This stadium is not the first stadium used by Atletico Madrid, but it is the stadium that hosted Atletico Madrid's most glorious period. In this stadium, Atletico Madrid won four league championships, six Copa del Rey championships, and one
Champions League runner-up, Intercontinental Cup champion once (participating as runner-up), European Cup Winners Cup runner-up...
Originally this stadium was named Manzanares Stadium because it was located on the banks of the Manzanares River in the southwest of Madrid. In 1971, it was named in memory of Mr. Vicente Calderon, the greatest president in the history of Atletico Madrid.
And renaming the Calderon Stadium - This is a very common thing in Spain, naming the stadium after a person. Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium was named in memory of Santiago Bernabeu.
Atletico Madrid fans are extremely proud of this stadium, but Atletico Madrid's results this season have made them quite anxious. If they had not thought about the possibility of Atletico Madrid being relegated before, then the current situation of Atletico Madrid has already
Let them know one thing - that is, if no miracle happens, Atletico Madrid may be relegated to the Second Division for the second time in history!
At this time, Hill appointed Dick, the head coach of the second team, as the interim coach. To be honest, this appointment was quite satisfactory. Even though Dick was only 21 years old and even if he was Chinese, under the current circumstances,
Only he, the head coach of the second team, could put out the fire, not to mention Dick did a really good job in the second team.
Most Atletico Madrid fans looked at Dick's appointment with a "just listen" mentality, but what did this guy do after he took office? He immediately took down the prince in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans! Damn it, Ji.
When Ko helped us win the double crown, you bastard was still nursing!
After the media revealed the news that Kiko had been removed from the main lineup by Dick, Atletico Madrid fans immediately became strongly dissatisfied, although some fans felt that Kiko's condition had declined significantly in the past two years.
But after all, Kiko is one of the favorite players of Atletico Madrid fans. Dick has no reputation and no foundation when he comes up. If he takes advantage of such a tough guy, it will naturally cause a strong backlash.
Dick was not unaware of the consequences of doing so, but he knew that these six games were Atletico Madrid's last chance and he could not allow him to adjust slowly, even though Atletico Madrid was already a
For a seriously ill patient, taking strong medicine may make him more seriously ill. However, now Atletico is not only a seriously ill patient, but also a seriously ill patient who does not have long to live. Even if it is morphine, he has to use it even if he has no choice but to use it.
If Kiko's poor condition was only due to team tactics and other reasons, Dick might still have the patience to stimulate his condition, but he clearly knew that Kiko's history would go to the Spanish Second Division next season.
He didn't score a single goal, and then retired sadly two years later. It was obvious that he was no longer useful, and he was still wasting time on him-not to mention that Dick didn't have time to waste now, even if he had time, he couldn't waste it like this.
ah!
When taking the bus to the Calderon Stadium with the team, Dick saw a lot of Atletico Madrid fans surrounding the entrance to the stadium. They held up banners saying "We want Kiko, not Chinese" to Dick.
Demonstration.
Many Atletico Madrid players also saw such a banner, and they couldn't help but glance at Dick. Dick's expression was calm, as if he hadn't seen it, while Kiko put his hand on his chin and looked out the window, as calm as water.
.
In such a silent environment, the players got off the bus and walked to the locker room.
Dick was the last one to come in - looking at the crowd of professional players in front of him, Dick felt a little complacent in his heart - after being reborn for more than half a year, he was able to face a group of top players and command, no wonder Dick was so ambitious.
A feeling of satisfaction.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Dick knew clearly that everything in front of him was just a reflection of the mirror - all his power came from Hill's temporary grant. If he could not lead the team to complete the task of relegation, I am afraid that he
He can't even go back to the second team. For any head coach of the second team, entering the first team is an opportunity and a gamble. If he loses, he has no hope of even going back to be the head coach of the second team. He can only change places and start from scratch.
.
This is something Dick can't stand. In order to achieve the goal of leading Atletico Madrid to avoid relegation, he will do anything. No matter who is blocking the way, he will kick the opponent away!
After regaining his composure, Dick began to lecture.
He didn't talk loudly to motivate the players - this was whimsical, because Dick had half threatened and half lured the team to quiet down before. It's a joke to say that the players were more convinced by him.
No matter how impassioned you speak, the players still need to respond. If all the players are lazy, it will only damage morale.
"You should be clear about the training these days. How to play on the field, just follow the tactics arranged on the training field. Now you also understand the situation at Atletico Madrid, I won't talk nonsense, go and win
Only in this game can we win the future... If everyone tries their best, the responsibility is mine. If everyone doesn't try their best..."
Dick didn't finish his words, but the threat was very strong.
The players were silent, and Dick knew that most of the players were unconvinced, but they were able to suppress it for the time being.
"Set off!"
