The power of the fanning card was fully demonstrated in this round of the league. Because in this round of competition, Real Oviedo and Espanyol played a tragic game - the Spaniard has not actually completely escaped from the relegation zone.
They need to score at least one point to be able to successfully avoid relegation, and Real Oviedo needs to win to be able to successfully avoid relegation...
In the end, the Spaniards got what they wanted. They drew with Real Oviedo 1-1 in the away game and successfully got the points needed to avoid relegation. Atletico Madrid also got what they wanted. After winning this round of the league, their points reached 40
Seven points, four points ahead of Real Oviedo, which was 43 points ahead. With one round left, they successfully avoided relegation in advance!
When the news came, half of Madrid became a sea of joy. Atletico Madrid fans who had been holding back for a season began to celebrate crazily in Madrid, while Real Madrid fans curled their lips and looked at this group of extremely happy lower-level people——
We are ranked fifth and we are not so happy. You have reached the King's Cup final? We are about to enter the Champions League final!
But for the high-minded Real Madrid fans, how can they understand the hearts of Atletico Madrid people!
They are grassroots, civilians, and representatives of resistance. However, just like this society, grassroots resistance often only makes their failure more tragic, but Atletico people have never been afraid of it.
While Atletico Madrid successfully avoided relegation, Real Oviedo did not lose hope of relegation, because in another game, Numancia lost to Alaves in an away game, but was only one point ahead of Real Oviedo.
In the last round, they still had a chance to knock Numancia to the ground!
But all this has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.
The ecstatic old Hill announced on the same day that all the previously promised bonuses would be paid out, a total of six million US dollars in bonuses - five million of which were promised to the players, and the other one million was Dick's coaching contract.
In addition to winning the stipulated bonus, Old Hill also paid bonuses to other members of the coaching staff - under such circumstances, Old Hill was not stingy at all.
"There is still a King's Cup final. After winning the cup, I will have a drink with you all!"
At the celebration banquet, Old Hill raised his glass and shouted loudly.
The Atletico Madrid players responded with a roar, and then drank the wine in their glasses one after another. Dick also raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
After putting down the glass of wine, Old Hill hugged Dick's shoulders in a drunken state, and said loudly, smelling of alcohol: "This season, we have encountered a lot of troubles, and I have also made a lot of mistakes! But God bless, let me
I made the most critical choice at the most critical moment... Di! I believe you are the most suitable head coach for Atletico Madrid! You will lead Atletico Madrid to create a new era!"
For other presidents, this would certainly be a high praise, but when Hill said it, Dick just smiled - he knew what kind of person Hill was, and Sacchi and Ranieri took office.
I have received such praise every time. When Antic led the team to win the double championship, he was called "the greatest coach in the history of Atletico Madrid" - but so what? If the results are not good, they will still fall apart.
…
But the next few words from Hill made Dick a little happy: "Next, Atletico Madrid will renew Mr. Dick's contract for three years and will give him the same rights as in the last two months!"
Having said this, Old Hill patted Dick's chest heavily: "I'll take care of the club, you take care of the team!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy celebration hall immediately became quiet. Everyone looked at Old Hill and Dick in the middle. Little Hill next to him opened his mouth twice and wanted to say something.
What, I still forced myself to endure it.
After a moment of silence in the hall, Belleron and Ballack suddenly took the lead, and most of the Atletico Madrid players began to clap their hands vigorously - this was a call from their hearts!
Of course, there are also disappointed players, but they have known before that by leading Atletico Madrid to avoid relegation under almost impossible circumstances, Dick has established his position in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans. As long as his performance does not decline, even the old Greek
You can't fire him easily. You have to know that one or two years later, when Florentino came to power, he had already wanted to drive away Bosque. However, Bosque came back with a heavyweight championship every year.
, so Florentino could only watch the direct descendant left by his predecessor Sanz continue to be the head coach of Real Madrid. In the end, he couldn't help but think that "Bosque's appearance does not match Real Madrid's wealthy temperament" which almost made him
Bosque was fired for the reason of being a fan. Even Bosque himself did not expect that this move was actually a precursor to the collapse of the arrogant Galactic Battleship!
Although Old Hill, as the club's largest shareholder, has much greater control over the club than just elected Florentino, but similarly, he does not think that Dick is a direct descendant of his predecessor and must be eliminated.
Soon after that, as long as Dick leads the team and really achieves results, they won't do anything to him...
With such a coach who has indeed shown great ability to lead Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's players have reason to be optimistic about next season - as long as they can stay...
Once an emperor and a courtier, a strong head coach like Dick will definitely establish his own power in the locker room. And if Hill really gives Dick complete control over the team, then Atletico Madrid's locker room will have no control over the team.
