Five million U.S. dollars, 200,000 U.S. dollars for each player - Dick has already stated that the coaching staff will not take a cent of this money - in fact, he himself has a million U.S. dollar bonus, and he also fights for Marriner
If you get a bonus, you will naturally be happy and generous.
Although the salaries of Atletico Madrid players are quite high, when are we now? This is the time when European football has not yet started to burn money, and when superstars like Figo and Rivaldo only earn three million U.S. dollars.
When it comes to annual salary - otherwise Figo wouldn't have signed the famous private agreement with Florentino for a mere $350,000. The $200,000 was placed in front of all the players. As long as he followed Dick's
If you direct them to do it, you can get an extra month or two of salary.
In any case, with their future as a threat and bonuses as a temptation, Atletico Madrid players have temporarily begun to listen to Dick, the head coach. On the first day that Dick took over the Atletico Madrid first team, he used just
The combination of gentleness and flexibility achieved the desired effect.
Of course, violent methods cannot be maintained for too long. In the final analysis, the team's performance must be reversed. Atletico Madrid has not won a game for a long time-Antic's six-game winless game, coupled with Ranieri's previous
The team has been winless in four rounds. Atletico Madrid has not won a single game in the league for ten rounds and has only drawn four games. The morale of the entire team has been low and has reached rock bottom.
At this time, what Atletico Madrid needs is a victory to unite people. As long as they can win a game, then anything is easy to say. Using carrots and sticks, Dick barely suppressed it in the following period.
It's still possible to keep the players safe.
As for next season... let's talk about next season. A large-scale exchange of blood is inevitable for Atletico Madrid next season. Dick doesn't care how many players he offends. Atletico Madrid's internal affairs are not particularly complicated because there is an iron-fisted hope.
As long as he has Hill's support, he really doesn't worry that the players will unite to deal with him.
After doing all this, Dick waved his hand and asked Marriner to direct the players to train. He watched from the sidelines without saying a word - he didn't know how to direct the training. He was at the training ground.
On the side, I just observe the status and strength of the players, and at the same time quickly get familiar with the players.
Molina, Capdevila, Baraja, Hasselbaink, Solari, Belleron, these are the players he is familiar with, but he is not special to other players.
Familiar, but he has been paying attention to the situation of the first team in the past few months, and has a certain understanding of those players who are no longer famous in later generations.
Kiko, the current prince of Atletico Madrid, the person in Madrid who can compete with Raul, is now 27 years old, is Atletico Madrid's number one forward, and is also a Spanish international. In the 1998 World Cup, Spain defeated Bulgaria 6-1.
, Kiko scored two goals - that was also the last performance of the Spanish national team in the 1998 World Cup.
However, in Dick's view, apart from his passionate celebrations after scoring goals, this prince is already far behind the all-powerful Kiko a few years ago. He only scored four goals this season.
, his condition has declined completely. Historically, he chose to retire at the age of 29 after two years, which shows that his current physical fitness has declined a lot.
What Dick didn't know was that after historical relegation this season, Kiko did not leave but stayed. Atletico Madrid fans excitedly shouted "With Kiko, there is hope!". As a result, Kiko failed to score a single goal in the second division.
They didn't score, and Atletico Madrid failed to be promoted successfully. Kiko left sadly amid the scoldings of Atletico fans, and Torres succeeded in taking over - and then a year later, Kiko retired.
"I don't have any modifiers to change my physical fitness, so I'll just operate on this guy." Dick thought in his mind - in his opinion, Kiko has nothing to save, his condition has declined a lot, he is just a
Ordinary forwards will retire in one or two years, so what's the use of saving them? From a personal perspective, if Kiko doesn't leave, Torres won't be able to take over. Of course, he hopes to let Torres, who is already half of his direct lineage, take over.
As for the other Spanish international forward Lardin, he is also in poor condition. This legendary talented forward has never shown his strength after joining Atletico Madrid. He is now in his fourth year at Atletico Madrid.
He scored a total of six goals. In Dick's view, this kind of thin forward does not meet the requirements of modern football. He doesn't know how he was competed by teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona a few years ago.
…
Uruguayan forward Correa is in good condition, but he is not a good shooter and never scores many goals.
The only reliable player on the front line is probably Hasselbaink. He has now scored 18 goals, which is considered top-notch in the entire La Liga. However, his overall condition is poor. No matter how many goals he scores, it will be useless.
Just like two years ago, Vieri scored four goals in a game against Atletico Madrid, but the team still lost the game 4-5.
In the midfield, Belleron and Baraja are both good players and players with strong potential. These two people will be the targets that Dick wants to win over, and both of them are typical players with good character and football skills.
player, Belleron relied on his down-to-earth style to become the core of Deportivo's midfield after joining Deportivo La Coruna, which formed a sharp contrast with the talented and undisciplined Dejaminha, and this person's character
He was so good that he was almost a saint. When Deportivo was in economic crisis, he would rather help the team play football without taking any money. At the same time, he used his own money to build a ranch in his hometown and provided it to the poor local people for free.
