"Mr. Chairman, those words you just said at the celebration really made me passive..."
In the hotel room, Dick smiled bitterly and told Old Hill that there were only three people in the room now, him and Hill and his son.
Hearing what Dick said, the old Hill was still wiping his face with a hot towel, but the young Hill had already glared at Dick: "Di, what do you mean? Is it okay to announce that you will be the head coach next season?
Isn't it enough to have control over the team? Or do you already have an agreement with another team?"
Dick didn't even bother to look at him: "Mr. General Manager, the passiveness I'm talking about is not my job! It's the team's preparations! There is also a King's Cup final. To announce this news at this time, my preparations will be a little slow.
Passive... As for other teams, I think except for Real Madrid and Barcelona, there is no position in La Liga that I am more interested in than the head coach of Atletico Madrid."
Old Hill, who had paused for a moment, began to wipe his face vigorously with a towel again. He made an indistinct sound from the area covered by the towel: "Miguel, shut up..."
After saying this, Old Hill stopped talking and continued to wipe his face. It was not until he put down his hand that a bright and energetic face was revealed.
"Di, why do you say this will affect the preparations for the last game? After more than a month, I think everyone has begun to trust your strength, and your previous role as an interim head coach also made the fans worry about you.
Leaving after the end of the season caused panic. If you can be announced as the official head coach before the war, wouldn't it greatly improve our morale?" After putting down the towel, Old Hill immediately asked
asked Dick such a question.
"That's no problem. Such an announcement will of course be of great benefit to the entire club, but it may not necessarily be beneficial to the team's preparations." Dick shrugged and said.
Old Hill was not a stupid person. When he heard Dick keep emphasizing that it would have an impact on the team's preparations, he reacted: "You mean, the team's people's hearts will fluctuate?"
"That's it." Dick spread his hands: "You know, I didn't have any prestige in the team before. If you hadn't given me all the power to control the team and threatened that if you didn't do what I said, the ball would be destroyed.
If the team is relegated, I have to stay. How much magic power do you think I have to make them all obey? Now that they have been relegated successfully, this threat has lost its effect. I originally relied on this period of winning streak.
Momentum, the players will not think about next season in the short term, but now, they have to think about it, because next season they can completely guess that I will make some changes and changes to the team, and those who have not got a chance to play during this period
The players have to think about their way out next season... This impact will most likely affect our preparations for the finals!"
"It's true..." Old Hill had to admit this after thinking for a while, but he would not apologize - when had Old Hill ever apologized to the coach? He just asked: "Di, do you have any questions?"
Is there any way?"
"I just have to take my time. In the next round of the league, I plan to let all the players who have never played before play. This can be regarded as an appeasement." Dick shook his head: "But fortunately, I will definitely use the previous ones in the finals.
The main force, these guys are in a more stable position, so they will be less affected... I will try my best to win this final, and at the end of this season, I will have a better draw."
"That's good." Old Hill nodded, and then smiled: "Di, do you have any ideas about the length of the new contract, its benefits and specific authority?"
"Mr. Chairman, I don't want to talk about this issue for now... You don't want my preparations to be interfered with before the final, right?" Dick laughed loudly: "We should wait until after the King's Cup final to discuss this issue.
"
Hearing what Dick said, Old Hill took a deep look at him and then laughed: "Okay, I didn't think it through well... I'll leave the final to you. I hope it can be in your hands."
Competing to win the 10th Copa del Rey in history!”
"I will try my best." Dick bent down slightly and then exited the room where Hill and his son were.
"Father, he refuses to renew the contract at this time, is it because..." After Dick quit, Little Hill asked Old Hill in a low voice.
"No." Old Hill shook his head slightly: "Now it seems that this guy is more ambitious than I thought... This is a good result. He has now angered Barcelona, and Real Madrid has not
Is there any interest in him? If you want to make a name for yourself in Spain, is there a more suitable club than Atletico Madrid? He is a smart man and will not do such stupid things... Several players in La Liga
Among the strong teams, he is not qualified to go to Barcelona and Real Madrid. The head coaching positions of Valencia and Deportivo are very stable. Only we are the most suitable for him... There is no need to be too suspicious of him. What he wants to pursue is the same.
We are the same, champions, let’s support him fully, if he can’t do it, it won’t be too late to kick him out.”
*********************************
After the celebration ceremony of successful relegation, Atletico Madrid fans had an easier time. They watched leisurely as Barcelona drew 2-2 with Valencia at home and was eliminated. The final champion
Hopes were dashed - because in the thirty-seventh round, although Barcelona defeated their opponents, Deportivo also mustered up the courage to defeat their opponents and won the La Liga championship one round ahead of schedule!
