

Dick continued, "Such words naturally do not have much lethality - be obedient? Just because you are a young head coach? This is the sentiment of many Atletico Madrid players.

In addition to Ranieri's risky tactics, Atletico Madrid is now in its current state. The players are no longer motivated on the court, which is also a big reason. After all, they were also the champions three years ago. This is

A few years of blood transfusions wouldn't be a bad thing, and he wouldn't have fallen to this level.

Seeing a look of disdain on the faces of many players, Dick showed a sinister smile - are you dissatisfied with me? Very good, you can only tell everything if you put it all out. I'm not afraid of breaking the skin. You have a way out.

, I didn’t, why should I be afraid of breaking my skin?

"I know that just talking with words is of no use. I will prove it with actions. As long as you follow my arrangements, we can successfully avoid relegation. But if someone doesn't follow my arrangements...

"Dick continued, while several players were thinking in their hearts - what can you do?

"I will write down the names of the disobedient players and hand them over to Mr. Chairman."

Hearing Dick's words, some players couldn't help but laugh - it's so funny! What? Are you reporting to the teacher? Boy, you are so naive!

"...Mr. Chairman said that if anyone does not listen to me at this time and the game is not won, as long as they still have contracts, none of them will be allowed to leave! They will all go to the Spanish Second Division and stay for a year until the game is over.

Until the team is upgraded! I think there should be no clause in your contract that allows you to leave if the team is downgraded, right?"

When Dick said these words, many people's smiles froze on their faces - this is really not the case. After all, Atletico Madrid is also one of the strongest teams in La Liga. It has performed like this this season.

Almost no one would have thought of it. For example, Hasselbaink, Juninho and others who joined Atletico Madrid this season came to Atletico Madrid to get honors and high salaries. They never thought about the possibility of Atletico Madrid.

Naturally, the contract does not stipulate that if a team is downgraded, it can leave on its own. Originally, if Atletico Madrid were downgraded, because their salaries are very high, it is not something that a Spanish second division team can afford. Most of them will

They will leave at a low price, but if Atletico Madrid really wants to force them to stay, they really have to stay!

Most of Atletico Madrid's players are respectable, and they really can't bear to go to Segunda División for a year - many of them are already quite old. Going to Segunda División for another year, even though the salary is quite high.

Yes, but will they have other clubs asking for it a year from now?

As soon as Dick swung this big stick, many players were immediately stunned, and then they began to realize that this young head coach was indeed not someone to be trifled with - at least being able to say it so categorically on the first day of taking office also proved that

This is a guy who can do anything!

Just as Dick thought, these players all have a way out. Now that Dick has forced them to have no way out, do they still dare not listen to Dick? If they really want to fight to the death, it won't be Dick who suffers the ultimate loss.

Gram, it’s them!

The most important thing is that the old Hill's notoriety played a big role at this time - this is a guy with a gangster background, and he can do anything. He will definitely be very angry if Atletico Madrid is relegated. If this young man

The head coach made a small report and made a stumbling block behind him. In his anger, Old Hill might really do something like this that would hurt both parties!

Dick's tiger body perked up and he was overflowing with domineering power. All the Atletico Madrid players were dumbfounded when they looked at Dick, the fox who was using the power of Old Hill as a tiger to gain fame...

The stick has been waved, now it’s time for the carrot.

"Of course, if you all play according to my arrangements, even if you are not relegated in the end, Mr. Chairman will not be angry with you. The responsibility will be borne by me. You can still find a better place... If you are lucky,

, if we succeed in relegation, Mr. Chairman has prepared a bonus of up to five million US dollars, which will be divided equally among the twenty-five players of the first team, and each player can receive a bonus of US$200,000!"

The players who were shocked by Dick's threat just now were shocked again...