That kind of laissez-faire situation may be gone forever...
Looking at the rather complicated expressions of the players, and then turning to look at the proud old Hill, Dick couldn't help but smile bitterly - yes, this is indeed what he wants to get, officially becoming Atletico Madrid
The head coach has gained the power to control the team, and then launched an attack on some more decent honors... But this is not the time to announce it! The team has indeed been relegated, but there is still a King's Cup final to play! If
If this news had not been announced, the players would have relied on the momentum of their early relegation success to participate in the next Copa del Rey match without any worries. But now that this news has been announced, the players will inevitably think about what they will do next season.
How, how will Dick treat them, how many players will be replaced by Atletico Madrid's first team? Some players who think that they may not be able to stay may find their agents when they go home today and ask him to prepare for them.
There may not be many such players, but a team trains and plays together, changes clothes and chats in the same locker room, how can they not affect each other? Even if it is only a small number of players, but they
It's enough to make the atmosphere in the entire locker room weird...
Fortunately, there are still two goal cards at the bottom, otherwise Dick is really going to get angry at this time - aren't you adding to the chaos? Are you the chairman of Atletico Madrid or an undercover agent sent by Real Madrid! If Atletico Madrid does something at this time
If they can't win the King's Cup, Real Madrid will laugh out loud - we don't even deal with you personally, we just sent our younger brother Spaniard, and we can kill you...
However, Dick could only smile bitterly at this time. He knew that Hill was not a particularly knowledgeable head coach, otherwise he would not have made this mistake. His statement at this time was more likely to appease Dick.
Lest this newly emerging head coach be poached by other teams in the past few days, because Hill knows that his image is not that good, almost equivalent to a head coach killer, and he is now on the go.
There have been no less than double-digit coaches, and coaching under him is not a pleasant thing. What if Dick just wants to use Atletico Madrid as a springboard? It just so happens that his performance in the past two months has been good enough, maybe there is
Many mid- to lower-tier teams will invite him. Although those mid-tier and lower-tier teams may not have much future, they can give Dick more power and freedom - he can see that Dick is a very controlling person*
* person, at least in the position of head coach!
People like Old Hill who fought their way out from the bottom and successfully occupied a place in the upper class can be called tycoons. The so-called tyrants are people like Liu Bei. He made mistakes and acted emotionally. However, at most critical moments,
But he is always able to make correct judgments in an instant, such as abandoning the people and running away alone in critical moments, throwing a dou to win Zhao Yun's heart, and making temporary pretense to force Zhuge Liang to assist the young master wholeheartedly... Being able to turn from a poor man into an emperor Zhaolie, this
This correct judgment saved his life countless times and allowed him to make further progress.
At this time, Old Hill made what he thought was the most correct judgment. Taking advantage of this opportunity for everyone to gather together, he loudly announced that he was about to sign a contract with Dick and delegate power, forming an established fact in advance. After all, if he waited until the next day to find Dick,
If he talked to Dick, Dick might shirk it and say that he would wait until after the King's Cup is over. This period of time can leave Dick more room... From this aspect, his judgment is quite correct, but he did not start from the beginning.
He only thinks about it from the team's perspective, but in fact he is not the head coach, and he doesn't need to consider the problem from the team's perspective. He only needs to start from the overall perspective.
As for whether he didn't expect this, or whether he wanted more tests to observe Dick, only God knows. He even thought darkerly, if Dick led the team to perform poorly in the King's Cup final.
In this case, the power delegated to him may be less, lest Dick unscrupulously install cronies and influence in the locker room. You must know that the power of a head coach is great, and if he has the support of all the players, the management will not be good.
As for changing the head coach - it is easy to change the head coach, but it is very difficult to change the entire team - just like Mourinho in later generations, after being kicked out of Chelsea by Roman Abramovich, Chelsea slowly improved in the next two or three seasons.
To regain their strength, the personnel changed one after another, but the key players who miraculously won the Champions League a few years later were still the old guys left behind by Mourinho - a top head coach running a club.
The impact on the club will be evident a year or two later.
However, Dick did not show any abnormality at the celebration party. He just smiled and hugged Old Hill, then turned around and raised his glass to all the players.
"Next season, that's what needs to be considered next season! I hope you don't just relax, because in two weeks, we will have the last important game of the season! The glory of the tenth King's Cup,
It will belong to us! We will leave a mark in the history of Atletico Madrid! Adjust your condition, save your energy, and show your best side to everyone for the last game of this season.
In front of Atletico Madrid fans!"
At this point, Dick shouted: "We have two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There will be no rest time until May 27th. We must use the best condition to welcome the last game.