The La Liga champion is Deportivo, the Champions League champion is Real Madrid and Valencia, the King's Cup champion is Atletico Madrid and Espanyol - anyway, Barcelona has nothing to do!
In other words, after the end of this season, the powerful Barcelona did not win a formal championship as Dick said in October. In other words, Dick won that and Rodriguez.
The bet!
"Well, I'm not in a hurry. What I'm talking about is that the bet will be established after the end of the season. Maybe before the end of the season, Mr. Rodriguez can create a project that is recognized by FIFA and UEFA and is the only one in Barcelona."
If the club participates in an official competition, then I will be the loser!"
Dick said in an interview that he was being interviewed on the sidelines of Atletico Madrid's training ground. When the coach said this, the Atletico Madrid players, regardless of whether they were worried or not, were all laughing next to them - this coach
That's too bad. Does Rodriguez have this ability? Even if he has this ability, I'm afraid Barcelona wouldn't have the face to participate in such a competition, just like no one would consider the Catalunya Cup to be an official competition.
At this point, hearing the roar of laughter from the Atletico Madrid players behind him, Dick also laughed, and then pointed to the camera: "Wait, Mr. Rodriguez, May 20th
It’s the end of the league, May 21st. If you win, I will run naked. If you lose, please take the microphone in front of live TV!”
Rodriguez has been the most panicked person these days. He was watching the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Valencia at home with the last glimmer of hope. After Barcelona took the lead, he almost
He was so excited that he fainted, but after Valencia scored two goals in a row to overtake the score, Rodriguez was thrown into the abyss... Even if Barcelona finally equalized the score, it did not help their promotion at all.
…
"Asshole Dick, I..." Mr. Rodriguez lost his temper in his bedroom and almost smashed everything he could. He cursed Dick with all kinds of vicious words.
After scolding for a while, he started to scold Van Gaal again - even this stupid Dutchman doesn't know how many bowls of dry rice he can get without winning the Triple Crown. How can you die if you concentrate on playing in the league? What if you concentrate on playing in the league?
You can even get it in the league! Didn’t you see that Deportivo has no more than 70 points now? Barcelona has been able to get 70 or 80 points in the league in the past two seasons, most of the time.
Both of them can score more than 70 points. It is really stupid to lose to such an opponent...
Moreover, Rodriguez is also afraid of one thing, that is, after losing such a big face, the newspaper will not fire him directly - after all, with such a shameful reporter in the newspaper, the newspaper will also be embarrassed...
So he was very nervous when he went to work in the next few days. He was deeply afraid that a letter of termination would be sent to him at some point and his livelihood would be cut off. You must know that he had no other ability to make a living.
As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come true. The day after Barcelona completely failed to win any championship, he was called into the editor-in-chief's office.
"Vicente, you should know that Barcelona will not be able to win any official championship this season."
After Rodriguez entered the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief said something that frightened Rodriguez.
"Yes... yes, Mr. Editor-in-Chief." Rodriguez said resignedly: "I lost that bet, and I don't think I can continue to work at World Sports News... I will resign immediately, sir.
"
The editor-in-chief was noncommittal, and after a long time he said to Rodriguez: "Mr. Vicente, you know, many people in Barcelona now hate that guy named Dick."
"I hate him even more!" Rodriguez said in his heart.
"Barcelona has not won any championships this season, and the club is under a lot of pressure..." The editor-in-chief's lips curled up: "At this time, we need to do something to relieve the pressure on the club."
"You mean..." Rodriguez heard something.
"Write a column, keep an eye on that guy named Dick 24 hours a day, and look for trouble with him at any time... Can you do this task?" the editor said, staring at Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was overjoyed - he was promoted instead of being fired! This is really a reversal! Is this a blessing in disguise...
"I can do it, I will definitely do it. I will find ways to disgust that bastard so that he can't make any prosecution against our newspaper!" Rodriguez shouted loudly, of course he knew the editor-in-chief's
What is the purpose of opening a column to attack a coach who is hated by all Barcelona fans? It will certainly make the newspaper's sales in Catalonia better, but it cannot be directly attacked personally, otherwise it will be sued by the other party in turn.
That's the end of the court - but there are many ways for reporters and newspapers to avoid this. For example, if they say "Dick is a fool" in the newspaper, they will definitely be taken to court directly by Dick.
, however they can say "Dick is probably a fool because of something or other." As for whether it is true or not, it depends on what the readers think...
