Just when the pro-Barcelona media started to verbally criticize Dick, Dick didn't care at all - what did he care about? If this group of media hadn't verbally criticized him like this, his reputation might still be smaller...
…
After winning such a brilliant victory, of course Dick had to go to Mr. Chairman to claim credit - he was now very poor and had nothing to gain. He would get as much benefit as he could. Old Hill was also known to be very mean.
What about people.
"Di, you've done really well in these games!"
After seeing Dick enter his office, Old Hill immediately greeted him enthusiastically, then handed him a tall glass, opened his wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of red wine that was said to be very precious.
Then he poured half a glass for Dick: "I watched the last game live...a game like this is worth a drink!"
Dick laughed heartily, then picked up the wine glass and touched it gently with Old Hill.
After taking a sip of red wine, Dick couldn't tell what the taste was. In his previous life, when he was picking up girls in China, he also drank some red wine in a fashionable manner. However, he didn't understand the twists and turns...
"Di, yesterday's game was really exciting. How are the players' physical fitness and condition now?"
Old Hill asked in a roundabout way, and Dick knew as soon as he heard that he also had such doubts, that is, is it worth it to affect the league competition for such a game? Indeed, compared with the loss of the team's relegation,
A King's Cup can't make up for anything at all. Fans don't care about these ideas, but as the chairman of the club, Hill has to care.
"Mr. Chairman, don't worry... If it really affects the league, it will definitely be inappropriate. But who can say that it will definitely affect the league? Is the team's poor performance in previous games just because of physical fitness?
?No, it’s because their morale has been low and they have no confidence at all. There is no problem with their physical fitness at all. We were eliminated from the UEFA Cup very early, and we have not withstood any test in the King’s Cup. It is nothing more than one game a week in the league.
It's just a game, what's the problem with physical fitness? Their problem is not that they are too tired, but that they are not able to tense up! Such a game allows them to concentrate and can support it, but it can make their condition better. The distance
The season ends in less than a month. No matter how tired they are, they will grit their teeth and persevere. If they relax at this time, it will actually make their condition worse!"
Old Hill was not a particularly knowledgeable chairman. When he heard Dick's words, he nodded: "Well, Dick, since I handed over the team to you, then everything depends on you."
!”
Dick laughed, didn't he understand what Old Hill meant? With great power comes great responsibility...
"Well, there is one more thing, and that is about Kiko...what do you think of him?" After sitting down, Hill frowned and asked.
Hill also has deep feelings for the player Kiko. He can become the prince in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans and compete with Raul in Madrid. Kiko and Hill are also very happy to cooperate - Kiko
He is not a very ambitious player, he has a good temper, and his loyalty to Atletico Madrid is unquestionable, so Kiko has become the player who has stayed at the club for the longest time under Hill - even Aguilai
La also left Atletico Madrid and played for other teams for three years before returning.
So even though Kiko has been in poor condition in the past two years, Hill has never thought of selling him - this is a flag! The so-called flag is an existence that cannot be shaken no matter what, whether it is the iron-fisted Sacchi or
Ranieri, who preferred to use the Italian, did not touch Kiko's position. As a result, Dick moved it as soon as he came, and he moved it very thoroughly. The most important thing is that the effect after moving Kiko was still very good.
good……
So Hill also wanted to ask Dick what he thought of Kiko.
"A very professional player."
Dick's first words affirmed Kiko's professionalism. In these three rounds, Kiko has not had a chance to play for one minute. However, he has never had any emotions in the locker room and is also very good in training.
After completing his own training, as a banner figure, he suddenly fell into such a situation and was able to maintain such qualities. It is definitely a rare thing, so Dick's evaluation of "a very professional player" is not at all
Pass.
Hearing what Dick said, Old Hill smiled. However, Dick quickly added: "However, his health has deteriorated to a certain extent. I don't know why he was born at the age of twenty-seven."
His physical fitness had dropped so drastically when he was a kid, but now he really can no longer run on the court, and his aura is gradually disappearing. At the same time, he is not the kind of player who doesn't score goals and has obvious tactical significance.
He is a pure shooter who does not rely on his body, skills, or speed...but relies on his sensitive sense of smell in front of the goal. He can become a top shooter just by relying on his sensitive sense of smell, as was the case with Kiko in the past.
In this way, Fowler was like this before, Raul is like this now, Inzaghi is like this now..."
"But when such a shooter begins to lose his keen sense of smell in front of the goal, he begins to become worthless. I know this is a bit cruel, but football fields have always been cruel. Look at Fowler, once
The Prince of Liverpool has scored nearly 30 goals in a single season in the Premier League, and the ratio of appearances to goals has reached three to two. Now? Three goals in a single season! A shooter without aura is worse than a coolie. At least the coolie center is tactically effective.