To supplement them—Spain’s Lei Feng, that’s all.
Baraja is also a player with extremely high professionalism after moving to Valencia. This kind of player must be valued.
However, the defense gave Dick a headache. There is no doubt about the ability of Paraguay defender Gamarra. He is one of the important members of Paraguay's steel defense line. He also performed very well in the Brazilian league, but his performance in Atletico Madrid was quite average.
, the 1-4 defeat to Deportivo in the last round was due to his poor guarding of Ma Kai. Ma Kai’s hat trick was created by him. Chamot was in mediocre form, and the other central defender Sandy was not too young.
, there is a problem with the central defender position. Although the two full-backs Aguilera and Capdevila performed well, they could not make Atletico Madrid's defense better.
"No wonder they played so poorly. It looks like the cards are good, but in fact there are too many weaknesses..." Dick sighed inwardly while watching the team train.
At present, Atletico Madrid's strongest point is in the midfield. It seems that if they want to quickly improve their combat effectiveness, they have to make decisions in the midfield.
During this day's training, Dick didn't say a word, leaving all the training to Marriner, while he was constantly thinking about something in his mind.
"Juan, let's talk."
After the training, Dick called Belleron to his office - privately, of course. This midfielder is a player Dick needs to rely on. Atletico Madrid's locker room is not monolithic, and Dick must quickly establish his own
To gain authority, one has to win over one faction after another. Among the players to win over, Belleron is a key point.
Belleron, Spain's Zidane, one of the two best organizers of Spain's 70s generation. However, due to stage and personal reasons, he has never been able to perform at a higher level. In Dick's view, he is
A figure who can be compared with Harvey is of course the top Harvey in the later period. He is even better than Harvey in terms of passing vision and imagination. Compared with Harvey, his passing is better.
He is full of adventurous spirit, but he was born at the wrong time. If he had been born a few years later, I am afraid that the head coach of the Spanish national team would have had a headache over whether Xavi or Belleron should be the core of the midfield.
What restrains him from reaching a higher level is his character. His character can be called a gentleman, both on and off the court - of course such a character is great off the court, but in
He seems a bit soft on the court, and the biggest difference between him and Zidane is his physical fitness and scoring ability. This is Zidane's innate talent, a talent that surpasses the average midfielder.
"Juan, I called you here today to tell you one thing. From today on, you will be Atletico Madrid's midfield commander. The attacking midfielder is where you are used to playing, but you don't necessarily need to be fixed in the forward position.
In this position of the waist... position deep, let people protect you, and use your passing and scheduling abilities." Dick said to Belleron straight to the point. Belleron's temper was a bit soft, and he was also obedient.
Players, for such players, it is most appropriate to tell him your requirements directly.
"Mr. Head Coach, do you want me to play Guardiola's position?" Belleron lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked.
"Yes, that's it... organize and dispatch from behind, and send fatal direct passes to the frontcourt when you have the opportunity. Maybe you are a little worse than Guardiola in dispatching, but in terms of passing threatening balls, you are better than him
Much stronger." Dick smiled and said: "Charging from the front is not what you are good at. On the contrary, it is easy to be dragged down by the close defense of the opponent's defender, and you can use your abilities later."
Dick is extremely convinced of this point. The Deportivo La Coruña team with Belleron in later generations can be said to be one of the teams that has done the most thorough job of purely controlling the midfield. Of course, Deportivo La Coruña
It has always had a strong Brazilian flavor, and having Belleron, a master of midfield control, is one of the most critical factors.
"I understand, Mr. Coach." Belleron nodded. He was very interested in what Dick said. Compared with Guardiola, who has been famous for a long time, Belleron is now less than 25 years old.
Long is still just a junior, and Dick said that he could improve him to the level of Guardiola. Even if Belleron didn't trust Dick too much, he was very interested in doing so.
"Call me boss from now on, do you understand?" Dick corrected him.
Beleron nodded: "I understand, boss."
Looking at Bellelon's back as he pushed the door open and left, Dick laughed - this guy was indeed a screw of the revolution as rumored, and he could move wherever needed. As long as he didn't overly command, he would obey orders. In Spain
In the national team, the attacking midfielder position should obviously belong to him, but because the head coach needs to let Raul play as the attacking midfielder, Belleron's main position is no longer guaranteed, but he shows no signs of causing trouble.
A typical good player whose bounden duty is to obey orders.
Such a good player should really be put to good use.
"Bellelon organized from the back, using Baraja to sprint back and forth to strengthen the vitality of the midfield. The Italian Serena dragged behind to sweep, and Solari and Léal sprinted from the wings. This midfielder has taken initial shape.
ah……"
Looking at the information about Malaga sent by Marina, Dick thought to himself.
Six days later, there will be a home game against Málaga. This must be a good start.