After a simple sentence, the Atletico Madrid players walked out of the locker room under the leadership of captain Aguilera. Originally, Atletico Madrid's captain was Kiko, but now he is on the bench, and the captain is naturally the second captain Aji.
Leila is in charge. Aguilera was born in the Atletico Madrid youth training camp, but he transferred midway and left for three years. The rest of the time he has been playing for Atletico Madrid. Strictly speaking, he is more established than Kiko, who was transferred midway.
Hong, he is the captain, so no one is dissatisfied.
After the players all walked out of the locker room, Dick smoked a cigarette, then stamped out the cigarette butt vigorously, then patted the ashes on himself and strode out of the locker room.
Walking through the long passage of the Calderon Stadium, when the light appeared in front of him, Dick also heard the tide of cheers coming from the stands.
The Calderon Stadium can accommodate 54,000 people. Although Atletico Madrid is now deep in the relegation zone, Atletico Madrid fans have not given up. The entire stadium is still full. Countless Atletico Madrid fans are shouting and expressing their feelings in the stands.
We would like to express our support to the club at this critical time.
This scene is of course very heartwarming. Historically, after Atletico Madrid was relegated, thousands of Atletico Madrid fans lit lighters and walked sadly around the Calderon Stadium for several times. This is the foundation of a strong team. They can win at any time.
Support is essential.
However, when Dick appeared outside the players' tunnel, the entire Calderon Stadium was quiet for a while, and then several stands began to boo at the same time. These stands all had the slogan "We want Kiko, not Chinese".
Most of the other stands in the stands with the banner chose to remain silent and watch indifferently. Obviously Dick's move was not popular.
Dick was already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the fans would start booing him before the game even started...
"Atletico Madrid's new head coach doesn't seem to be popular..." the commentator on Spanish National TV couldn't help but say: "But it's no wonder that there is no Kiko in Atletico Madrid today. Kiko appears in
On the bench, it seems that what was said before about Dick taking Kiko out of the lineup as soon as he took over was not groundless. Even if he had a reason to do so, it would be too reckless to do it directly. "
Amidst the boos, Dick's expression changed slightly, and then he strode towards the home team's coaching bench.
Before sitting down, Dick suddenly laughed, then turned around and made a "V" gesture to the stand with the loudest boos...
"This bastard!" Many fans who often watch Atletico Madrid's second team cursed loudly - do you think we are still playing in the second division? If you can win this time, then I won't scold you.
!
Some people understood the meaning of Dick's gesture, and naturally there were fans who had not watched much of the second team's game and did not know what Dick meant. Seeing this, they began to curiously ask their friends around them. Soon, all the fans
Sports fans know that when Dick makes this gesture, it means that he is already confident of winning the game!
"Stop joking, you can win if you say you win? Then Atletico Madrid won't be like this this season!" Many Atletico Madrid fans are thinking this way. At the same time, they also think of Dick's appearance in the second division.
Do what you say...
If you can win, it means that this guy does have some ability. Then let us see if you have this ability. Is there a reason to win Kiko or is it nonsense? If it is the former, we will support you. If it is the latter, we will support you.
Don't blame us for booing you from beginning to end!
In fact, this is what most Atletico Madrid fans think. After all, they are fans of Atletico Madrid, not fans of a certain player. Kiko's performance in recent years has indeed not been as good as in previous seasons.
With the future of this season in despair, Dick's move to capture Kiko after taking office was not liked by them, but it was also a sign of change...
They are now treating a dead horse as a living doctor, hoping that Dick can create a miracle. Even if it is just a glimmer of hope, they must pin their hopes on Dick.
Of course there is a small group of people who are Kiko's die-hard fans, the kind who are Kiko's brainless fans. Basically, Kiko's poor performance before, they will think that it is the coach's tactical problem rather than Kiko's ability.
When Ke passed the ball and his teammates didn't score, it was because his teammates didn't have good footwork. When his teammates passed the ball and Kiko didn't score, it was because his teammates didn't pass the ball well. In short, Kiko is good, but others are bad - now Dick
It's okay to offend the saints in their minds!
Those who went to protest near the Atletico Madrid club were basically the "Kiko Guards". For Dick, these fans were not what he wanted to win over - idiot fans are the most unreasonable creatures in the world!
Málaga coach Juan Pedro watched with cold eyes as Atletico Madrid fans were at loggerheads with their interim coach - which is certainly good news for Málaga, although Málaga now counts
Above all, there are no desires and no desires. For Pedro, he led the team to be promoted successfully last season, and this season he led Malaga to be firmly in the ranks of the relegation teams. Now if he can win again against the down-and-out Atletico Madrid
, then you will be able to stabilize your position and make your reputation even greater!
He also sent out all his main players in this game. Even if there is no actual benefit in this game, he will try his best to win to establish his position!