It’s still very helpful…”
"You mean... Kiko is useless?" Old Hill asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Dick would make such a cruel conclusion after affirming Kiko's professionalism...
"At least in my tactics, he is of no use. Hasselbaink is a good shooter. He is now more useful than Kiko. Kiko has similar characteristics to him. He is much different physically and in speed.
A lot, and the state is even worse... Even next season, if Hasselbaink leaves, we can bring in better shooters. Even if I play as a double forward, it is impossible to arrange two tacklers.
A point forward to reduce the control and intimidation of the midfield. Kiko is of little use to Atletico Madrid now, unless he is a mascot on the bench."
Dick said ruthlessly, and lightly sentenced a loyal minister who had played for Atletico Madrid for more than 150 games to death. Looking at his face, Old Hill was a little dizzy. He seemed to see his young self, cruel.
, decisive, ruthless, anything that does not meet the requirements will be kicked away by him. However, it is often such people who are the most able to create achievements and accomplish great things!
"I think I understand... You can do whatever you want this season. If you can successfully avoid relegation, I will give you more power to better transform the team next season." Old Hill rubbed his hands a little tiredly.
Rubbing his eyebrows, he said: "I hope Atletico Madrid can be brilliant again, nine league championships, and I think it is enough to reach double digits..."
"What if we are not just successful in relegation? What if we can win the King's Cup and enter the UEFA Cup next season?" Dick suddenly laughed and looked at Old Hill with a very cunning look.
"You mean...avoiding relegation and also winning the King's Cup?" Old Hill perked up.
"Is there any conflict?" Dick laughed: "The King's Cup final is on May 28th, and the last round of the league is on May 20th. There is still a week left.
Before this, it was no problem to concentrate on playing in the league. As for the semi-finals with one more game...with a three-goal advantage, will it still be a problem?"
Old Hill also understood, and then burst into laughter.
"Well done, Dick!" Old Hill patted him heavily on the shoulder: "If we can avoid relegation and win the King's Cup, then this season will not be considered a failure!"
"Compared with Atletico Madrid's future glory, this season is considered a failure." Dick laughed.
Hearing this, Old Hill was even more happy. It was obvious that what Dick meant was that in the following season, Atletico Madrid would be even more brilliant. The glory of Atletico Madrid was the glory of the Hill family. For Old Hill
For me, this is also the thing he is happiest to see.
"Boss, if I can still win the King's Cup, what's the reward?" Seeing that Old Hill seemed to be in a good mood, Dick suddenly said.
"Reward?" Old Hill was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "How about the bonus? If you win the King's Cup, you will get an additional bonus of US$500,000... What you will get is no less than Van Gaal!"
Van Gaal's annual salary in Barcelona is more than two million US dollars. Dick's bonus of US$1.5 million plus an annual salary of nearly one million is indeed close to catching up with the salary of a first-tier head coach in La Liga. At this time, Hope
I regard relegation as the top priority. As long as it is not an outrageous bonus, one million and hundreds of thousands is nothing compared to the losses caused by relegation.
"Thank you for your generosity, boss." Dick greeted with a rare courtesy, then turned and left Old Hill's office.
Old Hill looked at Dick's back and laughed.
Dick asked for money so blatantly, but he didn't think anything. In this society, the more you work, the more you get. If Dick can lead the team to successfully avoid relegation, he should get these bonuses. The most important thing is that Dick has shown
He is a person with passion, and a person with passion is less likely to make people feel dangerous. Besides, Dick is just a head coach, and it is impossible to shake the dominance of the Hill family in Atletico Madrid. The better his performance,
The position of the Hill family in Atletico Madrid becomes more stable. As for who should be hired as the head coach... doesn't it also require a salary? As long as Dick can lead the team to achieve enough results, then hiring someone else would be better than hiring this old Hill.
A young man who I feel very fond of!
"Don't disappoint me, kid, otherwise not only will you not get the bonus, I will put all the responsibility for the relegation on you! If we can successfully avoid relegation and win the King's Cup, next season, I will correct the situation
Your position and give you more power to strive to win the tenth league championship trophy for Atletico Madrid!"
Old Hill murmured a sigh. Time is not forgiving. Hill, who has always been tough, feels that he is getting older in the past two years. Moreover, he has been involved in lawsuits in the past two years, which has also given him a lot of trouble.
Trouble, Atletico Madrid's unstable performance in recent years is actually related to the shock at the top. Without Hill, no one can suppress it...
The emergence of Dick at this time is indeed good news for Atletico Madrid and Old Hill.
